Finally…after almost three months my bathroom is done. I am so happy to have that room finished. This has been one of our hardest re models.  I don’t know if it was because it was the start of school, or it was being up rooted and having my things in all different places in the house.  I also know that I don’t deal well with messes, and this was a mess for quite a while. Anyway….here is the before… And here is the finished bathroom. I took a lot of different pictures. It is hard to photograph the room because of the orientation.  I love how it turned out…very calming…

It has been forever since I have started this bathroom re model. About two months to be exact. I think this has been one of our toughest renovations we have ever done. I don’t know why, maybe it was the time of year we started, or living out of the girl’s bathroom was not the funnest. Either way, it is so close to be finished. We are using it…all of it! Yay. Before I started this project, I wanted to find an old dresser or something I could use for the vanity. As we looked, we just found there was nothing out there that would fit or work. I decided…

We’ve been working on the back splash and shower tile this past weekend and I couldn’t be more excited about how it is turning out. I am going pretty classic by using white subway tile on the shower, and accenting it with three stripes of  fabulous gray concrete accent tile we found. I also found a smaller subway tile for the backslash over the sink.  I also spent the first day of school (for my kids) painting my vanity. I chose a charcoal gray color to help ground the room. Painting cabinets and furniture is my favorite thing to do since it is such a fun fast update to any…

Yay my walls are painted and I love the color! It is a soft gray tone with a touch of blue in it. I spent the day last week painting my wainscoting white, and I love the contrast of the two colors. I love trim, and I love it painted white. Just plain, clean white. The white I always use is ultra white from Behr right off the shelf, in a satin finish.  I find for myself that if the white is more of an off white, it tends to look dirty to me. We picked two medicine cabinets in an oil rubbed finish for above our sinks. I am…

We are making progress! We took out the tub and installed wainscoting on the wall. Instead of having a jetted tub, we decided to go with a free standing claw foot tub. I love adding touches like wainscoting to a room. It makes the home feel like it has some extra character and history. I also painted some color samples on the wall. The color I am going with is the lighter gray blue. Silver sage from Restoration Hardware. I think it is going to pop against the white color underneath. I always get samples of the colors I want to paint and paint some on the wall. I live…

I am so so excited. I am moving on to the next project! We have officially started our master bathroom. Things are cleared out, colors are picked, and I am ready to get to work. Can’t wait to show the progress!
