Finally because I could not justify buying a TV for the bathroom. No one needs a TV at all especially not in the bathroom , but it is a nice thing to have and I know it's a luxury.<br />I just had a milestone birthday which I didn't really care to announce....but it happened I turned 40 last week , that means I guess I'm really a grown up after all, hahaha !!!<br /><br />My husband decided to get me a 24" TV for the bathroom , I thought it was the perfect gift for me especially since I don't think I would have ever splurged on it myself...thank you thoughtful hubby...<br />We also had a lovely dinner out on the night of the worst winter storm in years and we are taking a big family trip in the upcoming months to Aruba , we are so excited....so hopefully my Mom will enjoy her stay at our Casa while she house /dog sits for us!<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEic_qkE4imHvmSU81FFF5IkdT1UpS6zDAHjm22TRhXm9VWg0x-wDYTsBuEjCmPawY02y_iCFRw6WbMD39STTP2Abf_cwzIgyE4_lBlZkCt2xblrp1mIqdff6YjeRnzzIcd0TU1iD_oC_6A3/s1600/222676_10151459852570295_2005881500_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEic_qkE4imHvmSU81FFF5IkdT1UpS6zDAHjm22TRhXm9VWg0x-wDYTsBuEjCmPawY02y_iCFRw6WbMD39STTP2Abf_cwzIgyE4_lBlZkCt2xblrp1mIqdff6YjeRnzzIcd0TU1iD_oC_6A3/s1600/222676_10151459852570295_2005881500_n.jpg" /></a></div> I will  be able to watch GMA in the morning while getting ready and even indulge in some Housewives shows in the evenings...how sweet!!!!<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrIAfLVHCtu6qT7HnKEzuu3WHR9J_4evq7G-qY4ehMlBv0cD0PD96YOQglQDVKFdeuPXWUrNbLygTvl2qqk_0OyQcRVdDnPrcS2RYXtvHYrSA3YJ_GfEO5-bXKjvAoa8a4Y6osOiTzD8yZ/s1600/013.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrIAfLVHCtu6qT7HnKEzuu3WHR9J_4evq7G-qY4ehMlBv0cD0PD96YOQglQDVKFdeuPXWUrNbLygTvl2qqk_0OyQcRVdDnPrcS2RYXtvHYrSA3YJ_GfEO5-bXKjvAoa8a4Y6osOiTzD8yZ/s640/013.JPG" width="480" /></a></div> I loved the mirror but I have always thought it would be neat to have a TV for the bathroom....I know lots of people will think this is nuts but that's OK....it's my bathroom .<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmsnrJwpo6DQphIQNdwuRK0i3_BzSM8qa_mpCUFUoG106zkBLv9XHxHbceDUVFH8KVfUod6bs8M8tlKXcFDVp7IKRU_egM5BsMuk10BliCpGVIvM70v_uTg-r2csySvVZRf-3WSYMz2MhP/s1600/photo.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="498" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmsnrJwpo6DQphIQNdwuRK0i3_BzSM8qa_mpCUFUoG106zkBLv9XHxHbceDUVFH8KVfUod6bs8M8tlKXcFDVp7IKRU_egM5BsMuk10BliCpGVIvM70v_uTg-r2csySvVZRf-3WSYMz2MhP/s640/photo.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiX-ijwo9i_mjgQ0uvrswOZpu71RiK6-kGu7BnIAkcz9PESCWAMgis8XB9XEQorEnEgncIC_nGrraT_T7GYd7YmFWGZU2jaj7DlswE5CCgvmKWpUmZtgBsb-GB16_z6uBRSjPIZRTnEjaMK/s1600/010.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiX-ijwo9i_mjgQ0uvrswOZpu71RiK6-kGu7BnIAkcz9PESCWAMgis8XB9XEQorEnEgncIC_nGrraT_T7GYd7YmFWGZU2jaj7DlswE5CCgvmKWpUmZtgBsb-GB16_z6uBRSjPIZRTnEjaMK/s640/010.JPG" width="480" /></a></div>Thank you for stopping by my blog today ,<br />Chris

It reminded me of our trip to Mexico , stormy beach which we experienced there, believe it or not it conjures up fond memories. This print came with a black frame with a reveal gap around it that I found strange so I simply removed the outer frame. I was happy to find a piece that had the color of my vanitiy in it also , that was a bonus.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgHjdQisDObdNdieGF_OtUN3dJ628GcX2VyMGLLMm97TqL_G_75m4QwOmpo2we9VYj5lADXYa4MdkaneIFhBkj_uQIeaTMcMg_Huq7Co0qU7AI6SGdhmm-HQ-0l2ioiocH0bGO0sHrGJY/s1600/photo+(1).JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="478" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgHjdQisDObdNdieGF_OtUN3dJ628GcX2VyMGLLMm97TqL_G_75m4QwOmpo2we9VYj5lADXYa4MdkaneIFhBkj_uQIeaTMcMg_Huq7Co0qU7AI6SGdhmm-HQ-0l2ioiocH0bGO0sHrGJY/s640/photo+(1).JPG" width="640" /></a></div> I was asked to explain how I attached the frame to my existing mirror. Well there are lots of tutorials out there but I will explain how I did install this extra wide frame. I decided to use construction adhesive to the mirror to attach the frame. I started with the bottom piece , I placed four long screws just below the mirror to act as support to hold the wood in place while the adhesive dried. I added the tape to hold the wood in place while it dried. After 4 hours the adhesive was set up enough to hold the wood solidly. I added the side pieces and leveled everything . After several more hours I attached the top piece of the frame. I painted everything and trimmed it all before I attached anything as well as the back of the wood, because of the reflection. That was it , pretty simple. I didn't remove the clips and they didn't pose a problem.