Well, the time has come for the guest bathroom to finally show herself! This is one of those posts that doesn’t need too many words because the focus should really be on the photos themselves. The only problem here is that these images are not all that I expected them to be.
You see, I have been studying Joanna Gaines new book- specifically, her chapter on bathrooms and I was pretty convinced that because our bathroom looks really nice to us, it would lend itself easily to being photographed. The truth is that I have a habit of seeing someone else do something well and immediately assuming that if I try hard enough, I can do the same. I will never forget the first time that this problematic trait of mine showed itself.
I was about 7-years-old and had seen a Sports Illustrated for Kids special on TV one Sunday morning. It just so happened that I had a big soccer game coming up later that day and on the special, they broke down exactly how to head a soccer ball. It was something that I had never actually attempted but had seen some of the other (more skilled) soccer playing 2nd graders do. The kids on TV made it look SO easy.
Ok, so if you didn’t get the hint from the title of this post then here is your warning- this post is not going to be pretty. There are going to be pictures that are even uglier than usual because if we are being honest, this part of the renovation is not even a little bit beautiful. It’s kind of fun and it’s super exciting, but it is kind of terrible not nice to look at.
This morning, Ronan asked me why I was in a bad mood and I told him that I had been on Pinterest again. He needed no further explanation. Instagram and Pinterest and all the other beautiful social media outlets are awesome, but they can be daunting too. Right now, I am feeling like the day when I can take a picture of a room in this house and not wince is a longgggg way off. I can assure you that no one is going to be pinning the pictures I am about to post. However, we need your help with a decision and this is the best way to show you what we are working with. So, brace yourself because it’s about to get ugly.
