We’ve assembled furniture together before and say that the task tests a couples’ relationship like no other (kind of like moving), but fortunately yesterday there were no quarrels or pieces of furniture thrown out the window in frustration.
Success!
Ryan and I each tackled two pieces of furniture on our own and would just ask the other person for help when necessary. Having total control of our own “project” made the process fairly painless.
I say that, but I didn’t have the furniture with drawers. Thank you to Ryan for assembling the hard stuff.
My stuff wasn’t a walk in the park though, I swear.
Just check out my brand spankin’ new bookcase that I assembled all by myself!
It’s big and cumbersome but putting it together only took two hours. (And no, it’s not crooked. Not sure why it looks that way in the picture.)
Guest Bathroom
I believe I promised you guys some pictures of our fully decorated guest bathroom yesterday!
Our bathroom was decorated around these towels I bought using a gift card to Anthropologie yesterday.
I’ve had my eye on these towels for more than a year. (I wanted to register for them for our wedding, but Anthropologie doesn’t have a registry. Bust!)
After finally purchasing the towels yesterday, our bathroom came together fairly easily since I have an affinity for yellow décor and already had a lot of stuff that seemed to work well in the bathroom.
I bought the “shabby chic” shower curtain at Target earlier this week and love the vintage feel!
If I could I would make every single room in our house have a yellow theme. I love the bright sunshiny look of the color.
Breakfast
I’m not sure why I was up at 7 a.m. when Ryan and I didn’t get to sleep until after 2 a.m., but I’m going to blame my body’s desire for a yummy breakfast for the reason I awoke so dang early.
Breakfast included a toasted sweet wheat bagel, topped with melted sharp cheddar cheese, a fried egg and raspberry jelly.
Great pre-walk fuel for a nice 30-minute morning walk with Ryan and Sadie.
Today is going to be spent working on decorating our house. I need some frames, storage items and pretty candles to complete the look of my home office. Hopefully I’ll have it decorated and ready to show you guys soon!
Oh and my sister is stopping by today because she was nearby in Gainesville with some friends for the UF game last night. Can’t wait to see her!

I loooove Anthropologie!! The towels look perfect in the bathroom 🙂 I generally avoid my boyfriend when he’s assembling things.. it makes him cranky!
Your bathroom looks so pretty!!! I think the yellows you chose are perfect :). They are so “happy” looking
Is that “Oh The Places You’ll Go” on your book shelf!!!??? Graduation present?
That Dr. Suess knows his stuff. Sneetches is a must read for every person!
Both the pathroom and bookcase look really nice. I say job well done julie!
When my husband and I (boyfriend at the time) put together a headboard from Target that was missing the letter labels on the pieces with out arguing, I knew we were meant to be. 🙂
I love the yellow and white flowers! They’re so bright and cheerful! I think that every bathroom should have fresh flowers. Along with every bedroom, every dining room, every kitchen, every office and every living room. Ha!
This may seem very random, but I’m jealous over your picture hanging abilities! I renovated the main level of my townhouse back in May, and have yet to hang anything back up because I hang everything crooked! With freshly painted walls – that are currently hole free – I want to make sure that I only have to put the nail in once. Any tips?
I love how your bathroom turned out, and love the furniture you picked out at Ikea. If I had one nearby, I think my whole place would be done in their furniture:) Can’t wait to see how the office turns out!
Cute! I actually think decorating bathrooms is really fun. They’re small, so it doesn’t take much…just the perfect accessories.
I have to know – is the furry toilet seat cover your addition or was it there already?!
I love the yellow color in the bathroom! It makes everything feel bright and sunny! 🙂
I’ve been loving those towels too! The bathroom looks awesome. We have a pretty big vanity in the guest bath too and I just never knew what to fill it with, I might have to take some pointers 🙂
decorating is so fun, isn’t it! too bad its so expensive! our master bath is decorated in yellow, gray, and white as i love yellow as well!

Ugh i love your decorating! I feel like I need a bunch of pieces to really pull together my home. The bathroom looks great! 🙂
This is my 2nd comment in a row about towels but I have those Anthro towels in my guest bathroom in gray. I love them!
Omg decorating sins! Carpet toilet seat covers are so tacky! What year is it?
really? i’ll take your word for it – i’m definitely no expert decorator. what else do you put on a toilet seat?
i love the towels and the entire yellow theme!!!
