My Dream Master Bathroom

Last July, the hubs and I were seriously tossing around the idea of selling our home. Adam purchased our 1970s split level 6 years ago, put so much heart into this house, and we thought we were ready to move on to purchasing our first house together.

We were getting excited to dream of new possibilities, but the more we were fixing up our house to prepare for selling, a funny thing happened. We kind of fell in love with our little fixer upper after remodeling the kitchen, getting brand new gorgeous flooring, painting wood paneling, and so many other little projects.

Of course now that we've decided to stay and put more soul into our home, we're dreaming of the next few projects. And after squeezing to get by each other while we both try to get ready in our tiny "on suite" (I saw this with a laugh, as it's a dinky mini bathroom attached to our room), I'm dreaming about the idea of these gorgeous master bathrooms. A glimpse inside my inspiration...

Sophisticated master bathroom features polished nickel mirrors over blue vanities with laser cut doors and turned legs topped with white marble countertops atop calacatta michaelangelo marble floor flanking doorway to walk-in shower and water closet.:

The bathroom is one of the few rooms in the house where many people are willing to spend huge sums of money to renovate. Inspired by dream magazine bathrooms, homeowners want to create a bathroom t…:

Bathroom design brings two spaces together..bathtub in the shower??!! Wonderful!:

With chic tiling (I love the wide variety at PlumbTile!), like herringbone flooring and gorgeous glass mosaics, I am dreaming about a spa like master bath full of cool grays and crisp whites. Where fluffy white towels are rolled up in baskets, fancy bathroom sinks adorn marble counter tops, and a vase of fresh flowers brighten the whole room.

There are so many different looks that I love. How on earth would I choose between rustic chic style with reclaimed wood and nature elements, and the ultra spa-like chic look of gorgeous marble surfaces and sparkly chandelier lighting?

And those huge walk-in showers! I can't even imagine a world where I don't have to wedge my leg halfway up the side of our 3ft by 3ft shower to shave - ha! With all this daydreaming, the Haskins House may be getting a face lift sooner than later!

What does your dream master bath look like?
Are you ready for a home reno project?

5 Summer Blockbusters I Am Dying to See

With summer approaching quickly, there is one thing I can't wait for aside from lazy pool days... good movies. The countdown is on for these 7 movies, and don't you worry, I linked each movie title to their official trailers. #overachiever


1) Ghost Busters - July 15th

The funny ladies are in the house! Can't wait to see this cast reinvent a cinema classic!




2) Finding Dory - June 17th

I absolutely fell in love with Finding Nemo when it came out 13 years ago (has it been that long?!) and I can't wait to see what magical adventure Pixar takes us on this time around.



3) Me Before You - June 3rd

This looks both heartwarming and completely ugly cry prompting... Can't wait.



4) Secret Life of Pets - July 8th

I saw this preview in theaters last Christmas and have been counting down ever since. I'm a huge animated movie fan, and this looks hilarious. Think I can sneak in my dog?



5) Captain America: Civil War - May 6th

I know, I know. I'm not typically a huge fan of this genre, but Adam got me hooked on the Avengers and all of the movies. Great date night compromise! #wifepoints




And because another great wave of movies are always released in the fall, I couldn't bear to leave these few out! ;)


1) Fantastic Beast and Where to Find Them - November 18th



2) Sully (no trailer released yet) - September 9th



3) The Girl on the Train (reading this right now!) - October 7th


4)  Moana - November 23rd


.:::.:::.:::.:::.:::.


So, how did I do?
Anything I need to add to my list?

I can already smell the buttery popcorn and junior mints...

Gratitude Lately




Lately I've been thankful for this guy, in all his freckly glory, and how hard he works every single day to bring home the bacon.

For Harry Potter at the symphony, good views, and unleashing my inner Gryffindor nerd.

For high majestic ceilings that make me want to lay on the floor in the middle of the train station.

For neighborhood ice cream shops and how they remind us that summer's a'coming!

For zoo days with these party animals (...and the live penguin cam for work days I wish I was zoo-ing.)

For colorful grocery store finds that lift my Monday blues.

For sisters who make even better besties.

For rainy days and awesome playlists.

For nights out on the town and really pathetic selfie attempts.

For walks with views.

For noshing on the best Mexi food in town.

And for boozy family dates that include grapefruit champagne cocktails


.:::.:::.:::.:::.:::.


Here's to gratitude and how it makes life fuller, and the smallest things more than enough. As always, thanks for the inspiration, Today's Letters!


  //  What are you thankful for today? //
