my great idea at Wal-Mart...

I saw some University of Utah bathroom decor at Wal-Mart and thought hmmmmm .... Then last Saturday I was again in Wal-Mart and something overtook me and I decided to remodel our downstairs bathroom. I don't know what it was, but it had to be something pretty powerful to motivate me to go IN that room! On top of that I wanted to get it done before Marcus got home to surprise him, IN 4 DAYS! Crazy I know...but it all turned out great!

My Dad helped me with the plumbing and our friends Jake and Jessica helped one night with the tile. Jake tiled himself into the tub so I finished cutting while he sat there and ate ice cream...

Don't worry, the project was completed with pink tools...

This is what Maizie did while I neglected her... (notice how the table is collapsing?)

And the finished project!!

You're singing the fight song right now aren't you?? A Utah Man am I...

The pictures don't quite do it justice, stop by and see it for yourself!!

I love the tile behind my toiled, easy clean-up after 2 little, okay 3 little boys ... my friend Lindsay stayed up late with me one night to give moral support while I put this tile on the wall, which is saying a lot because we were supposed to be scrapbooking. I kept telling her that if she weren't there I probably would have been crying, instead of laughing!! I had many a nightmare about my tile slipping and sliding everywhere...but it didn't!!

Marcus was in shock, I picked him up from the airport, drove home and blindfolded him to see this and then we took off to Mesquite, so it was quite a day!! He was so excited and said, "Now lets do the kitchen!" I think I need a little break from my 3 day bathroom remodel!!
