no kidding, let's have a big sigh of relief ~ ahhhh~
I've had a super busy week...you could say March went out like a lion for me.
On Monday I dropped off my darling husband at the airport for a business trip to Florida. I said...'are you sure you want to do this...leave for the week?...you know how nothing is the same when you get back?'..... he said yes, he had to go. Okay...kiss -kiss~ bye then. I left him at the airport, came home and got busy finishing my orders that had to go out....and then,
the project began....
you see....a few weeks ago I had found the most gorgeous fluffy white towels at an outlet sale... 
Being pure white, they didn't match my bathroom...but I was not passing them up, they were marked down to $2.50 each...I brought home 10 and stashed them away in the attic...ya know, for a rainy day. And guess what? It rained alot this week.
So while the cat was away....I did play.
Here's my bathroom before I began... 
it was very 'boudoir'...and very red.... 
It's been like this for about eight years. And eight years ago I loved this look, I really did...but now...not so much.
Here's what I had been dreaming of for at least a year...my little 'inspiration file' that Mike had no clue existed....
I had just 2.5 days to pull this off...the only thing I had to start with was my new towels and I had to be as thrifty as possible (so I wouldn't get in big trouble when he got back! lol!)
think I could do it? Stay tuned!

So sneaky Paula and I love it! I can't wait to see what you come up with. Have fun!!

Oooh, you tease, Paula! : ) Although I think you planned this very well. I, myself, always take advantage of hubby business trips to do something, too! I love your inspiration pictures and I can't wait to see it.
Good luck..he will love it! :D
Oh boy Paula, I can't wait to see what you did! I really love that silver looking picture on the wall, I hope you kept it:) That's so funny that you get up to all these things when your hubby goes away!!! Mine doesn't travel for business but I get up to enough just when he's at work for the day, he always looks around when he gets home to see what's changed:)
If anyone can do it you can Paula! Loving all your inspiration pictures!
lol.. you must be newlyweds? I've been married going on 29 years... my hubster just smiles and says, "Looks nice" no matter what I do, or how much it costs. lol
I can't wait to see it. "Spa" colors and feel are on the horizon.....
Hahahaha! I just giggled as I read your post, Paula, because I do the exact same thing when my hubby goes away! lol! Looking forward to your reveal....! I know it'll be beautiful! :)

Hi Paula, I am looking forward to your reveal. My husband really dislikes painting. As long as I do all the painting he is just fine with any color.
Hugs,
Sherry
Ohhhhhhhhhh I KNOW you can do it! I can't wait to peek!
I am off to catch up on your Blog now to see what I missed while I was in CA!
Love,
LuLu~*xoxo
OMG that's hilarious! Our ensuite is the same red and I think I too will have to revamp it when my man goes away in September. Good luck!

Oh Hurry, hurry! Amazing what a fluffy white towel will do! How paint did it take to cover the red? Can't wait, and I may start my own!
Hugs and kisses,
Lisa
Okay, Paula, I'm reading this post 4 days after you wrote it. So . . . how far did you get? I'm dying to see. Oh, and, I loved your bathroom before, but your inspiration pics are gorgeous and I'm sure the redo will be equally fantastic!
