Bathroom decorating

Our upstairs bathroom has been pretty bland ever since we moved in. I am determined to spruce it up! It was one of the last rooms I felt like fixing up because not very many people see it. A few weekends ago, after we found out we were going to get to stay in our apartment, I purchased an etagere. That fancy word is basically a cabinet that fits over the toilet. It was super cheap at Hudsons Dirt Cheap, and it really made a difference. I am not through styling it yet though. I think that if I add some glass knobs it will look so much cuter and shabby chic. The funny thing is that the knobs will cost almost as much as the cabinet! Here is a picture of the etagere I bought (the only difference is that mine only has the cabinet doors on the bottom shelf, the top two are open) and the shower curtain I am saving up for:

Any ideas for some cute art to go in the bathroom? I am worried about hanging pictures in there because of the steam, but I know people do it all the time. How do you deal with taking care of wall hangings in the bathroom?

It's so easy to fall in love

Here is one of my most recent obsessions: Re-Ment! What is re-ment? It is gorgeous, extremely realistic Japanese miniatures! How can you not love miniatures. I made my first re-ment purchase with some birthday money, and it has taken some self control to avoid blowing non-birthday money on even more. I have decided to purchase some re-ment photographs as a compromise for the real thing. I found some super cute ones from a new favorite blog of mine. I definitely am going to buy the image above. It's in pugly pixel's etsy shop.

Here is one more image I think I am going to have to buy...

Afternoon Tea

This has been a work-filled summer so far, but I did get to spend a wonderful few days with Julie up here. We had a tea party one afternoon with cucumber sandwiches (made with home grown cucumbers my co-worker gave me), chicken salad sandwiches, lemon curd tarts, and yummy raspberry white chocolate scones my friend gave me for my birthday (she gave me 13 huge scones...it was an awesome present!). So many things have been going on this summer, and it was nice to take a few days off and just relax.

Here are a few of the many things that have happened this summer:

Jordan decided to stay in school and starting working towards his PhD.
I found out I get to keep my job at the school! (which means soo many things, including the fact that I may get to start taking graphic design classes for free)
I have spent some time decorating, reorganizing, and cleaning our apartment, and I have a lot of ideas in the works.
I discovered a new love- card making! (I'll have to post some of my creations on here)

Things that are happening in the near future:

We are probably heading up to Maine this weekend : ) Dreading the long drive, but looking forward to seeing family and enjoying the gorgeous Maine summer!
Our small college town will be swarmed with college students! I'm going to miss the quiet summer town and the lack of traffic.

This first summer after graduation has been pretty fun so far. Life moves soo fast, and I have to say, I think this is one of my favorite stages in life...so far at least. I love getting to enjoy my husband and lead the simple life we do.
