Bathroom Update

So the bathroom is still slowly coming along. You can see my previous posts here, I started with the One Room Challenge and I am not quiet done yet!

We were still on hold for a while because we were waiting for our faucet, now that the faucet is here we are now waiting for the counter tops to go in! But it is getting closer to actually being able to begin using it which is super exciting!

TNPLH: Tile Shower Progress

We finally have all the tile done and grouted. The top of the half wall will have marble to match the vanity. After consulting my sister (architect) she recommended a solid piece to match so there wouldn’t be any seems.

TNPLH: Bright Bathroom Vanity!

And my lovley vanity has been in for a couple weeks – just waiting for the counter top so we can begin using! I am just in love with the color. And currently contemplating wallpapers…..what do you think? Keep the walls white or add some spice with wallpaper?

Flowering Branches in Ginger Jars

So my big 30th party is this weekend and I can’t keep my mind off of every last detail for my 32 person sit down dinner party. Some last minute inspiration just popped up on my instagram feed. My flower guy is dropping off flowering branches. I wanted peonies (because we all love them), but since it has still be rather cold around here the price of peonies is still a little high so I am going with flowering branches from him filled in with some grocery store flowers. Wouldn’t’ it be fun to put them in a big ginger jar! duh!

Love the sophisticated pallet here – and the fig leaf trees – I still need one!

Love the console with the two ottomans perched underneath. It adds a nice layer in the house but is also very practical. I am looking to do this under my TV in my living room!

Drapes in the Bathroom

So we continue to work on our bathroom, that we started in the One Room Challenge (see the most updated post here). My faucet finally came over the weekend so I am now able to get the counter tops measured for installation. All the tile is done, grouted. All the walls are now patched up and mudded. I also have some fun wallpaper samples that have been ordered. It is slowly coming together but it will be worth it when it is done!

As we finish up all these fixes, I have now have decor on my mind. Mainly what to do with the big window in the space. I’m kinda digging the idea of drapes. It feels like it makes a bathroom super cozy.
