Hello again

After taking a hiatus from my first short-lived stint on the blog, I've decided to try again. To be honest, I have been thinking about trying again for awhile but could not, for the life of me, remember my password to login. How I finally did figure it out, I'll never know, but alas the stars aligned and here I am again.

Snapshots has evolved in my mind to be a place for me to express the little snapshots of my life, my thoughts, ideas and inspirations. Here will be the intersection of all things related to that which I find interesting, beautiful, creative and fun. Enjoy - and do please let me know what you think!

Now that 2011 is here, I am hoping to finally realize my...wait for it - long dramatic pause - POWDER ROOM RENO!! I have obsessed about, scoured magazines and stores, desired high and low items and finally, after three years of waiting, will complete it! Here are some inspiring shots I'll be looking at to keep me on track as I finally go forward with my little reno project!

Who knew that a toilet could make me do a double-take? Ah, well it's the simple pleasures in life that make me happy.

I'm loving the contrast of the rich wood and the clean, crisp white of the vanity and storage units. Oh, and that sink!

Rustic charm. The old planks on the floor and the old vanity juxtaposed with the more modern sink. Loving it!!

A bright, cheery bathroom. The bold yellow wallpaper against the whiteness of everything else makes me smile!

I'll keep you posted with photos of my own budget bathroom reno as we go and maybe inspire you a little too. Until next time!
