BATHROOM RENOVATION

Y'all I had the most relaxing weekend....up at Lake Burton with friends!

Just 48 hours but damn I needed it......Saturday it rained ALL day.  I never got out of my jammies [taking a shower and putting them back on ha ha]

I looked at design magazines, got on Pinterest....it was wonderful.

We drank and laughed...so good for the soul right?

As you can see by 6:30 I only had this many steps!

Monday was tough.

As I mentioned.....I am in the middle of 2 bath renovations.

#1 before  

Scary huh?  

Here is the plan.  Take out the tub and make it a shower.  After it was gutted we managed to find 12" to make the ceilings 9 ft.  That was a miracle!

Painting the vanity one of my favorites.....navy.

Here is the tile from Renaissance Tile. 

Bathroom #2 [before] is directly across the hall.

We are taking out the wall separating the tub/toilet  with the vanity.

Adding a window for some much needed light!  After I made this board I went out on a limb and proposed that the vanity be painted SW Tidewater.  

Cement Tile from Renaissance Tile

And they went with it!  Whoop.  I'm pretty stoked about that.

I still have to pick out hardware and accessories....

Back to me......the other day I was at my favorite consignment store Swoox and picked up this art by Joe Adams

It was supposed to be for a client but I got greedy and kept it for myself:)

That is the bad part of shopping for other people right?

That prompted me to take a few other shots around mi casa.

When I was at Market a few weeks ago I was looking at the gorgeous fixture from Circa Lighting.  The guy said to send him a picture of my DR and he would show me what it would look like!

Existing fixture is the Darlana Pendant 

Cristol Tiered Chandelier

But then the thought of explaining to my husband why I purchased a new DR light brought me back to reality.

Because when I mentioned that I was going to renovate the master bath in the near future..... it sent him spiraling.....crikey.

Oh well.....it's still gonna happen:)

PROJECT UPDATES

So glad you enjoyed Kelly's home....I was afraid that the shots were so small you might not see the goodness but y'all are amazing with your vision:)

Yes.... that black sisal is all I can think of.  I found some area rugs on Overstock.

But first you have to paint your floors white.....oh wait....I have white floors:)  Hee Haw

Now I just need some stairs.....

I went to my curtain install and fortunately my measuring skills were on point.

This office is painted BM Hale Navy.

The Hudson Valley Gaines light fixture is perfect for this space.

We ordered this Hooker Desk

And this rug.....

Which looks more gray than it really is as you will see.

For the curtains I just used a light gray/taupe linen with a navy tape down the sides.

Black iron hardware.....

The rug.

He had these chairs which were perfect for this space.

It's coming together nicely....just needs some accessories and a large piece of art behind the desk.

We are still working on this room but I love the deep rich colors....SW Urbane Bronze

You remember this.....

Circa Lighting Ralph Lauren light fixture! Thibaut textured wallpaper.

Arteriors leather ottoman

Still need a sofa.....this design business takes time!

In the basement I installed the pillows after the sectional came....

Still looking for barstools....

Gorgeous Charles Stewart sectional covered in Crypton fabric.

Waiting for the large leather ottoman and a few other accessories before this space is finished!

The other night I had dinner with friends.  They cooked a mean southern meal and added fried chicken from Publix.  Somehow the topic circled around to Publix chicken tenders and I was in shock.

Everyone at the table was ranting and raving about them and I was like HUH?  

I mean they are just fried tenders...isn't that what 6 year olds eat for dinner?  They set me right and I went the next day because if the topic comes around again I wanna be in the know.

I'm not going to confess how many I ate.....But let's say I might add them to my already prepared food rotation.

Holiday Weekends are all that.
