the vanity sink is gone! and so is the linoleum! mike said it was a bit of a struggle removing the linoleum since there were THREE layers of it. i assume from the 6 previous owners... a few of them laid new linoleum on top of the old instead of removing it. ugh. here we are making things right!

bathroom remodel #3
work, work, work! this past weekend, June 30 & July 1, Mike and Dave worked on ripping out the rest of the old bathroom. the vanity sink, toilet, and that hideous linoleum floor! we're down to the bare bones now. it's been real exciting to watch this process, as well as be a part of it... i suppose only other homeowners can relate to this. so far, we've spent roughly $300 on temporary dumpsters to remove all the debris and a couple new tools to help get the job done with ease. our budget is $2000 for the entire renovation.

birchbox: june
my june birchbox arrived yesterday and there's some great goodies! apologies for the poor quality photos, they're from my iPhone.
anyhoos, i received a $25 off coupon for Artspace. i thought it was a waste when i first visited the website and saw pieces going for $1000! but after some browsing and filtering, i managed to find some great artwork & photography for under $200. not bad! i'm anxious to test out the Jouer tinted moisturizer since that's still on my list of things to find for myself. last month, i received Dr. Jart' s BB cream which is also a tinted moisturizer... left my skin feeling soft, but the tint was horrendous on my tan complexion... i looked like a geisha girl! this month's birchbox also came with its first men's product to promote their men's birchbox line... funny, the men's birchbox costs $20. i can't picture men paying that much for a bunch of sample products, especially when us females are only paying $10 for ours. anyway, you can never have too many band-aids available and i love the cute designs. i also tried the Balm cosmetics, staniac, but didn't see much of a difference when i applied to my lips. can't wait to try the rest of my goodies! 'til next month!
