We’ve been in our new dwelling for over 6 months now and I don’t suppose I’ve actually proven you something however the pantry (which wants an up to date image as a result of it now has a whole shelf of selfmade pickles that makes me puff out my chest huge time each time I see it).
I assume in my head I image all these dwelling design blogs (which I’m not) with gorgeous earlier than and after photos. I preserve ready to get my areas to the ultimate “after” with all of the touches earlier than sharing and due to that, I’ve nothing to indicate.
However I’ve modified my pondering. Our houses are purported to be ever evolving areas, aren’t they? I’ve been including to ours, but additionally being cautious to solely add issues we love. I’m a agency believer that dwelling design ought to mirror the individual dwelling there. I like once I stroll in a pal’s dwelling and it simply feels like them, you recognize?
With this purpose in thoughts, I’ve tried to know fashion ideas, but additionally go boldly within the course of issues that make me really feel pleasure. In any case, my household and I live our lives on this house and I need it to really feel like us and serve us, with finally operate trumping type in some areas (like our espresso desk that the majority would say doesn’t “go” with the lounge however serves as a sturdy base for our chess board, shut the field, and youngsters sitting on prime of it.
With that prolonged rationalization out of the way in which, I’m excited to share with you an area that I’ve been most enthusiastic about transforming- our powder room!
I used to be excited to personalize this house as a result of it’s a room everybody will see and it’s sufficiently small so as to add a variety of persona to pretty shortly. Right here’s a take a look at what it seemed like after we moved in:

I cherished the bones of this room. It’s massive window letting in loads of pure gentle. The sunshine flooring and the impartial cupboard and counter tops with a champagne bronze faucet. Nevertheless, the Greek Villa partitions made the house really feel so sterile. One may argue that sterile is nice for a loo, however I used to be excited to actually lean into this house and go daring.
And daring I went! I discovered a wallpaper I cherished and obtained on the set up schedule of Mike Bradshaw (who was fantastic to work with!), and shortly sufficient, my powder room remodeled into this:

This house now makes me smile each time I stroll by it! I like the colours, the daring floral sample, and the heat and persona of the house.

Is it fully “achieved?” Most likely not, so. I’d like to get a framed piece of some type of artwork to go over the bathroom, however artwork is one thing I’m having the toughest time with in our dwelling. I need and wish it on the partitions but additionally don’t wish to go select random items that don’t communicate to me not directly, so I determine a few of that must include time.
Okay, one final earlier than and after for enjoyable; and thanks for stopping by my powder room! 🙂
