Guest Bathroom Reveal (Finally)

It's done!!!!   It's only been like a year since it started.  I think it's my new favorite room.  What do you think?

We added the bead board around the room and the insets for some storage.  It's not actual bead board but sheets of bead board from Lowes.  Much easier to work with.

 

And just to recap, here's what the bathroom looked like when we moved in.  Ga-ross.  I'm not sure what was happening in here but none of it was good.

And now.  Ah, much better.

 

I know the pink isn't for everyone.  I didn't think it was for me either, but I really love it now.  I've been wanting to add some pink somewhere.  Granted, I didn't picture this bold of a shade but that's neither here nor there. 



So here are the deets:

-Vanity from Lowes

-Lighting from Shades of Light

-Mirror from?- Can't remember but it was cheap.  I remember that.

-Fabric from Calico, but it's discontinued.  It's called Llyta Canovas.

-Tile from The Tile Shop

-City aerial print from Etsy seller JennaSue Cityscapes

-Paint is BM Pink Raspberry

-Wallpaper-Schumacher Zimba in chartreuse.  Had some left over from the bedroom.  I couldn't resist, I just love it so much.

-Everything else came from either Home Goods, TJ Maxx, or Marshalls.  Oh how I love those places!

 

All I have left to do in the bedroom is sew some pillows and add a couple of accessories and that room is done as well.  I'm hoping to get that done in the next week or so but something always seems to come up so I'm not going to stress myself out trying to meet a deadline.  It's sooo close though...

And I'm Back

That was a long hiatus, I know.  What can I say?  Some serious shit went down and I had to get my act together and prioritize.  That's the short version and I won't bore anyone with the long one.  Anyway, someone commented that they wanted me to come back to see how it all turned out.  Ha! I wish it were all done but there has been some progress that I can report.  The third floor bedroom and bath that was started eons ago is just about finished, and just in time for a very special Thanksgiving guest.  I'll be done with the bathroom for sure this weekend and will put pics up for Monday.  For now here's what I worked on this past weekend.

This little cafe curtain took me almost all day.  It really wasn't that difficult, but it took me a long time to figure out how the sewing machine worked.  Yes, I have a machine but I don't technically sew...at least not until a few days ago.  I'm proof that anyone can do this.  I'll talk about it a bit more in depth later, but just wanted to share a quick update.  Oh, and I left the bathroom pink (duh, it's in the picture) and I'm so happy that I did.  I wasn't sure about it at first, but I love it so much I wish it were my bathroom and not the guest bath.  My husband may disagree with that statement, but even he really loves how the bathroom is looking.  I think that's really saying something;)

What Do You Think?

I painted the bathroom the Pink Raspberry.  I don't know folks.  It kinda glows.   And, if my friend Ken is reading this...shut it!

Ignore the patch that I didn't paint and look at the lights.  They aren't pink, but they sure look like they are.  It definitely casts a pink color on everything in the room.  I was going to repaint it (and I still may), but I'm going to put some sort of window treatment up and a mirror/art (and finish painting-Ha) and see how I feel.  I really hate painting and am not really looking forward to doing it a third time.  Sigh.

And here's how the room is shaping up.

Got the carpet which was pretty cheap and looks fantastic.  And here's a peeky poo at how it's coming together. Yep, I said peeky poo.  

I'd love to put this in front of the bed.

Super cute from Pier 1, but a bit more money than I want to spend.  Maybe it will go on sale?  

Anyway, I'm taking a bit of time off for the 4th and the week after, but I hope to have the room wrapped up shortly thereafter.  All I have left is...

-bust out sewing machine to make curtains for bathroom window and pillows for room

-find art for room

-find alternative to Pier 1 loveseat or have sudden windfall of money 

-find way to tone down glowing pink walls 

I think that's it.  I hope everyone has a happy and safe 4th of July!  Oh, and I added a bloglovin' thingy so hopefully it won't be crickets and tumbleweeds from now on:)

Which Would You Choose?

So I mentioned that I'm not in love with the guest bath color.  It's not bad in photos, but trust me, it's neon green and not good.  And, it doesn't play well with the wallpaper.  So here are the new choices.

Go bold or go home, right?  I'm leaning toward the Pink Raspberry.  Anyone want to change my mind?

Wallpaper. Guest Room. Bam!

Ok, so I've been on a bit of a hiatus lately.  What can I say?  I just didn't have anything that interesting to share.  That and I've been super busy living life.  Truthfully, my husband has been traveling a lot leaving me with my little nuggets to care for and I'm a horrible multitasker.  That being said, I finally got something done this weekend and it's a biggie...for me at least.  

Yep, finally put up the wallpaper.  Oh, and never again.  From now on I'm saving my pennies and hiring it out.  What a giant pain in the you know what, and this was only one wall!  Granted I did save a lot of money doing it myself, and by myself I mean having my friend do most of the work since I had no idea what I was doing. 

Next step is getting the bathroom finished up so that carpet can go in the bedroom.  I know carpet isn't in vogue, but it's the third floor, the floors aren't in great shape, and it's right above our bedroom.  Uh-huh, carpet it is.  Here's a peek at the bathroom.  I know what you're thinking.  What's up with the neon green walls? Let's just say, great in theory, terrible in reality.  I wanted to wait to see if maybe when it all came together...nope.  I'm going to have to do something about it, but I'm just not sure what yet.  

Stay tuned.

Shared Big Girl Room And Nursery Reveal

I know it sounds strange to have a big girl room and nursery combined.  That's how we roll.  Seriously, that room is way too big for one kid.  I think it's actually the nicest bedroom in the house!  Now don't go thinking that the room will always look like this.  This is the neatest the room will ever be so I just had to document it on film.  Somewhere, off camera, there is a hunormous (ha, that's what my four year old says) amount of stuffed animals and toys that will be swinging from the chandelier in the near future.  

The ceiling on the second floor is 10 ft.  That's a lot of fabric.  Luckily, the fabric I chose was $7.50 a yard.  What?  Yep!  Eventually I want to put a chair in that corner.  I just couldn't find one I loved.

I couldn't find the knobs for the nightstand.  Oops.  They're hiding somewhere.

I'm so thrilled to have this room done.  It feels like I've been working on it for months on end.  Oh wait, I have.  In case anyone is curious I'll tell you where everything came from.

-The bedroom furniture was from a couple of consignment stores with the exception of the Ikea Hemnes armoire and the changing "table" which was something I had laying around collecting dust.  All the furniture was painted.

-The walls are BM White Dove and the trim is BM White.

-The fireplace art is wrapping paper I purchased at Paper Mojo (http://www.papermojo.com/)

-The ottomans and the fireplace screen were purchased through One Kings Lane (I think.  Or it may have been Joss & Main).  I've seen the ottomans on the site several times since I purchased them.

-Yellow lamp is from Target and the little white one is from Home Goods.

-The fabric was purchased at Carousel Designs (http://www.babybedding.com/)

-The pennant banner was made by me:)

-The poms and the art over the changing table are from Etsy.  The "Keep Calm and Sleep Through The Night" I custom ordered.  (http://www.etsy.com/shop/dekanimal, http://www.etsy.com/shop/Gingiber, http://www.etsy.com/shop/ExpressPoms, http://www.etsy.com/shop/PaperfulPress, http://www.etsy.com/shop/UrbanDesignInk, http://www.etsy.com/shop/JollyJulesDesigns

-Bedding from Pottery Barn

-Crib from Amazon

-I found the chandelier from an antique store

-Mirrors from Walmart spray painted

-Polka Dot roller shades from Smith & Noble

So that's it I think.  Another room down, several to go....
