And after all that...

As I noted earlier, this weekend was spend splashing different white paints all over my second storey to see how the paints worked in our light.  Well, after much consideration, none of them worked.  I then took my swatch of tile, hardwood and selection of fabrics and whatnots and placed them up against the stairwell wainscoting, which is two thirds untinted white paint mixed with a 1/3 of my fave warm gray (BM OC-14), and it's perfect.  It was literally staring me in the face the entire time.

I've already warned my husband we'll likely be painting the first storey white as well after we finish the second storey...

More etsy finds...  I love these. They're from Drawings and Paintings by Yellena.  I am very excited to see what these will look like in person!

I said it was an addiction.  These are from Nancy Tobin's shop...

Newfound addiction...

These are from Serpentine's store.  So beautiful.  This might be a real possibility for a custom piece over the tub.

Things are happening!

We've agreed on a price with our contractor and we start on January 10th!  Our hardwood has been ordered and is being loaded on truck out in Montreal tomorrow.  Our tiles have arrived as have our drain traps and supply lines.  We're still waiting on other items to make their way to us (our bed, washstands, shower and fixtures) but it's exciting to see things happening.

Lately, I've been amusing myself with Etsy, slowly putting together a collection of art for our second floor.  Here are a few pieces I've found.  These are from Bad Bird.  The first is Snow White and the Usual Suspects.  The second is Gornack Feel Pretty Today.  I love the attitude in the first.  The second made me laugh.
