Boys Bathroom Reveal

Yesterday was a great day. The boys bathroom got finished. The guys from United Homeworks were awesome as usual! I designed this bathroom but few changes here and there were necessary to avoid other problems. I will not get into the details but it all worked out in the end

Here are the before photos:

Standard bathtub and shower. Tub never used.

This was really the only storage in the bathroom aside from a wall cabinet from Ikea

Eeeeew...Old and gross

Slamming the toilet seat again and again does break it! Right boys?

I got to work and ordered everything from Lowe's. I knew exactly what I wanted for the bathroom so it wasn't really difficult to pick and choose. I didn't want to spend a bunch of $$ for a kids bathroom, I just wanted to upgrade it

All the stuff arrived and filled up half the garage

And... bathroom was gutted...That is when I started to get a little nervous. 

 No need for worries....

Here are the after photos:

The whole bathroom ended costing us a little more than we intended to spend due to some measurement errors on my part...So we have an extra shower and extra elongated toilet on our hands. Needless to say it will all be to good use in the master bathroom...another accidental project!

Project #2 is bound to start in hoperfully few minutes...

Yeeeehaahh the fun never ends!

Lavender

I LOVE LAVENDER

It's planted all over my yard so if the wind hits me the right way I can smell it. 

I love how it looks too.

 I took the boys school shopping this afternoon at the Natick Collection and as we walked by the store L'occitane the smell hit me. 

The next thing I remember I was holding 2 bouquets of dried Lavender in one hand and a credit card in the other. The rest is history. My nose has a mind of it's own!

Can you smell it?

Boys Bathroom

We are renovating the boys bathroom. The project started sort of in May, ordering new appliances, shower, cabinets...picking tiles out. It's been a long road between things being on backorder, missing or broken pieces. Anyhow...things are rolling and the workers are on a deadline from me. Here is a before picture and when the bathroom is completely finished I will post pictures for you to see the full reveal!

FYI....the Aqua color on the walls were a part of an Ocean theme I had going on in there when the kids were little. Over the years we toned it down a little bit but I was always too lazy to paint the walls over.

Well let's just say I was busy with other things :-)

Look forward to the reveal- Deadline is August 30th!

Two Chairs Meet One Old Bench

I have been an owner of this bench for many many years. It's an old Amish Bench I found in the trash at neighbors house when I lived in Pennsylvania. It was currently in the garage and served no purpose. I painted it white few months ago and moved it outside on the veranda. It just stood there...kinda lonely. When Cindy gave me the 2 chairs last week it made perfect sense that I'd introduce the chairs to the bench...so I did!

Annie Sloan Paris Grey, 2 coats and lightly sanded. I decided to be adventurous and ironed on a picture from the Graphics Fairy www.graphicsfairy.blogspot.com

Yep...with my iron! I was careful with it and placed a towel over the image but the paint still bubbled a a bit but it came out nice and rustic.

Before

And...After!

Look how pretty! It's not super comfy so I will probably just use it as a table 

I had these pillows from Pier One that fit perfectly on the chairs

Bella approves!

Target has these lil buckets for sale for a $1

#22 my lucky number!

The bistro table and a chair got a cover of Paris Grey also.

 I think we are in good shape for a Garden Party! 

Thanks for visiting
