Beautiful Spring

I just love when Spring comes. All the earth comes back to life, the birds are singing, and the air is filled with the smell of fresh flowers.
We planted our garden two weeks ago and have already been able to enjoy fresh cilantro on our taco night this past Friday. We also planted all of the flowers in our front yard and created a planter bed in a ring around the base of the tree in the front yard. This year my Wisteria has already produced tons of flower clusters. I absolutely love it! Last year I only had 2 flowers on the whole thing.



And a drum roll please......... The bathroom remodel is finally done!
We are elated that we finally get to fully use the Master Bath after a year and half of living in our house. We forgot to take "before" pictures before starting the demo work but here are the Bathroom before and after photos.


The wall that you see exposed made it difficult to maneuver when two people are trying to get ready for work at the same time. Not to mention that there was only one sink with a small mirror above. Attached to the sink cabinet was an attached bookcase. Since I do my homework in the office, this was wasted space; and the shelves were fixed in position so I couldn't put any bottled items on it. It pretty much was used for toilet paper storage.

Before



After



From a different view. Darle Incorporated the same glass tile into the back splash as was used in the shower. The pictures came out much darker than the bathroom actually is. The tile on counter is a light cream / beige color and the light from the window really brightens the area.

Before
It was even smaller that it looks.
After

I just love this shower! Complete with two shower heads and a center rain head, built in seat in the back and a beautiful glass tile insert. We put in a clear glass door so we could see and admire Darle’s hard work even when not using the shower. Plus, having the clear glass keeps the bathroom feeling open.
