I know, I’m a bad blogger.
We’ve made a lot of progress in the Mudroom (and by me, I mean John) but I’m actually close enough that I don’t think I’m going to show you anything else until we do the reveal (which still could be weeks away).
I can give you an update on the Master Bathroom.
I gave John this art for his birthday. It’s a nice Van Gogh print (I bet you thought it was real, huh?). The framing was actually more expensive than the print, but I had to make sure that the print was well protected since it’s going in a humid bathroom.
(A little props for myself: can we say MUCH BETTER PICTURE? Amazing.
If I took anything away from Haven, I’d be excited if it was the photography stuff).
I think the print fills that space over the tub really well and goes with our color palette in here but ads a little more color that we were needing.I also choose the fabric for the valance:
It’s called Dorrigan Ikat Lagoon and I think it’s going to have the effect that I want. At least I hope. Any ideas for how to trim it? Do I have to make piping? Because I really don’t wanna, says the lazy seamstress.
One of the other big changes we made is we FINALLY replaced these horrible lights:
with these:
I picked the fixtures up at our local Habitat Restore for $4.50 each, but they were brass, so I spray painted them in Oil Rubbed Bronze and bought some new globes off ebay. Not bad for $30 total.
So now, my biggest questions mark remains… what the heck do I do with those mirrors? I’ve looked into replacing them but I haven’t really found anything I love. Do I paint them a fun color? If so, what color? I’m completely stumped.
I like the mirrors as is...at least in the pictures anyways. There. Easy fix. :)
ReplyDeleteI love that print! And the fabric works very well with it!!
I'm with you on the lack of projects. Darn day job.
i didn't know you had a van gogh in your home? seriously!
ReplyDeletelove the colors!
and i agree that i think the mirror looks good as is. i don't think a color would better it at all. if anything if it is not working with the ORB (it looks great from the photo!) you could spray it with the same ORB.
Hey Maury! It all looks great! I think the mirrors would look good re-stained to match the frame of your picture. :)
ReplyDeleteHave a great day!
We sold that print in the store where I worked and I've always loved it. It's going to look perfect with the ikat fabric! I don't think you have to make piping for the valance. Maybe just hemming it will be fine...says the lazy girl!
ReplyDeleteI feel like coming up and taking a bath right now!
ReplyDeleteIt turned out really, really nice. I love the print that you had made for your husband and the fabric you selected for your bathroom valance. Your color combination is great!
ReplyDeleteThe print is awesome and looks great with the fabric. I say paint the mirror!
ReplyDeleteIt is so lovely! I like the combo of aqua and brown.
ReplyDeleteI like your new lights, but I also really like the old ones - I wish I could steal them from you!
This is going to be so gorgeous with the ikat! What about a frameless mirror? http://www.lampsplus.com/products/frameless-beveled-border-24-inch-high-wall-mirror__94518.html
ReplyDeleteI'm going to invite myself to take a bath at your house! Your tub is gorgeous! I love the ReStore as well. I know the people by name because I go there so much!
ReplyDeleteI kinda like the mirrors as is. The dark tone goes well with the ORB hardware and fixtures.
ReplyDeleteGreat choice for artwork. I love Van Gogh :)
Oooh I didn't know you could buy new globes off of ebay! I want to replace the ones in the ceiling fan we hijacked from one of the bedrooms to use in our enclosed porch, but was stumped about how to replace them. And yes, your pictures look great! You go, girl! :)
ReplyDeleteThis looks so relaxing :) My kind of place!
