A Guest Room Reveal at Songbird

When I saw this guest room reveal submitted by Marianne at Songbird...I immediately replied that I was on my way and never leaving my new room!  I would move into the guest room if this was in my home.  From the subtle stripes to the beautiful vintage feel, she did a wonderful job at creating a room that guests will never want to leave.  Here are some pictures from her reveal:

Now, it might be a small room but with the new colors, it’s fresh, light, airy.  It’s stunning.  I’m just sorry that there doesn’t seem to be enough room for you to join me.  🙂  Read more details and see more pictures on her original post HERE.
Marianne – thank you so much for sharing your guest room makeover.  Not only is the room itself beautiful, but your attention to detail for your guests is just so sweet. I love the thought that you put into everything.  You love it.  I love it and I know everyone else (your sister included) will too.  Great job!

Unplanned DIY Bathroom Makeover

What I love about this DIY makeover from Cassie at Hi Sugarplum is that she didn’t intentionally set out to give her bathroom a makeover.  It just evolved.  As she says, one day she decided to paint stripes.  Then decided that the vanity would look better dark and one thing led to another and several months later, she has a new look to her bathroom.  I love this quote:  “And did I mention there wasn’t really a budget either, since I wasn’t technically ‘making it over?’ Yay for paint and bargain accessories!” Well – that works for me because take a look!
Here is her bathroom before:

I have a striped bathroom too. I love the subtle stripes!

She framed her mirror and gave the light fixture, paper holder and toilet handle a coat of brushed nickel spray paint – easy updates that look awesome!

She let her son pick out the faucet and he chose a waterfall style. Makes washing hands and brushing teeth more fun!

I love side by side comparisons.  Isn’t this a great transformation?

What a difference!  It’s beautiful, Cassie.  It’s amazing how just a little paint and details can make all of the difference!  LOVE it!  If you’d like more specifics on Cassies’s bathroom makeover, click here

Complete Bathroom Overhaul

Ready to see a completely different before and after?  I do!  Alan and Val have taken their bathroom from barely functional to WOW!  
Here it is before with what she says was a weird counter with a sink that was impossible to use and a shower that appeared huge and wonderful from afar but in reality had a bad uneven tile job. 

Demo time!
 And here are the afters.  Yes, it’s the same bathroom!

A new vanity with double sinks
A new shower with soaking tub.  All new tile and fixtures.

Love the tile!

The walls were painted a light gray (Valspar’s Bay Waves) which coordinates with the rest of her home and the blue stripes (Behr’s Wishing Well) go along with our color blocked rooms.
 
Beautiful job, Alan and Valerie!  I love your new modern bathroom and love the way everything came together.  
 
So, what do you guys think?