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEje4Sv42K9hvi6hl1-XfQ_740hWzx5UENmfo87xSk7ofy4dkovERScH1fAPJ9RxJdDx_JyLT7HgPEzrymYlkZ1soywrvUU88Kt_wefJUAD2G3vmSx7kzB_SbFwdEa-5GMcAd_75tLwPCR0/s1600/001.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEje4Sv42K9hvi6hl1-XfQ_740hWzx5UENmfo87xSk7ofy4dkovERScH1fAPJ9RxJdDx_JyLT7HgPEzrymYlkZ1soywrvUU88Kt_wefJUAD2G3vmSx7kzB_SbFwdEa-5GMcAd_75tLwPCR0/s640/001.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> I then moved on to creating furniture detail feet for the vanity.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXvlkcTJscTM-h0No7x5M3Bb4_Q0S5W_Izgi8_SgIwBSZkXEhCFN1ZIRrwIpAAoiSHSFCOp8WTL74AoYT_4m7YwfYLKwAMmUpYnZ5E1W2MPjHKp99wnm7Z4E6O1DAzlM4H9SRvDM9u0LI/s1600/002.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXvlkcTJscTM-h0No7x5M3Bb4_Q0S5W_Izgi8_SgIwBSZkXEhCFN1ZIRrwIpAAoiSHSFCOp8WTL74AoYT_4m7YwfYLKwAMmUpYnZ5E1W2MPjHKp99wnm7Z4E6O1DAzlM4H9SRvDM9u0LI/s640/002.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> Creating these is pretty self explanatory from this photo.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQLcgIpuNNLpwFPuSwXLdsyXpyNaO0dMYBbbWaPeeqRhVXG-VqngEeyeteKeapQCCR56CP5KlddFTwIgDagw6V66o3kQLSKX-n786mkfrrTeb4ZQxAnEm_w9JXfHV60d5xNqdpM4J86_I/s1600/004.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQLcgIpuNNLpwFPuSwXLdsyXpyNaO0dMYBbbWaPeeqRhVXG-VqngEeyeteKeapQCCR56CP5KlddFTwIgDagw6V66o3kQLSKX-n786mkfrrTeb4ZQxAnEm_w9JXfHV60d5xNqdpM4J86_I/s640/004.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div> Wondering what this is? Well it was a pile of boards that I glued and laminated together...to create a wood counter top for my laundry room. I could have just bought a butcher block from Ikea but I thought what if I can make my own? It worked out . I used a belt sander to get an incredibly smooth finish...I then routered a beautiful roman ogee edge. I am going to install a under mount sink and I am planning on routering that cut out too. Exciting !!!! Now that I have learned how to do this the possibilities are endless.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAe9bhxHnxvGYnqYBNgEzhQaZeakatORCB-qeoqwnRF5z_5Am9whRPLWlj1NomMavhGiUJ0lgguG1DUIxtK5xeQo3kwwPpfbUiS-BdsbzjV3qt8IMVNVax4cb-vquzklKrFz-NMjoka94/s1600/photo+%25283%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAe9bhxHnxvGYnqYBNgEzhQaZeakatORCB-qeoqwnRF5z_5Am9whRPLWlj1NomMavhGiUJ0lgguG1DUIxtK5xeQo3kwwPpfbUiS-BdsbzjV3qt8IMVNVax4cb-vquzklKrFz-NMjoka94/s640/photo+%25283%2529.JPG" width="478" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTwcoxw1UZbANz7kIB7bFdj-2gBjwfo1z4Y5AjjcUJ3ycHGcxAUGEa2kiRnkA5VVHbcv35S7im8S5SNzPBLw7-3FZZa2Mm5w_7AKgrb0PqJtao4br8sEoYR1KTRTqb4zaA_mMSO-kYLwM/s1600/009.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTwcoxw1UZbANz7kIB7bFdj-2gBjwfo1z4Y5AjjcUJ3ycHGcxAUGEa2kiRnkA5VVHbcv35S7im8S5SNzPBLw7-3FZZa2Mm5w_7AKgrb0PqJtao4br8sEoYR1KTRTqb4zaA_mMSO-kYLwM/s640/009.JPG" width="480" /></a></div>Before the sanding started...<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAY-izTpclIyuvGtAklcGBrDpIq-OAJwezinv7qkg1MSN4qpNZt5qqIH6_uKIAo6OPnL29WlqMVLadaov6tk_8H1zoUZiXIMUMIwdQ5UFsqmmDZITCZ5dPBm7i-jDzYRFnsWZdo05rKho/s1600/011.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAY-izTpclIyuvGtAklcGBrDpIq-OAJwezinv7qkg1MSN4qpNZt5qqIH6_uKIAo6OPnL29WlqMVLadaov6tk_8H1zoUZiXIMUMIwdQ5UFsqmmDZITCZ5dPBm7i-jDzYRFnsWZdo05rKho/s640/011.JPG" width="480" /></a></div>After a lot of sanding...<br /><br />So now that it's Monday I will work on cutting out the sink hole , finishing the staining and sealing .
