a home decor blog, making it pretty one space at a time

You know when you move into a new house and you dump everything in a room and live like that? Well, that was my office. Above was the before photo. And honestly, this wasn’t even the worst of it. While redoing our master bedroom, the empty spot behind my desk was FULL of boxes of furniture waiting to be put in the room. Toys were everywhere. It was awful to work in here. [Read more…]

For my master bedroom, I chose a white rug that I am IN LOVE with! But I did get a few people asking how I would keep it clean. And honestly, that is something you should consider when choosing out a rug! Luckily, I have this new Hoover SmartWash Carpet Cleaner to keep it white.

Last week I shared the reveal of my bathroom! The feedback on it has been so positive- thank you! I was a little surprised when the number one question I got was how much it cost. But, I totally get it! I love to hear the bottom line too! So I thought I’d share a full breakdown of the costs for you.
Arch Mirror $323.40
Sink Faucet $174.99
Vanity $812.49
White Shelf $82.34
Brass Trip Lever $101.49
Toilet $335.99
Rug $84.57
Floors $40
Baseboards & Chair Rail $55
Light $440
New Window $300
Faux Peony Flowers $128.99
Pink Cabinet $173.99
Art $20
Wallpaper $952
Clawfoot Faucet $303.49
Tub Caddy $93.49
Stool $83.96
Pink Paint for the Tub $10
Bathroom Accessory Set $96.99
Plants for over the Tub $20
Total- $4633.18
You can see from this list that I definitely chose to splurge on some items (like the wallpaper and vanity) and then save on others (like painting the tub and putting in the peel and stick floors). Another thing to note is that I already owned most of the art and accessories from my last bathroom. Reusing those items helped me spend less money!
One day I’ll pay someone to move the tub, tear out the floor, subfloor, the floor that is under that (yep- there’s two sets of floors!), and re-tile the floors. I’ll also add tile to the bottom half of the walls at that point. Dealing with moving the tub and the costs associated with it were too much for me now. But I think its ok to do what you can with renovations and then save up and finish later.
Almost exactly a year ago, I remodeled the bathroom in my last home. I also shared the cost breakdown on that space here. I thought I’d add it in case anyone is interested in how that bathroom added up! Here are some tips I have on how to do bathroom renovations on a budget!
arch mirror / brass faucet / white vanity / rug / faux peony flowers / abstract wallpaper / stool / pink cabinet / brass towel rod set / white shelf / brass trip lever / claw foot tub faucet / tub caddy / Victorian accessory set / extension mirror / peel and stick floors / brass light / hand soap / turtle trinket dish / soap dish / bubble bath / abstract art / sea sponge / grey rain art / pink fouta towel / hardware pink cabinet / brass vase / plant hangers / wood box / pink wall art /

Today is such an exciting day! I get to share how my master bedroom came out! We finished building the last of the bookcases and installing crown molding on Sunday and then installed the room. I’m pretty happy with how colorful, textural, bright, and happy this room turned out!

As you may know, I’ve been doing everything humanly possible to complete a budget friendly kitchen remodel. I started by painting the fridge pink, then the cabinets got painted, next I even attempted to to redo my counter tops with a coat of paint, the sink and faucet got switched out, I installed open shelving, and now I want to talk about the kitchen cabinet hardware!

Don’s room is finally complete! The last time I shared on here, we had just finished the cloud mural and we were ready to add the furnishings back in. I had the idea to do the install while Don was in preschool and when he arrived, we did a big reveal. I think Don was a little overwhelmed at the big change and said he wasn’t that impressed- lol!
But, I love the room and he does too now! Are you ready to see how it turned out?
Eep! We are officially down to the wire with the master bedroom! Last week I made a list of everything we needed to accomplish and scheduled out a project for each day. It has sure helped me from feeling (too) overwhelmed. And thankfully, we’re mostly on schedule!
Looking to catch up on past master bedroom progress?

This week, I started out by painting the walls Ultra Pure White by Behr.
As you may know, I’ve been slowly updating my kitchen and little dining area. With the addition of a new table and chairs, I thought it was time to make my dining room feel a little more cozy for fall!

Buying this house, one thing really perplexed me- where would we eat? There isn’t a dining room, just a large kitchen. So we put our table (that was too big) in the kitchen and it was fine. I didn’t like having to push the table against the wall and it was really hard to get in and out of the room.
But, evidently fine isn’t good enough (lol), and I started dreaming about having the perfect dining table setup. [Read more…]
