Updating the Spare Bathroom

February 24, 2022
When I moved into my current home a few years ago, I knew I would be redoing the spare bathroom. The tiles in the shower were starting to buckle so I knew it was time.

Here are some before pictures. Not the prettiest bathroom!                                             

 

 

These are the tiles I chose. The accent tiles were from Home Depot. The wall and floor tiles were from ProSource.

 

The excavation was the worst part. It usually is!! All that mess!

 

I can see the beginning of the design take place. So exciting to see!!

 

All done and I couldn’t be happier with the result. I didn’t spend a lot because this is not my main bathroom but I still wanted it to look nice. I was pleased with the results.

 

 

I even added a shelf for plants.

Do You Like Armless Sofas??

December 9, 2021

Have you ever consider buying an armless sofa? Most people have not. Their argument here is there is no place to prop a pillow or support to lean on.

But the best feature of an armless sofa, they offer more seating than a regular sofa. It allows people to sit on the edge, creating more seating options. It tends to have a more contemporary feel to the design. It’s more of a Scandinavian design.

Like anything else, armless sofas have a place in designs. Would you consider buying an armless sofa???

Kitchen Pulls & Knobs in Wood

November 25, 2021

In the past drawer pull and knobs have always been metal. But recently there has been a trend towards wood. Wood pulls give character and warmth that metal pulls or knobs do not.  They add texture and depth to the kitchen and a great alternative to the standard pulls and knobs.

So when designing your kitchen don’t overlook wood pulls or knobs. I think you will be pleasantly surprised!!

Slim Console Tables

November 11, 2021

Slim console tables are great when a standard size takes up too much space. They are very versatile, allowing you to use these tables in areas that don’t need seating but you need to fill in the wall space.

They can be used to display decor, collections, or a place to drop off your keys when coming home. They are a great solution when your foyer is very small.

Bathroom Tiles in Beautiful Bold Colors

October 28, 2021

There’s been a trend from all-white designs to beautiful bold colors. I”m not saying white doesn’t have its place in the design world, I’m just saying I’ve seen bold colors making a comeback.

There are so many options and colors to choose from. You can go as bold as you like if you’re daring, or just add splashes of it. They have matt finishes to a high gloss. I do love them but truth be told, not sure I would go so bold.

How about you? Would you go bold?!!!
