Inspiration for Master Bath Makeover

My Blue Pearl Granite

in the Master Bath

has had me perplexed from the minute

I laid eyes on it..

~It~

set the tone for the color of the bedroom

Blue is not my favorite color

I am comfortable with

~earthy tones~

golds, greens, reds

~Jen~

helped me love blue when she matched it up with

golds & browns

smart girl

 to make sense out of all the blue in the

~master bath~

sometimes it comes across as

black though....

like in this picture

wait until you see the luscious

Candice Olson fabric

for the

window treatments in

blue & gold
~coming~

as we speak they are getting

all sewn up

I'm sooo excited..

Shelly will be here tomorrow to bring

in all the materials

and start date is

July 5th

so I am dreaming of having a
vanity & travertine flooring
~soon~

hoping it will look as good as these...

This one has a ventian mirror

 a glass top

and it's blue

&

I just adore this wallpaper

big sigh...

via

home bunch
I just love that little chair

I wonder if I should have wallpaper like this?

a little too contemporary

for my traditional

master bath

A mirror on a mirror is an idea Jen thought might work..

hummmm, I do need something...

 

I have these glass knobs

I have wired for a lamp

Isn't this seat adorable

I love the legs on this baby

I would feel like a queen

sitting here

But these legs are on mine

This is more the size and shape of mine

~sorta~

I got my vanity from my very famous

blogger friend

whom I stalk

every chance I get

~she~
 (on the left)
had this for sale
her daughter
~Savannah's~
big clue...
desk

last summer while re-doing Savannah's
bedroom...
she needed to get rid of a few
pieces of furniture

recognize this bedroom?
Lucky girl..
the picture above was taken
in this room before the
makeover...

The uber popular
Melaine
at
~My Sweet Savannah~

so I bought it

site unseen

just so I could stalk her some more...

See the cute little vanity

and chair

it used to be in the

~apartment~

(another room that's needs help)

well now it is in the garage waiting for a

make-over 

isn't she adorable

with that curve at the

~waistline~

a glass piece will be going on the top

once she is sparkling clean

I love the chippy look

but it's not for my

very traditional

~husband~

or

~bathroom~

look at the chair that came with

&

those very sexy legs

I wonder where this chair came from?

maybe she needs a short skirt?

This is where they will be shortly...

(remember this used to be a door)

with this the crowning jewel

on top

can you see it yet?

So many little pieces to this puzzle

but I am having fun

putting it all

together

one piece at a time

Joining my friend Kim's

 Party

Master Bath Remodel day 1

It all started with this

~venetian mirror~

Wouldn't this be a great vanity mirror?
But I didn't have a vanity...

For the longest time...

well since the day we moved in

four long years ago

I have wanted to do something to the

~master bath~

The Hubs firsts words to me about the house after he saw it was...

"your not going to like the master bath"
~all blue fixtures~

So we changed out the sinks

and had the tub painted

blue pearl granite

is so much prettier now that it isn't
fighting the fixtures

 

 

 I was now liking the blue pearl granite

but not the white carpet

I mean it feels good to walk on

but I know it is just wrong to have

wall to wall carpet on a bathroom floor

right?

Ok blue les toilette

you have to

~ go~

so to speak...

and there is a little problem getting into the

les toilette room

the door hit les toilette

hummmm....

so lets take out the door

and that wall will become a place to put a

~vanity~

because I am vain....

I need a place to sit and look at myself

and pluck those chin hairs

so how do we get in the

les toilette room...

a pocket door on the other side

genius!

We're getting started

wanna go along for the ride?

anybody need 2 huge beautiful blue
"Kohler Man Sinks"
 with moen fixtures
&
les toilette
to match?

Oh and that carpet....
can we say
~travertine~
with radiant heat

I'm over the moon
giddy with excitement...

because the contractor friend of ours
needs the hubs new toy
and we are
~horse trading~
otherwise I don't know if it
would have ever happened

stayed tuned for day 2

The Porch

This is my

~porch~

when we moved in

there was nothing back here

this is my

~baby~

I thunk it up all by myself

~Before~

 was just a little pink pad...

with all the rain in Seattle

and liking to entertain outside

we needed a covered porch

with a BBQ kitchen

The beautiful view

while enjoying the porch

or we can sit by the fire...

too early to put the TV out

darn this NW moisture



The little Japanese maples are in full bloom finally

Can you spot our new little

solar powered lantern?

We so love entertaining out here

We have some guests that come every night...

and they are so loud we can hardly hear ourselves

~think~

I am linking to Kim's Big

Porch Party

I almost didn't make this party

as I had one going on into the wee hours

~last night~

right here at my place..

my high school buds

if you want to see some great

porches you have to go

here

after checking out Kim's I can see that I have

a lot of work to do with

~fluffing~
