sneak peek: our master bath

so…i kinda love design.  & by kinda, i mean definitely.  i love transforming old to new.  even if it means redoing the same thing multiple times .. (which is starting to scare my sweet husband. ; )

i believe that color, pattern, texture, placement, scale, balance, etc, are extremely important in every room, as our atmosphere/environment highly impacts us on deeper levels than we may realize …

that’s not to say that i get everything right when i design/decorate — i am definitely still learning … but … i do love to experiment & try new things, like pairing odd colors or materials together. if it doesn’t feel right, i change it. however .. despite loving the ‘odd,’ i am still drawn to neutrals & naturals … so pairing classic & traditional with unusual & quirky is also something i enjoy quite a bit. : )

in case anyone who isn’t able to visit often would like to see into our little home, i’ll be posting some ‘sneak peaks’ every now & then …. hope you enjoy!

welcome to our master bathroom:

here’s an example of trying something & changing my mind (!)

before … or, shall i say, midway:

re-using cute drawer pulls (that i used in our wedding) as towel hooks seemed like a fun idea at the time.  & honestly, i didn’t hate it … i just … changed my mind : )

after:

by the way, i TRY to use items we already have, & just mix them up … like the frames on the walls (engagement photos by angela cox), the shelf with hooks … the owl candle, the glass bottle & tin bucket (more wedding decor), & the mirror. in fact, this is what the mirror used to look like … well, right before i spray painted it, at least:

yay for wedding gifts! we registered for these cuties at target:

i like to keep shampoos, lotions, etc, from fun places i’ve been — in this jar, there are items from all over israel, tahiti, moorea, bora bora, & others. : )

the latest edition is our jute rug/runner … i am in love with the natural elements & the texture it brings into the room.

… the next ‘project’ will probably be something on the wall over the towel rack, next to the shower curtain … and/or i may also be attempting to frame our large mirror …  there’s also my love for board & batten … or wainscoting … oh gosh … i’ll keep ya posted … ; )

maybe i’m not so weird after all…

orrr….maybe i’m just not alone. ; )
