Powder Room Facelift.

The previous owners apparently thought they wanted a bright sunny bathroom. Which maybe they loved and had it decorated all cute.

The site of it... almost gave me nightmares (OK slightly dramatic)

But I hated it! It wasn't a pretty shade of yellow. It was bright yellow...

Take a look for yourself.

Yes. Yellow.

The bathroom had the same honey oak trim and cabinetry that the rest of the house wears (which is not really my style)

So we decided since this was a small area this would be a good place to start. Start small.

So we painted the bathroom a grayish blue. and that immediately made a huge difference in itself.

So here is a break down of what we all did

Painted - $20

Framed out the mirror - $20

Re-caulked the sink {Free.. had on hand}

PaPainted the cabinet {Free... had on hand}

Added Hardware to the cabinet -$10
DIY Sea Fan Art - $25

We still need to change out the light fixture and paint the trim white.
But it is slowly getting there. Slowly. But it looks so much better.

 

And here is what our powder room looks like today

It is a tiny bathroom. So sorry for the not so great photos.

It is slowly getting there...

Mud Room/Laundry Room Inspiration

We are currently working on our Laundry room... It is located right off the entry from our garage door... so we are trying to convert it into a laundry room/mud room.

It is definitely a work in progress but I am hoping to have it completed by the end of the weekend.
The room is rather small. So I am trying to make the most out of such a small space. I think it will pay off in the end though (fingers crossed)
So since i have no updates on it.
I thought I would share with you some of my inspiration.

Hopefully mine turns out as great as some of these.... :)

I use to believe...

When I was little....

I use to believe... that when there was a thunderstorm, God was bowling

I use to believe... that when it rained,  My grandpa was in heaven crying because he missed me.

I use to believe... that if I swallowed watermelon seeds,  I would grow a watermelon in my belly.

I use to believe... that if I lied to my mom, My tongue would turn black.

I use to believe... that if a boy kissed you, You would get pregnant (Thanks Dad)

I use to believe... that if you didn't hold your breath going by the cemetery, Ghosts would be able to follow you home.

I use to believe... that Santa called my mom daily, To see if I was naughty or nice.

I use to believe... that my toys came to life when I was asleep.

I use to believe... that if I crossed my eyes long enough, they would get stuck that way

I use to believe... that heaven was a giant carousel in the clouds... where you could eat as much cotton candy as you wanted.
