Harvest time

We planted 3 tomatoe plants this year and they grew like crazy. We got quite a few tomatoes over the summer, and we just picked our final "harvest". Since last night was supposed to be the first freeze of the year (possibly hitting 32 degrees over night...booo) we picked all the tomatoes that were left... and the green ones are suppose to still rippen if we wrap them in newspaper inside the house, we will see. Time for some caprese salads and pico de gallo!

Bathroom remodel

So, we decided to remodel our spare bathroom on our main floor off our Office. It was a 2 weekend project that became a 2 month project, haha, typical for us. We are really happy with it though, and glad its finally done!

The bathroom before had old linoleum that was peeling up at the edges, country themed wallpaper (a strip around the middle of the wall), and a toilet from the 70's. =)

We pulled up the floor and put in new tile, painted the walls brown, and put in white wainscoating. We also got a new eco-friendly toilet and some new light fixtures at ikea (the new lights still are not in yet). We almost did small white octagon tiles that we thought would fit with the 1919 age of the house, and then at the tile store changed our minds and got brown stone tiles which I love! Glad we changed our minds, I think they look great with the white wainscoating and brown walls.
