Dreaming of a Nursery

My husband and I found out this week that we are expecting a little boy . . we are so excited to have a new addition to our family.  I have had lots of time to think of what I would like to do with a nursery as the room has been mostly empty until the time for a baby.  Here is where my dreams have led me . . enjoy my inspiration board.  

Here is where I am currently on the room, getting it all prepped and primed.






This is the color palette I want to use grey, white, and blue:



I am having molding installed around the whole room similar to this photo:

Master Bedroom Update

When my husband and I got married we did a makeshift bedroom set with a homemade headboard and re purposed dressers.  It was time to get some furniture that would last and give our master retreat a new look.

Here is what it looked like before:




Here is what it looks like now:



Enjoy! Let me know if you have any questions on anything!  I forgot to add that I also got the velvet drapes from Pottery Barn.

Half Bath Revamp


My half bath was a small dark dungeon. . . Well I thought so.  I wanted to lighten the space up without having to paint it all over again.  I was inspired with the molding that I saw at a local Parade of Homes you can check out the home video here:




So with some inspiration I got to work:








The trick with spacing the molding was using a paint stick.  I left the back wall painted the brown because I wanted to spaces in the molding to pop.  I love how it turned out!  With all the finishing touches here is how it came out.  In addition adding the mirror and frames I previously made over!




I hope that you are inspired!  This project took me about 6 hours and total spent was $100.  Another project off the check list . . 

Enjoy!

Closet Revamp

When starting this project I thought I might have been crazy for repainting my entire closet . . but in the end I am so glad that I did!  Who says where you dress has to be ugly . . to be honest it makes me feel a little more beautiful!  Here is my messy, crowded, and small master closet:



BEFORE

The checklist:
  • Paint shelves and walls
  • Add wall trim with hooks
  • Add more shelves for shoes
  • Spray paint wood rods
  • Add numbers to baskets
  • organize!





AFTER



 What a difference!  The extra shelves and the hooks on the wall allow for more storage.  The not so small closet feels not so small anymore!




Enjoy!!

Glazing

I finally tried it: Glazing.  In part of my bathroom re-do I wanted to give my old Pier 1 mirror a face lift.  I picked up some spray paint and Martha Stewart glaze ($5) at Home Depot.  Then I got to work spraying it, then glazing the edges.

Before:



Supplies:




After:


The glazing is about as simple as its always been.  Brush on then wipe off.  I found this video to help me:






Just a few more additions them my bathroom will be ready to reveal.
ENJOY!

DIY Book Page Artwork

I needed some artwork to go in my fabric matte frames . .but something that would not be too busy.  I got my inspiration from this pottery barn magazine page:


All you need for this extremely easy DIY project is:


  • Vintage book
  • Printer
  • Silhouette image
  • Frame



I found these images online:

Then I formatted them to print where I wanted on the page, actually found that lightening the image to gray looked better and last by not least ran the book page through my printer to end up with this:


The possibilities are endless with this . . printing flowers, numbers and letters as art work!

This is the first step in my bathroom make over . . stay tuned for the full reveal!

Enjoy!
