Last week I shared with you my expanded frame wall but I didn’t get into much detail. Today I’m back to spill the beans on where each picture and frame is from. So let’s get to it, shall we? 1. Yellow balloon print from Society 6, because who doesn’t like balloons? 2. This pretty map of the DC/Baltimore area was […]
DIY
Hello, Bathroom Shelves!
Going into the Style Cure, I knew I wanted to replace the standard metal shelf in our bathroom with thick floating shelves. I also knew what wood I wanted to use for those shelves, which was a thick piece from a pile of scrap wood I bought at an estate sale. In order to achieve […]
Spray Painting a Light Fixture
After updating our bathroom cabinet knob and soap pump with spray paint, the brushed nickel bathroom light was looking a bit out of place, both placement and color wise. Although it didn’t look its best, it wasn’t horrible enough to make me want to change it right away. Then the walls acquired some color, and […]
Feeling Gray
For Apartment Therapy’s Style Cure, I have been painting the bathroom. So far the walls are done but I am considering painting the ceiling. The bathroom is really coming together now that there is some color on the wall. Yes, gray is a color. I’ll be back next week with details and pictures. In the […]
Extending My Frame Wall
The last time you saw my frame wall, I was boasting about Eliana’s artistic abilities. Since then, I’ve added more frames to the equation, turning this… …into this. There was really no method to the madness, I just went around with a hammer and nails, holding frames up (and having Philip hold frames up), then […]
Hookin’ Up Some Hooks
After completing a little medicine cabinet spruce-up, I felt it was time to move on to a more practical, not just pretty, project for my bathroom. What’s more practical than a towel hooks for the bathroom? Okay, a place to bath and a toilet are probably more practical than a towel hook, but you know […]
Medicine Cabinet Makeover: The Sequel
This is a sponsored post by hello™ but don’t worry because all of the opinions here are my own. Medicine cabinets are oh so boring, aren’t they? Last time I hesitantly showed you mine, it looked like this. After seven months its condition had descended. Not so bad, but not so good either. Like I said, […]
Window Shopping At ModCloth
ModCloth has an awesome collection of retro and vintage inspired clothes, but did you know they also have a selection of just-as-awesome home decor items? I thought it would be fun to share with you my favorite picks from their home department. After all, window shopping never hurts and thanks to the world wide web, […]
Style Cure: Updating with Spray Paint
Spray paint can offer such a dramatic impact for so little money on any given room’s design. My bathroom mood board contains a fair amount of oil-rubbed bronze and black accents but I’m not willing to dish out the money to provide brand new oil-rubbed bronze features. My only logical step was to turn to […]
July Thrift Store Finds
Thrift stores around where I am seem to be dwindling in fun things to find, so July was pretty slow in the thrift shopping department. Which is okay with me, since we really don’t need too many things. Lately, I have been trying to buy things that will be particularly useful to us, like this […]
