Girl’s Bathroom Makeover

Girl's Bathroom Makeover via Unexpected Elegance

I had a busy weekend, but I found some time to work on the girl’s bathroom.  When I was out shopping last week for my upcoming show, I happened to find a few things for that space.  I had wanted a cabinet to go above the toilet and small market cart for their laundry.  Surprising I found both at the same antique mall.  To top it off they were having a store wide sale and I got both pieces for around $50!

Scott had gone out yesterday to run some errands, so I was flying solo on this project. Have you ever tried to hang a cabinet yourself?  It’s not easy!  I started by finding the studs, then pre-drilled some screws into the shelving.  I secured one side, then used a level to get it in the right spot before drilling in the other screws.

I didn’t have a lot of time to play around, but I ‘m looking forward to “styling” them.  (And I needed to do a load of towels, so I was running low on fillers! ;) )

The cart is the perfect size.  I almost bought a reproduction a few weeks ago for three times the price.  I’m so glad I waited!  I saved money and got the real thing…score!

I’m debating on adding a bag to it…what’s your thoughts?

The next few days I will getting ready for The Vintage Farmhouse Spring Market.  If you would like to see some of the things I will be bringing, be sure to follow me of Facebook and/or Instagram.  I will try to post pieces as I complete them.

Happy Monday, ya’ll!

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of CB2. All opinions are 100% mine.

If you’ve read my blog for any length of time, you would probably say that my style is somewhat “safe?” ( It’s OK you can say it!) I know I take chances with different materials and I think outside of the box when it comes to re-purposing, but I tend to stay safe on color. I am slowly breaking out of my three color, color palette, though. Take my master bedroom, for instance. Two years ago I would have NEVER gone with a dark color. And look at me know!!!

With that said, I wanted to tell you about a great opportunity and one color packed FUN collection! Have you heard of CB2? They have teamed up with the amazing design couple, Bob and Courtney Novogratz from HGTV’s show Home by Novogratz, to bring us a new collection that just debuted May 2nd.  The best part: to celebrate, they are giving one lucky fan a trip to the Novogratz vacation home in Brazil. Seriously! AND this is the home that inspired the entire line, even cooler.

A midst the chaos that surrounds this time of year, I am in the middle of re-doing a few rooms.  (I’m a little crazy, I know!)  BUT, when my husband says he’s ready to change something, I jump on it.  This doesn’t happen often, my friends.  (I embrace/love change, him not so much.)

Find IT For Less: Accent Table

05.09.2013

Today we are talking accent tables.  Neither table I found is very expensive, but saving money is always good! Ballard’s Olivia Mirrored Side Table: $149 World Market’s Walker Campaign Accent Table:  $99   The obvious difference is the mirrored top.  I personally would prefer it without the mirror.  Little kids make it almost impossible to keep things [...]
