i finally got around to posting these pics of my visit to the met.  the main event was the costume institute show, but i also enjoyed the irving penn exhibit.  (sorry the text under the picasso picture is so blurry.  i loved the story so much that i thought it was worth posting anyway).

don’t you hate it when blogs make you go through several before posts just to get to the final reveal?  sorry.  🙂

like most nyc bathrooms, mine is an interior so there is little natural light that filters through.  i am not a professional photographer but i did my best to try to take pictures of what it looks like now.  i didn’t try to style the shots, so this is more or less what it looks like on a daily basis.

the view from my bedroom

new frameless glass shower door

totally smitten by my new shower system.

recessed medicine cabinet with coordinating lights.

where my new bathroom floor meets the existing hardwood.

an admittedly cleaned up picture of the shower niche.

my new interior door handles.  you know that i am such a sucker for tactile feelings – i just love opening and closing doors now.

the bulk of the demolition was completed when i was in asia, so i don’t have great shots of everything stripped down to the studs.  i did take these mid progress shots however.  you can see the tile and tub were in, and they were about to insert the shower niche and medicine cabinet.

the closet interiors were refinished and extra storage shelves were added.

new closet doors going in.

after selling and donating a few more things from my closet, i was thrilled to add this mansur gavriel blush pink bucket bag to my collection.  it has been on my wishlist for some time, and has proven to be such an easy bag to use around the city.

for those of you interested in a bag in this color from the line, i will warn you that it picks up dirt very easily.  i have been wiping it down with nontoxic baby wipes and they have come right off.
