Updated Master Bathroom

Sunday, April 12, 2015

I hope y'all had a good weekend!  We certainly did!  My weekend started off with a Friday Fun Day with coworkers at Frankie's Fun Park, then yard work on Saturday and a park play date this morning followed by having over friends for dinner tonight. Amongst all of that I finally took some photos of our bathroom now that the majority of the updates have been completed.

Here's a before shot where I was using painters tape to test out sizes of mirrors.

Before:                                                       After:

 


After:




We still need new lights, but I still haven't found any that I love for under $150 each.  Our bathtub surround isn't pink!  That's just the reflection of my hot pink yoga pants.



It's amazing the difference that a little paint & new crown molding make.  And swapping out the builder towel hooks helped immensely too! All of the bathroom accessories including the towels, Capiz shell accessories (soap dispenser, cup & tray), q-tip holder, and orchid are from HomeGoods. The mirrors are from Kirkland's.

Before: 

Here's a tip, store your bathtub necessities in a bamboo wine bottle holder to keep everything tidy. I also use a daily shower spray (which you can see hanging from the shower below) and a squeegee after every shower. 


Even though the bathroom isn't completely finished, it still makes me happy every time I am in there. That's what's important right?  Our homes should feel like us.  It's ok for some rooms or all rooms to be a work in progress.  I mean, if our whole house and yard was completely finished then I would be bored! Ha!  We would have to move.  I haven't read Melissa's book from The Inspired Room, "Love the Home You Have" but I feel like our mini-makeover was just enough to make me love our bathroom.  



Bathroom Lighting

Monday, February 16, 2015

Hey ya'll!  It's snowing here in Raleigh!  Just a tiny bit so far, but school has already been cancelled for tomorrow.

The crown molding is up in our Master Bath!

And we purchased mirrors! Can you tell that I am excited?!? Thank you to everyone who commented on the blog and my Facebook page.  If you follow me on Instagram then you already know which one we picked...none that were shown!

I loved this mirror from ZGallerie, but not the price tag.


And I needed two!  That was over my budget for the entire bathroom redo. We headed to Kirkland's to pick up one of the mirrors in the mock up below (the lower left one).



Luckily, I found a look for less option at Kirkland's. And they were on sale for $38!  And we had a coupon!  



This picture is awful, so check out my Instagram for a better one.


While on the Zgallerie site I found these lovelies on sale:


Back to the bathroom, we ordered these lights from Lowe's.

Now we just have to paint, install mirrors, install lights, hang new towel bars and we will be done. If only it were that easy.

Stay warm and cozy!




Spa Master Bath-Mirror Decisions

Sunday, February 8, 2015

Hey guys!  I hope you are having a great weekend so far.  We had a blast today at two different birthday parties.

I am trying to finalize my plans and my budget for our Master Bathroom update.  You may recall that it is builder boring with the original antique white paint on the walls.  I posted a design board here if you want to check it out. It doesn't need much, just a little sprucing up.  I think new mirrors, vanity lights, chandelier, paint and crown molding, and window treatments will do the trick.


I mocked up my top mirror choices and would love your opinion.  I am leaning towards one in particular.  Which one is your favorite?

Spa like Master Bath

Now that we are almost done with the boys' bedroom, my next project will be a mini update on the Master Bathroom.  The images shown of the bathroom were taken at the model house, our bathroom currently has no window treatment, is painted boring builder ivory and has no style.
