And here we go –

to start with – the tile! sigh. It matches the entry landing, the basement landing and the basement bathroom. It is so awesome to walk through the house and feel that kind of consistency.

don’t worry – that side edge of the vanity below has since been cleaned up.

So bright- squinty.

The paint is up, the trim is in, the vanity is in (so gorgeous and shiny white). I also decided to go with a vintage-y looking mirror to contrast the ultra sleek vanity.

Have a great day Peeps!

Guest Bathroom Plan

December 19, 2016December 19, 2016 / Winnie / 5 Comments

We are not done with the basement bathroom and I am already anxious to move onto the Guest bathroom. I know…. The only thing that has changed about this bathroom since we moved in, is the paint color and the art.

I went shopping at Ikea in 2013. Yes, you read that right. I purchased my vanity and faucet for the guest bathroom in 2013. I love what I picked out and am still very excited for the changes to come in that room.

I am now pulling together all of images of bathrooms that I have been saving since 2013. I would like to narrow down my paint colors. The entire vanity, toilet and shower will be white…..so some color will be a nice addition.

Any preferences? I am leaning towards the 1st and 3rd blue.

Chalkboards all over this house

January 20, 2015 / Winnie / Leave a comment

I always like reading the graffiti in public toilet stalls…secretly of course…cause writing on stalls is not kosher. There is usually something that makes me laugh. I was thinking that I should create something for my bathroom that would give me the same ha-ha laugh. Without the graffiti guilt.

I took a piece of flat wood that was apart of the old vanity that we demo’d from our master bathroom and covered it in chalkboard contact paper.

There were some bubbles that needed to be smoothed out.

Dave helped out by making my 2 sided frame.

I sanded and poly’d to protect the wood.

Oh My Gosh….have I enjoyed having this. The girls leave me notes, visiting friends have taken advantage and I laugh every-time I see something new. (the most popular items are Doctor Who quotes)

The bathroom chalkboard inspired the girls so much that they were spending time in the bathroom just to draw, so I purchased each of them a chalkboard for their rooms.
