Master Bathroom



Hi Everyone,
How are you all doing?
Things have been a little stressful around here lately.
With the end of the school year coming soon, the kids
have a lot of end of year programs and projects to get done.
I'm always torn between how much I should help them
 or should they do it all on their own. 
 Do you know what I mean?

Anyway, I would like to show you our master bathroom today.
When we moved here this was actually a bedroom/office right next
 to the master bedroom so we turned it into our master bath.

I've really been gravitating more to kind of a french farmhouse
 style lately.  I recently changed out the mirrors to these that I
found on clearance for $17.50 each!  





This little box with the baskets is a thrift store find.
I painted it and added the porcelain knob.

I didn't take a before picture but this is the bottom
of it which gives you an idea of what it looked like.
It must have been from Pier 1 Imports originally.
I paid $5.00 for it.

I made this little towel hook from a left
over piece of molding and just painted it
with a dry brush technique using leftover paint.

I know this is not a big deal to most of you 
with all of the amazing things you make and transform
but this was my first time making something like this
so I'm kind of proud of myself for at least trying!
This is one of the things that has been so wonderful
for me about finding all of your great blogs - 
I have gotten so many ideas and inspiration and now
I look at things a lot differently.
  When I see things at thrift stores or yard sales
my mind starts coming up with ideas of how I could
use it or change it to fit into my home.  Or I wonder what all of
you talented ladies in blogland would do with it!
Or I try to think of how I could make it myself or adapt
something we already have.
You have really changed the way I see things and I want to
 send out a big thank you to all of you for that!!


Here's a little glimpse into the you know what part of
the bathroom.











This is just another place to hang towels and such
on the wall behind the door.

So that's it for the bathroom.  I'm so glad you came by. 
 I know it's hard with so many places to visit and so little time
but I would love to hear from you if you have a chance!

    The box with baskets is such a cute idea and I love the color of the walls.

    I wish our shower was the size of yours.

    Great job!

Blue Kitchen Cabinets 2017

I have done a couple posts on kitchens with blue cabinetry in the past, after all it is my favorite color. It has been awhile though, so today I have rounded up some more  amazing kitchens with cottage style that also incorporate blue in  the design. source The kitchen above and the one below have white upper cabinets and soft shades of blue on the lower ones. This is a nice way to use blue without going overboard or ending up with something that you would get tired of quickly. source source Finding the right shade of blue would be key and using a lot of white and wood tones along with it creates a beautiful and timeless look. source source Isn't the kitchen above just so very unique? It has sort of a french country feeling but in an updated way. Wish there was a better picture of the script that's on the wall  on the right. source This kitchen is from Remodelondo la Casa and I've always thought the w

Family Room Reveal

Hello Everyone! I've been meaning to post about our updated family room for a very long time and I'm  finally doing it - yeah!! I had been ready to replace our brown leather furniture for a while and when a new Ikea opened very close to us last summer, I jumped at the chance to take a good look at their slipcovered furniture. Originally the plan was to buy another sofa and loveseat like we had but when I  saw the Ektorp sectional on the showroom floor at Ikea, I was sold.   It just seemed so cozy and I could really envision it in our family room. As you can see, we purchased the sectional with the white slipcover. You just can't beat the prices at Ikea and the quality is definitely good enough for us. I'm at a point where I don't want to buy expensive furniture that I feel like I have to keep forever.   We even had the sofa delivered and they took away the old sofa and loveseat  for a very small fee. We purchased this dre

AFFORDABLE WALL DECOR

Hi Everyone, One of the things I find the most difficult about decorating is finding wall decor that I like and is also affordable. That is one of the main things that I am always on the hunt for and sometimes I have to come up with some creative ideas. Just yesterday, I found this beautiful image of a  white hydrangea at The Graphics Fairy . The Graphics Fairy I printed it out in a size that would fit in a frame that  I already had.  I think it looks so pretty in the simple white frame. I'm probably going to hang it in our bedroom. I'm making a few small changes in there and I will show you when it's completed. This star is actually from the garden section of our local Meijer store.  It was originally silver metal and I spray painted it white. I have seen a lot of people decorate with bread boards. This one fit perfectly in the narrow space between my  cabinet and window and I love the warmth of the wood.  I love th
