His and hers matching armoires-I hate that word (http://tinyurl.com/this-is-how-you-say-it):

For use as nightstands (2 of these guys as well):

For use as....sleeping:

 Curtains (decided to go with a gray rather than a brown):

And then our tiny room will be packed with no more space for a thing!

Its About Time

After 2 years of living in Ty Bach Twt it became clear we needed to actually affix items to the walls.  Something we were hesitant to do until we were really, really, very, very sure we needed it.  Because despite what everyone says about it being easy to caulk/puddy/sand/repaint/whathaveyou a no-longer-needed drywall hole we were pretty much terrified to ruin things.

So in addition to the basement landing storage which will hopefully make it easier for us to put our stuff away at the end of the day we stuck more things into our walls in the name of organization.

For years our bathtowels in progress had no home.  They'd be bunched up on doorknobs or thrown over the hall banister.  It just seemed logical to finally put to use the Baldwin Alsace hardware we purchased in 2008 for this very purpose.  Yes, we have had "the answer to our problems" since 2008.

Though these are technically "robe hooks" they were so much less invasive than the "towel racks."

And no more will our hand and mouth towels (dry mouth after brushing teeth) be slung over the back of the tub.  They now have a place of their own.  Which looks like heaven in this picture...

These nicely accompany our existing potty paper holder.  He is happy to have matching friends.

Some other additions to the bathroom.  You can see my reflection in the glass but Im not naked.

Further, my fluffy RH monogramed robey robe now has a permanent home also.  No longer will he be balled up on the closet shelf or thrown across the foot of the bed.

Basement Landing-Storage

Our house has a single closet.  Which is so small it cant even house a hanger.  We desperately needed a place to store our coats, bags, and other everyday castoffts so we created the following.

Pottery Barn isnt usually our cup of tea but I happened upon this bulletin board and decided it was the perfect addition to help keep things organized in our gingerbread house.

We used leftover floor boards from our reclaimed wood floors along with some rusticy hooks to create the perfect coat racks.



We have the following light that will replace the current standard one initially installed by the electrician.

It is currently sitting in our kitchen because Hubs is afraid he will elecrocute himself so we have to phone a professional.
