#motherdaughterorc Week 2

Hello. My name is Marcie.

I am a list maker.

I make lists for everything.
When I'm on a big project ( like groceries for more than the next meal) I go around talking about my"comprehensive list."  :)

I add things to my lists just so that I can cross them off.

#crazylistmaker
Oh yeah, I prefer to write my lists with Sharpies.
No erasing in my list making world!

So this week is all about the list and what I can cross off!!

1. Paint the (currently yellow) ceiling. Mollie has chosen the soft turquoise color from the fabrics 

We are  going with Sherwin Williams Drizzle at 50%.  (Started, not finished, but delicious color!!)

2. Purchase shower curtain fabric. Priced it all over town -best price is just around the corner. Score!!!

3."Fix" the mirror cabinet over the toilet. Sand, paint, whatever it's going to take. Covering it is out because it is strategically located across from the over sink mirror and greatly aids Mollie in doing her hair. We want pretty but bathrooms must be functional. (Sanding. More sanding and more sanding!) 

(I forgot it was pink inside - from another time period than the lime green one!)

4. Decide on over sink lighting. (Ran all over downtown Atlanta but success!!! A sale, a coupon and the dangly fixtures I dreamed of are ours for such a ridiculous price. I cannot wait to share them!!)

5. Look for towel bars. The ones she has in there are old, were cheapies to start and are literally falling apart. We've kept them hanging around as long as we could. It's time to let them go. They will be leaving with the 80's light fixture :)  (I've looked but Molls is rolling into town for a big wedding and we can look together. She gets to choose!)

6. Window treatments. Both are small so we can do something fantastic with literally 1 yard of fabric. Excellent.

7. Think about art and the gallery wall idea. (Another #motherdaughterorc discussion for this weekend. We've texted but we need facetime in that room so we can decide some things!)

8. Continue to run through all Goodwills and Thrift Stores in a 20 mile radius scanning for bamboo mirrors, blue and white, and bamboo shelves and any other fabulous find that might be the perfect touch for the #motherdaughterorc Boho Chinoiserie bathroom. (I have not found mirrors but OH. MY. Goodness. I have found some awesome stuff this past week. I have had to leave good great stuff behind :( I have posted a few things on IG but some are yet to be revealed.) 

9. Begin to figure out what to do if the Thrifting Gods do not offer up a pair of bamboo mirrors ( It has happened to me before so I have hope!) (I'm looking but holding out hope... and the giant mirror that stretched across both vanities is down. In one piece. That sucker weighed a ton.) 

Now there's a lovely 'during' shot. Ouch. It's like something out of a horror movie.

10. Make a decision about floor and vanity paint. #toughone  (Hopefully Mollie has an  opinion on this!)

One of our challenges in this ORC is to work with what we have
(the things that are staying like the floor,etc.) 
 and love it at the end.
 (Truly, it can only get better. It was pretty bland before and while we can't just run out and buy every little detail we are wishing for, we are enjoying the process and doing it together!)

11. Oh, and stay focused and calm because while everyone calls it a 6 week challenge it's actually 5 working weeks with a reveal on the sixth posting day. I'm determined not to be in the same crazy place (remember Bupkis?)  halfway through as I was during the last ORC.

We have found a few things in the past week that we are excited to get creative with!
