Installing a shower and a card!

Finally another post, after a busy full work week, I had some relaxing time yesterday, did some shopping with Anouk, she needed a new Wintercoat and got 2 skinny jeans' too. Today Daylight saving time ended, so we had an extra hour of sleep, nice!!!!!!!


It's been a while that I showed you some pictures of the rebuilding we are still doing in the basement. This time of year is perfect for Henk to do some stuff there, and he did this weekend.


This is a corner in the bathroom downstairs, we are either building shelves there or by a nice cupboard to put towels and other stuff in. At the right side, you can't see it, is a toilet.



The vanity, tiles which were grouted yesterday and that makes it look a lot nicer. All the drywall has to be painted still, it's gonna be a kind of seablue, can't wait to see how it looks!

And this is the shower, it looked like this for a long, long time, Summer came..... no time to do stuff, so ........ we had to put the glass sides in..........

That was some work, the sides had to fit over the base which is on the walls, and actually, we needed extra hands, but... Henk and I both managed to get it right, so high five for us! Looks great doesn't it?

Then it was time to put the door in..... kind of difficult, so we needed Anouk to give us a hand, and that worked out perfectly fine! Henk is fixing something, no idea what to be honest LOL

And this is how it looks with the door closed..... and hubby didn't wanna get out, he was busy so... that's him you see! To make it extra funny it would be a great thing to turn the water on don't you think??? He, he! So, this needs some finishing touches, and then it's done. The drywall needs some mudding, and sanding, the most time taking work I think, and I guess by then we can start painting! So looking forward to the day it's finished, cause then we can do some shopping, by some nice matching towels and wash cloth's, some decoration...... Ah well, keep on dreaming, it'll happen and I'll keep you updated with pictures of what's going on.

This afternoon I finally had some "me" time, and lifted a Christmas card my sis made and showed on her blog a while ago! I don't think it looks as beautiful as hers, but.... that's because I don't have the papers she used! This is made with Basic Grey's Dasher, an old Winter line, but I still like it. Cut the Christmas trees myself, punched out stars, and used some K&Company's rub-ons for the "title". The longer I look at it, the more I start to like it! Got some more ideas, but not enough time left today, people here start to yell about supper...... Geez, give a girl some time...... gotto update here right?
Well, that's it for now, thanks for stopping by and have a great day! I have to work Monday and Tuesday and I think I'm off the rest of the week.... more "me" time coming?????

Cool shower room.
Love the card I think the old papers are very much the best, the new ones try to be too trendy & modern & Im a traditionalist I love blues & whites & green & reds.
Hope you get your me time.

Kun je altijd wat mee, toch?
Je geeft me weer inspiratie om verder te gaan met die kaarten, die ik toch moeilijk blijf vinden!

Fijne dag verder en bedankt, dat we even mee mochten genieten van die prachtige badkamer in aanbouw!
