The View From the Top

of our little piece of heaven, that is.  We finally got moved into our new home last weekend.  The move went really well and thankfully my Dad came down to help out.  He didn't waste time reminding me that this was my fifth move in 10 years.  Oh, well.  I guess I'll never get all that Army brat out of me after all.  His fault anyway! 

The house is great.  I feel like we picked a perfect layout for our family and the way we live.  There is very little wasted space and we have bags of room without even finishing the basement.  I'm afraid we may NEVER see the kids once we do!  As it is, they love to spend most of their time on "their floor" of the house (the second floor, which consists of their two bedrooms, a bathroom and a kids study). 

One of my favorite rooms in the house is the kids' bathroom.  I had found a vanity at Pottery Barn that I loved, but was just not what I wanted to spend.  I found an almost identical item on Ebay for HALF the price.  It came with the countertop and faucet as well.  Mirror from Lowe's, light fixture from Shades of Light, and towel rack from Restoration Hardware (but purchased at a discount on Ebay).  All of the towels and accessories and the shower curtain were purchased at a Pottery Barn outlet.  The entry to the bath is hardwood, but the shower surround is a white hexagonal mosaic.  The fixtures are all polished chrome. 

Enjoy!
