Living for Pretty

Celebrating all things pretty, happy and inspiring. From renovation stories, to recipes, decorating, parties and little life lessons, you’ll find a little bit of everything here.

our light and bright bathroom (the after)



October 15, 2013

I wanted to keep everything as light and bright as possible, with pops of yellow here and there. The bathroom is pretty small, about 7’x8′. We ended up moving the doorway to the hallway outside the kitchen, which greatly improved the feng shui of the house (and the layout of our kitchen). Everything is new (except for the cast iron tub, which we repurposed). We hired a contractor to demo the back of the house and build anew. I love the vaulted ceilings, which helps keep everything feeling airy. To save costs we ended up transforming a banquet into the vanity (cost $40) and painting it grey like the inspiration vanity and tiling everything ourselves. I’ll have a source list for everything tomorrow (update here it is).

Just a quick reminder of the before:

HELLO

Decor and home with a little bit of daydreaming and real life sprinked in. My husband and I are slowly updating our 1900 Dutch Colonial. I love hunting for vintage and flying the pacific northwest and the world with my aviator husband.
