Behind the Scenes: Guest Bath

Do you remember this room? Uhhh! Gold walls, bad mirror...Terrible! 

Before:

After:

We (mainly my dad) added the board & batten, painted, changed the mirror and lighting, and cut the storage door to add the shelving above. I don't have a lot of bright paint in my house, and this was a great way for me to get some color without the whole room being loud. I love how fun this bath is for our guests! 

Behind the Scenes: Guest Room 2

This room is a great size and for some reason ended up being the last room we finished. Well I wouldn't say finished, it is still a work in progress. 

 Before:

This photographs like a great gray color, but it was a green. And again the blinds must go!

After:

The nook became Wesley's office space. We got the desk from Pottery Barn and I used Rub n' Buff to change the hardware to gold. 

The window behind the bed was covered by this headboard, which was a tri-fold screen from World Market. I need to get two bedside tables and want to add sconces on either side of the headboard.

 We painted this room White Dove too!

 I got the rug from a sidewalk sale and the long pillow from Anthropologie. 

I love how clean and slightly girly this room turned out.

Behind the Scenes: Guest Room

This room is the only room in the house we haven't painted. Yes, it needs it but we were waiting to make this the nursery for baby Hill.

 Before:

Sorry this is bad quality

 After: 

 We used curtains to hide the one off center window behind the bed. I got the mirror and the fabric at the end of the bed from...guess where.....SCOTTS! 

I got the wooden piece above from Home Goods, that was a major score!

We also took down the ceiling fan and replaced it with a custom fixture I had made at Scotts too!

I think this made a cozy room for our never-ending guests.

Behind the Scenes: Kitchen & Dining

The Kitchen in our house was...to put it nicely...not my style! I couldn't wait to get my hands on it. 

Before:

Here is the list: Floors, cabinets, hardware, appliances, lighting, paint....Do you see how far the refrigerator sticks out from its built in box??

After:

 Ahhhh ...White! I just love white! We changed the floor, added the subway tile backsplash, changed the lighting, took out that built in box and replaced the fridge with a counter-depth, changed the hardware, painted, moved cabinets around...whew! We also added one of our favorite things the chalkboard wall.

I had the marble table made from dealers at Scotts, got the settee from World Market, chairs from Home Decorators Collection, artwork from a friend, lighting from Ballard Designs...

This china cabinet I found at 14th Street Antique Market here in Atlanta. 

Hope you have enjoyed the recap of our Home Tour this week. More to come next week. 

Behind the Scenes: Master Bath

Our master bath needed some help. The cabinet was white and gross, the mirror was horrible, and the walls needed a fresh coat.

Before:

 After:

 We changed the paint color, mirror, added storage above the door,

 and painted the bottom of the cabinet a deep gray. 

These little changes really opened up this small space. I love the new cabinet color!

Behind the Scenes: Master Bedroom

The master bedroom wasn't so bad. Again, it needed a new paint color and new blinds.

Before:

 We have always felt lucky to have two closets.

After:

We painted the walls Benjamin Moore Smoke Embers

and added new blinds and our furniture.

Even my closet got a makeover with the help of the Container Store

Up Next: Master Bath

Behind The Scenes: Living Room

I am excited to show you our living room before and after today. Also, check out What's on my Vanity over at It's Like This. I was thrilled Meredith asked me to participate. 

Before:

 The walls were a dull cream and the blinds were horrible!

After:

 

 With a little love and a new paint color we made this into a space we love.

 I got the wingbacks and the coffee table at Scotts Antique Market

 The sconces are from Pottery Barn, the accent chair was a thrift store find, the tall mirror is from Ikea and it got a makeover too. I scored the blue stool from Scotts too!

 

 

I had the coffee table and the console below made from a dealer at Scotts. 

I got the mirror from a friend and the lighting from World Market.
