We’ve been in our new dwelling for over 6 months now and I don’t assume 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 home made pickles that makes me puff out my chest huge time each time I see it).
I suppose in my head I image all these dwelling design blogs (which I’m not) with beautiful earlier than and after photos. I maintain 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 considering. Our properties are speculated 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 particular person dwelling there. I really like once I stroll in a pal’s dwelling and it simply feels like them, you already know?
With this objective in thoughts, I’ve tried to grasp fashion ideas, but additionally go boldly within the course of issues that make me really feel pleasure. In any case, my household and I reside our lives on this area and I need it to really feel like us and serve us, with in the end perform trumping kind 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 clarification out of the best way, 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 area as a result of it’s a room everybody will see and it’s sufficiently small so as to add a whole lot of character to pretty rapidly. Right here’s a take a look at what it seemed like after we moved in:

I beloved 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 area really feel so sterile. One may argue that sterile is nice for a loo, however I used to be excited to essentially lean into this area and go daring.
And daring I went! I discovered a wallpaper I beloved and obtained on the set up schedule of Mike Bradshaw (who was fantastic to work with!), and shortly sufficient, my powder room reworked into this:
.
This area now makes me smile each time I stroll by it! I really like the colours, the daring floral sample, and the heat and character of the area.

Is it utterly “achieved?” In all probability not, so. I’d like to get a framed piece of some form 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 pick random items that don’t converse to me indirectly, 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! 🙂
