Swinging for Paige

We made the big splurge and finally bought Paige a new swing!!! I was so excited to come home and put it together until we opened the box! I have never seen so many pieces of wood and screws, this is going to be a serious job. Here is a picture of the one we got



isn't it grand? Hopefully we can get it together before Paige turns 16 and wants a kindle instead! So far we got the rock climbing wall and the part to the left that holds the swings.

Bathroom fun for everyone!!

The shower is officially painted, grouted, and ready for business!! Paige loved the new bench and I really liked my new cool niches to hold shampoo and conditioner. The new kohler toilet and Delmar Sink vanity were installed today.  We still have a few more things to do.

1. Install the light fixture
2. Buy and Hang a new Mirror over the sink
3. Hang the doors and shelves for the tall cabinet
4. Finish tiling and grouting the laundry room
5. Move the washer and dryer
6. Get some pretty new towels and rugs 

Here are a few pics of the progress

Destiny's Prom Dress 2012

Shopping for Destiny’s dress to wear to prom has been an interesting experience. She ear marked an entire seventeen magazine. I decided enough is enough and I just ordered her this cute number by Jessica Mcclintock in baby pink.  Online ordering is pretty interesting sometimes you love it and sometimes you don’t, so we will just have to wait and see. 

Well without further ado, here it is……..

Isn’t it pretty??!!!  I think so! I also really think this hair style is pretty!  Good thing my Destiny likes my taste.

Or this one?

bathroom happenings!!

It has been busy here at the Aouina Casa, yesterday I was at IKEA my favorite store getting the new cabinet for over the toilet and a tall wall cabinet to hold towels and other bathroom necessities. I put them both together by myself in under an hour.  I just need to add the hinges for the doors.

I went with the Adel doors

 I have been debating whether I want to add mirror to the front of the cabinet to give the illusion that the space is bigger. Kind of like this cabinet in the picture!

The wall tile for the shower is done on 2 sides and we are waiting for the new granite piece to be cut and added to the bench.
Hopefully the dry wall will be all finished today cross your fingers for me...
