A Change of Plans
The bathroom is further along, but I’m afraid I’ve deviated a bit from the original plan!
I hated the lights above the medicine cabinet, so I bought a new fixture for $30 from Lowes. We had to take the cabinet down to install the new light, and then realized that we couldn’t put it back […]
Oops, Wrong Color.
I painted the bathroom a few days ago. It looks much more blue than I thought it would. Oops.
Here’s what the bathroom looks like so far…
That’s “Antiguan Sky” from Benjamin Moore. It’s a pretty blue/green color that I pulled from the shower curtain, but it’s much brighter than I was expecting. […]
Elsewhere: Julieta’s Kitchen
Julieta asked how I would finish her (already lovely) kitchen in the comments of my last post. I do already have an idea of her style because we’ve been working on a web project together over at Smart & Lovely, and hey – I was up for a fun distraction.
She’s already transformed her bland, […]
Bigger Than a Breadbox?
No, exactly the same size! Ba dum bum.
There was a breadbox in the kitchen at the family lake house, and I really liked it. When we returned home, I started searching on eBay for something similar. I lost the first one that I bid on (it ended up going for $125!), but […]
A Mustard Pot?
A few years ago, my mother-in-law (thanks, Helen!) gave me a little stainless steel set that I believe was her mother’s. It had a little tray with salt and pepper shakers, and a sugar bowl. Well, I thought it was a sugar bowl.
I was cleaning it today, and I decided to google the […]
2 or 6?
I think I’m down to two options for the bathroom redo: #2 and #6.
#2
#6
I actually like the Zinnia Shower Curtain more than the Graphic Fabric Shower Curtain, but I think the latter works better in my bathroom.
Have I mentioned that I’m not a big fan of blue? Well, I’m not. I don’t hate […]
It’s Magical.
Sorry, this is totally random. I’ve been looking for gel pens, and I came across this description:
Its sleek, white color makes it the unicorn of gel pens.
Wow! Really? How can one pass up a pen like that?
Bathroom Redo (Renderings)
Thank you everyone for your feedback! I’ve narrowed the choices down to just two: the Zinnia Shower Curtain and the Graphic Fabric Shower Curtain.
I’ve made some mock-ups in Photoshop, and you can view larger versions of everything on flickr. Oh, and it may be hard to tell – that’s dark brown (not black) […]
