  • $50 Bathroom Makeover

    $50 Bathroom Makeover

    I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again.

    Sometimes the best room makeovers are the ones that are unplanned. 

    Totally random, flying by the seat of your pants, out of the blue unplanned.

    It happened in my living room.

    It started with a black and white gallery wall, which led to a new rug, which led to new curtains.

    And suddenly, I finally had a living room I loved.

    And now its happened with the bathroom.

    But the best part is that this random, little out of the blue makeover cost me just $50.

    All that was needed was a little paint, a shower curtain, and some rearranging.

    So. As my former students would say, “What had happened was….”

    This green cane inspired accent wall.

    And that prompted me to paint the pink ceiling white because it was clashing too much with the green.

    And then I switched out the fabric under the sink that hides the pipes.

    And then that black and white goodness led to this black and white shower curtain from Target.

    And I nixed the shower cornice to keep it all light, bright and airy.

    P.S. – That shower curtain is on sale for less than $20 at Target® right now! 

    And then I did a bit of editing and rearranging on the built-in shelves above the throne.

    I added my little neon man…

    I mean really, isn’t he just darling?

    And finally, I topped off my toilet paper supply with Quilted Northern® from Target® – stylish, but forgettable toilet paper.

    Because who wants to remember their toilet paper experiences?

    My Favorite Green Color Combinations for Decorating

    It was love at first spray when I made the Kate Spade Inspired Lamp Makeover.

    I had met my decorating color soulmate and there was no turning back.

    Green and I went together as well as me and cheap beer.

    Well, almost. Let’s face it – cheap beer will always have my heart. Oh, and Grunt Labor too.

    I think one of the main reasons I love green so much is because it looks great with my second in line favorite colors.

    Painting the lower cabinets navy was by far one of the best decisions I have ever made. My green barstools just pop off the navy and white.

    If you are one of those people who think green and red only belong together at Christmastime, I’m so sorry for you. I’ll be honest – I use to think that too. But let me tell you, I think the combination is bold, pretty, and unexpected.

    While the bed is a bit too fancy for my taste, this green and white bedroom wouldn’t be too hard to pull off. Paint all the walls green. Make everything else in the room white. Showstopper.

    7 {To Die For} White Kitchens

    Ok, maybe not To Die For, but you know what I mean. They are good.

    Way good.

    Let’s talk about white kitchens for a moment, shall we?

    First off, let’s define them. To me, a white kitchen is one that is mostly white of course. It doesn’t mean that all the cabinets have to be white, the backsplash white, or the countertops all white. To me, it just means that when you look at the overall space, it feels light and airy.

    Personally, I love white kitchens. To me, they have the most clean lines and seem the most inviting.

    Modern Rustic White Kitchen

    When Grunt Labor and I bought our foreclosure, I knew I wanted to make the cabinets white and have subway tile in our kitchen. We went for a white on white on white scheme with the cabinets, countertops, and backsplash, then brought in color with the barstools, and character with the island. I do have to say though, I am starting to crave just a bit more color in here – I’m thinking I can bring some in with a couple rugs.

    And on a side note – everyone always asks me how hard it is to keep white cabinets clean. Well honestly, I’m not the best at keeping them spic ‘n span everyday. I don’t have time to wipe them down daily. However, when I do get around to wiping them down, any grease, dirt, or smudges come off super easily with a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser.

    I love the simple white cabinets in this kitchen and the classic subway tile. What I really really love about this kitchen though are the pops of black and white. Those countertops are perfection and the black and white rugs tie it all in.

    Navy and White Kitchen

    Sara Richardson is one of my all time favorite designers. This kitchen she designed is to me, breathtaking. On one side, you’ve got the clean white cabinets and then bam that navy and brass island just make it all pop.

    Dark Blue and White Kitchen

    Yep, more navy. I am totally digging the white cabinets on top, navy on the bottom. Even though this space has some definite color, it still has that overall white feel to me with the countertops and backsplash.

    White Kitchen

    Four Generations One Roof  has a beautiful white kitchen. She brought in some color with her backsplash and tied it together with her rug. I love the cozy cottage feel.

    Black and White Kitchen

    This kitchen is definitely on the modern side. I’m not 100% crazy about the style of it, but I love how it shows that you can have lots of black in a kitchen and still have it feeling light and airy by painting the walls white and doing a white backsplash.

    Teal and White Kitchen

    Mom 4 Real has another beautiful white kitchen, but had the genius idea of removing some of her upper cabinet doors and painting the backs with a fun teal color. Such a great way to add color, while still keeping that white kitchen feel.
