Nobody has seen our new place except for people in Denver. So, the house tour posts I'll be putting up this week are...
- For all my family and friends back in California to look at and pretend they are actually here visiting (Since we can't really have an official housewarming party with all of you. Although, could you imagine that? Best. Housewarming. Ever.)
- To serve as "works in progress" photos because I am still figuring out where everything needs to go and the over all design details of the house.
- If we have not met, and you are reading this, for you to see my at home design (thanks for visiting!) and decide if you like my taste.
In the meantime though, I hope you feel welcomed in our new home by these photos even though we are miles apart, most of us.
The smallest room in the house is where this tour begins. Our bathroom is deprived of storage space, so we make due! It is also a tricky space to work with because it is so small. I don't want it to be packed with clutter, but bathrooms are notorious for being full of everything we need in our daily routine, meaning tons of stuff (and I don't even have kids yet, which I hear ups the amount of bathroom items ten fold). I have a set of three mirrors in the plans to be painted the put up in this space (think sprig of celery and orange sherbet as the color inspiration....) The walls are pretty barren right now. More on that project later, let's get on with photographs.

Jars are a great way to organize. Ones with lids are especially useful for keeping things dust free. The antique looking jar in the back of the tray is filled with makeup brushes and other beauty essentials.

| This monographed tray I just found yesterday at West Elm. It helped me cope with my need for cobalt at a cheap $2 and keep tiny clutter off the counter top and away from water splashes (like bobby pins, chapstick, glasses, etc.) |

| Matt gets all the credit for putting up this Ikea shelf, and pinterest gets credit for giving me the storage idea. I will paint ithe shelf eventually. I need to let it settle in the room for a bit and I can contemplate colors each time I visit the bathroom. Any suggestions? Maybe even a nautical stripe? |

| Take note: Hardly any storage (I'm not even going to show you what it looks like under the sink, sheesh!) Another plan is to makeover an over the toilet storage cabinet I bought on craigslist last month. Sadly, the dimensions of the storage unit are slightly off, so it needs some tweaking and a new paint job before making its debut. A project to keep an eye out for! |

| Opted for a new clean waffle white linen curtain from Cost Plus World Market. |
Now you know where I brush my teeth morning and night.
