Decor inspiration from a Hotel

Tuesday, February 17, 2015

Today was part snow day, part work from home day and a whole lot of juggling.  Am I the only Mom that feels like I come up short in all areas on days like today?  School is cancelled tomorrow too! Yikes!



Yesterday I posted about some awesome gold and white ceramics from Zgallerie.  Then I remembered that I had seen them before.  In my real life, full-time job, I work in the hospitality field and went on a work field trip to see the new Courtyard and Residence Inn Richmond Downtown. Yall, they are gorgeous hotels!  SO cool!

I love this gallery wall! It's a great mix of shapes and different kinds of art with silhouettes, black and white photography and color artwork.

They also mixed in a lot of white ceramic books.







I found many of the artifacts at ZGallerie if you want to achieve a similar look in your home with white and gold decor.



Which piece is your favorite?

Bathroom Lighting

Monday, February 16, 2015

Hey ya'll!  It's snowing here in Raleigh!  Just a tiny bit so far, but school has already been cancelled for tomorrow.

The crown molding is up in our Master Bath!

And we purchased mirrors! Can you tell that I am excited?!? Thank you to everyone who commented on the blog and my Facebook page.  If you follow me on Instagram then you already know which one we picked...none that were shown!

I loved this mirror from ZGallerie, but not the price tag.


And I needed two!  That was over my budget for the entire bathroom redo. We headed to Kirkland's to pick up one of the mirrors in the mock up below (the lower left one).



Luckily, I found a look for less option at Kirkland's. And they were on sale for $38!  And we had a coupon!  



This picture is awful, so check out my Instagram for a better one.


While on the Zgallerie site I found these lovelies on sale:

Alexa Canister & Box $16 on Sale
Caprise Pillar Holder $15-$19 on Sale

Back to the bathroom, we ordered these lights from Lowe's.

Now we just have to paint, install mirrors, install lights, hang new towel bars and we will be done. If only it were that easy.

Stay warm and cozy!




Spa Master Bath-Mirror Decisions

Sunday, February 8, 2015

Hey guys!  I hope you are having a great weekend so far.  We had a blast today at two different birthday parties.

I am trying to finalize my plans and my budget for our Master Bathroom update.  You may recall that it is builder boring with the original antique white paint on the walls.  I posted a design board here if you want to check it out. It doesn't need much, just a little sprucing up.  I think new mirrors, vanity lights, chandelier, paint and crown molding, and window treatments will do the trick.


I mocked up my top mirror choices and would love your opinion.  I am leaning towards one in particular.  Which one is your favorite?

2 Story Foyer to Larger Bonus Room

Friday, January 30, 2015

Happy Saturday!  I started a new job January 12th has my head spinning!  I have a lot to learn and I am loving it.  I don't know if it's the career change or the fact that it is a new year, but my creative wheels are spinning in terms of our house.

We built our house and shortly after moving in we wished that we had the builder frame our 2 story foyer as a 1 story foyer which would then provide an additional 60 square feet to our bonus room upstairs.  We are currently reviewing quotes from contractors to do just that.  In the mean time, this is what I am picturing for the space.  


I am no longer in love with our big, brown sectional that was in our old living  room, but it is comfortable and practically indestructible.  I really can't justify replacing it in our boys' hangout room.  

My goals for the new space include:
TV Watching
Gaming
Beverage & Snack Center
Desks
Floor space to wrestle (they are boys after all)

The boys will still use the Dining Room aka Lego Library for lego building.

To meet these goals we need:
2 desks on casters and desk chairs
Bean bag chairs
Mini fridge
Wall Art
Window treatments-shades and cornices (this is embarrassing...we have paper shades in here still)
Pillows

Do you have a kid/teen hangout space?  What are essential functions in the space?
