Bathroom Talk

Bathrooms come in all different shapes, sizes and colors. Some have soothing tubs and tile walls, or walk in showers and large vanities. Wood floors, Tile floors, you name it - it's been done. Bathroom renovations are very popular and while it may seem the easiest {since they're usually the smaller of the rooms in the house..} plumbing and waterproofing can be quite the DIY nightmare. BUT {you have to expect the 'but'} if they're done right... Bathrooms can be the most calming, pretty place in the house. In my opinion at least!

Speaking of colors, shapes and sizes - Check out these captivating Black and White bathrooms. I can't stop swooning over these five in particular! They're so striking I just want to take a bubble bath!

Moodboard Monday

It's Monday and you know what that means! It's time for a moodboard - This past weekend I went to Maryland to visit some college friends and attend one of our best friends Baby Shower!! It was so much fun and great to see and spend time with everyone {especially the momma to be!} Remember this amazing bathroom transformation? That's her! They will be welcoming a beautiful baby boy into the world in just a few short months! It was so exciting to be a part of such a wonderful shower.

As for the navy and orange - these are the colors of their nursery!! Navy is such a popular and widely used color right now but the orange added the perfect pop of bright color to the space! I felt as if it was a perfect fit for today's moodboard! I hope you enjoy this little preview of inspiration!

Here's a little group shot from the shower! Happy Monday!!

Renovation Revealed: Neutral Bathroom

Happy Valentines Day Everyone!!

First thing's first - did everyone enjoy their snow days the past couple of days? Here in North Carolina everything has been completely shut down and we've been snowed in. I guess our little groundhog friend is to blame for that one. Thanks Phil. Being from the woods of Massachusetts I'm used to mass amounts of snow but unlike the north, no one knows how to deal with it down here and I'd rather just stay inside.

Today I have a treat for everyone. I know I get excited about all of my posts but this one I'm especially excited for. Remember my post a while back about Front Door Decor where I was put to work helping some of my friends renovate their bathroom all the way in Ohio. Well, I'm happy to say that the wait is over and they LOVE their new bathroom! 

The Package:

Not only did I include a full budget and shopping list for them, but I also included images, paint samples, and renderings of the final product to really show them what their bathroom could look like! 

Note: I really wanted to point my friends [& now clients] in the right direction so I told them that they did not need to feel pressured to use everything exactly as I have presented it to them! They made a few small changes that worked for them, but they said they never would have gotten this great of a result without this as a guide! I'm so happy I could help them!

Here are some before and after photos of their renovation:

They are working on getting shades installed in the window but as you can see the end result is such an amazing transformation! They painted the cabinet doors on that built in cabinet to make it stand out and look more custom. And can we talk about that mirror?? The mirror was already purchased and when I saw it I knew it was going to be beautiful as a focal point in the bathroom! Hobby Lobby never disappoints!

What are your thoughts on this budget friendly bathroom renovation?
