We’ve been in our new residence for over 6 months now and I don’t assume I’ve actually proven you something however the pantry (which wants an up to date image as a result of it now has a whole shelf of selfmade pickles that makes me puff out my chest huge time each time I see it).
I assume in my head I image all these residence design blogs (which I’m not) with gorgeous earlier than and after photos. I hold ready to get my areas to the ultimate “after” with all of the touches earlier than sharing and due to that, I’ve nothing to indicate.
However I’ve modified my considering. Our houses are purported to be ever evolving areas, aren’t they? I’ve been including to ours, but additionally being cautious to solely add issues we love. I’m a agency believer that residence design ought to mirror the particular person residing there. I like once I stroll in a buddy’s residence and it simply feels like them, you realize?
With this objective in thoughts, I’ve tried to know model ideas, but additionally go boldly within the path of issues that make me really feel pleasure. In spite of everything, my household and I live our lives on this house and I need it to really feel like us and serve us, with in the end operate trumping kind in some areas (like our espresso desk that almost all would say doesn’t “go” with the lounge however serves as a sturdy base for our chess board, shut the field, and children sitting on high of it.
With that prolonged clarification out of the best way, I’m excited to share with you an area that I’ve been most enthusiastic about transforming- our powder room!
I used to be excited to personalize this house as a result of it’s a room everybody will see and it’s sufficiently small so as to add a whole lot of character to pretty shortly. Right here’s a take a look at what it appeared like once we moved in:
New Residence: Powder Room
I beloved the bones of this room. It’s massive window letting in loads of pure mild. The sunshine flooring and the impartial cupboard and counter tops with a champagne bronze faucet. Nonetheless, the Greek Villa partitions made the house really feel so sterile. One may argue that sterile is nice for a loo, however I used to be excited to actually lean into this house and go daring.
And daring I went! I discovered a wallpaper I beloved and acquired on the set up schedule of Mike Bradshaw (who was fantastic to work with!), and shortly sufficient, my powder room reworked into this:
.
This house now makes me smile each time I stroll by it! I like the colours, the daring floral sample, and the heat and character of the house.

Is it fully “completed?” In all probability not, so. I’d like to get a framed piece of some type of artwork to go over the bathroom, however artwork is one thing I’m having the toughest time with in our residence. I need and wish it on the partitions but additionally don’t need to go select random items that don’t converse to me not directly, so I determine a few of that should include time.
Okay, one final earlier than and after for enjoyable; and thanks for stopping by my powder room! 🙂
