Saw it. Pinned it. Did it. - Wine basket (Bachelorette gift)

Hey everyone...it's a post that is not about baby or pregnancy!!! It's actually about WINE :)   I'm linking up for the first time for Saw it, Pinned it, Did it!   For my friends bachelorette party last weekend, I found this wine gift basket idea on pinterest. I only 'liked' it so my friend wouldn't see that I pinned it!

   How super cute is that?!!?   The person that created this even has a pdf of different colors for you to print the tags in a color that you like. I picked navy since that is one of the colors of my friends wedding.  

SUPPLIES:

Navy card stock

Printed tags

Hole punch

Decorative scissors

Paper cuter

Ribbon

Zots

After I printed the tags, I cut them to size

After cutting the tags, I used the zots to put them on the navy card stock. I then used the decorative edging scissors to cut them out. I used the paper cuter for the straight edge.

I then used the hole punch to tie the ribbon into and then put them on the wine bottles.

I used a sheer navy ribbon to decorate the basket.

And here they all are pretty in the basket!!!!

My friend LOVED them!!! All the other girls thought it was very cute and creative!!

This was so fun doing and it is super easy and I guarantee the bride to be will LOVE IT!!!

Mirror is from Ikea and we got new vanity light covers

 

Shower curtain is from Target

Everything else is from Ikea

 

What we plan to still do

I still need to paint the trim

New white doors

Decor for on top of counters

 

These items are not crucial so I feel like it's done.

 

I love how it turned out. I feel like it's a breath of fresh air and feels bigger!

 

I feel very relieved to have both bathrooms pretty much complete!

 

 

Bathroom #2 = finished

I am so happy to announce that we have finished remodeling bathroom #2. This was the first project we started way back when...I don't like to think of when!

 

I'm so excited to reveal the finished product to you all!!!

 

Where we started...

 

We peeled off wallpaper and painted the walls. We replaced ALL the gold. We installed new counters and made many trips to our home improvement stores.

 

All our hard labor has paid off...all the money spent was totally ok!!

 

Love all the bronzed fixtures!!!

It's done. We can cross it off the list!

 

We are still working on bathroom #1 and the kitchen! Glad it's getting cold out because then I don't feel bad staying in and painting :)

 

Here are some past post on Bathroom #2 remodel project:

 

Started

Update

 

Let's change it up...in the Kitchen!

It's time to share some news with you all...we started remodeling the kitchen!

 

It had been very time consuming and the biggest part of the remodel is almost over...but we need to start from the beginning!

 

Before pictures...

 

We have planned to:

-stain cabinets dark espresso

-new quartz counter tops

-new sink and faucet

-new laminate flooring

-white baseboard

-stainless steel appliances

-paint walls
-tile back splash

 

We started with the cabinets first. Since this was such a big project, I decided to break it up into 'pieces' so it wasn't overwhelming and never-ending. I picked the 'bottom' cabinets first since the counters would be installed shortly and I didn't want to ruin our counter tops by accidentally getting stain on them.

Another thing we had to fix was the cabinets surrounding the fridge we got a year ago. The old fridge was a french door style and our new one is a bottom freezer type. It wouldn't fit in the original space so Tate had to saw off part of the cabinets to make it fit. The new fridge was also skinnier than the older one so there was more space on the sides.

When my dad came to help us rip out the counters, we asked for his assistance on putting in 'fillers' so that the space surrounding the new fridge didn't look funny. He first sawed down the top cabinet more and straight and then put in fillers on the side so that we could actually have a bit bigger counter space on the side of the cabinet and there wouldn't be an odd space between the cabinet and fridge.

What the space looked like after Tate had made room for the new fridge.

 

The bottom filler on the left and you can see a glimpse of the top filler on the right!

 

I love how the fillers turned out. It didn't match if they matched or not because we were staining them anyway...but they turned out great and now there is no odd space!

 

Before the counters were ripped out and I had a good number of coats of stain on the bottom cabinets!

 

And then the counters were removed and this is what we lived like for 5 days. Counters were installed on day 5...then plumbing on day 6.

 

We are making progress and it's already changed so much since the above picture. I'll be back with another update soon!

 

Bathroom #1 2nd update

It's getting so close to being done that I can taste it and that excites the heck out of me :)

 

If you recall...the before pictures

 

 

We have finished staining the vanity and linen closet.

I have painted the bathroom.

We have had the new granite counters installed.

We hired a plumber to come over and hook the sinks back up.

 

Love our 'fiesta' counters with white under mount sinks.

 

The linen closet

 

 

 

Up close of the vanity!

 

The latest progress shot!

 

We have yet to do:

Purchase mirror

Decorate

Get vanity light covers

Paint trim

Purchase and install new doors

 

This bathroom is 85% complete! Hopefully I will get the mirror this weekend. The painting of the trim and new doors are not high on the priority list (can be a winter project), but the first two to-do items will hopefully be done soon!

 

First update post

Start of remodel project

 

Bathroom #1 update

Things are moving forward very nicely for our remodel projects! This weekend was full of demolition and getting things done. I am so excited for the new counters to be installed on Thursday!!!!

 

The before pictures...

 

And here is where we currently are:

 

Removed the ugly mirror and removed the back splash before my dad arrived!

Counter and sinks removed! Also...my beautiful stained vanity is full of saw dust and I was freaking out that it was going to get ruined during demolition. Lucky...only a couple scratches and I fixed them up right away :)

The drawers and doors all done being stained. Just waiting a few more days before I put on the top protective coat!!!

Installed new trim that I will paint white (they were bought already primed). At some point we will be painting the trim around the doors white and replacing the hallow doors with nice 6 panel white doors!

Some more trim!



 

Can't wait for it to be finished!!!
