For the last several months, I have been struggling with feelings of unhappiness towards our house (even though I know what we have should suit us nicely). I grew borderline obsessed with checking Redfin for houses in our area, but the prices are so steep it just doesn’t make sense for us to move. We talked it out and decided to see what kind of updates we could make to help me move through/past these feelings and the first option was to split out our home office.

There was recently a cat, shelf, toilet incident in one of the bathrooms in my house.  An unnamed individual was using the toilet when a fluffy orange cat decided it was a good idea to jump from the counter onto the top shelf above this person.  The person quickly moved out of the way after seeing the cat land poorly to avoid being scratched to death as the cat fell off the shelf (and thankfully landed on the toilet tank).  Unfortunately, part of the pile of washcloths from the top shelf fell with the cat and landed directly in the (used) bowl.  Eew.  Pog's need to climb and sit on these shelves while in the bathroom has been a concern for a while, especially since they are glass and not meant to hold cats.  Unfortunately, this incident was the last straw and I decided the shelves had to go.  I knew that they would leave holes in the walls, so I needed to select new bathroom art to cover the holes.  I also really disliked the striped walls and decided it the perfect opportunity to paint over them.
