Master Bath: Nearly Complete

A View of the Windows and Greenery
Forgot to add a completed photo of the master bathroom. It was the same sandy beige as all the other rooms -- which is also the same shade as the moldings and the tile! Hello Beige!

While househunting, we walked through a master bathroom that was a calming blue, so I tried to recreate it here. I am surprised by how much I like the color with the beige tile. It's very spa-like.

The Vanity Corner
There's a little "water closet" that I had planned to paint a darker blue for some contrast, but am thinking of continuing the soft blue to keep with the tranquil mood.

I also need to find some pretty jutte or seagrass rugs for the room to complete the project. I hear Overstock.com has some good deals on rugs, so I'll check there first.

The photos are not that great ... the room got messy in the last few days. And the kids LOVE using the huge tub. Bathtime is a recreational event now!

Lastly, in case you're wondering, I used Pittsburgh Paints from Menardes (yes, I saved big money) called "breathless." It had a primer built in, so all I needed was a thin second coat.

Family Room: The Accent Wall

Wall: Before Ever since I started to think about decorating this house -- way back in October -- I knew I wanted to do a dramatic accent wall in the family room. The room is huge with two-story ceilings. There are six windows on one wall and four more flanking the fireplace -- so this room could definitely handle a dark, rich color. A few design magazine, sites and HGTV shows later, navy blue stuck in my head. Like one design show I watch advocates, look to the clothes you wear often to help decide color -- which for me and Dave is denim. And we both have soft navy sweatshirts that are common weekend wear. Navy it was -- decided in December. So, each night since we moved in while watching TV I'd stare at the beige wall, that is slightly inset, and imagine it was navy blue. And I'd itch and wish to paint it. Now, with the new media cabinet arriving on Friday, it's finally time! Once we moved out the furniture pieces we no longer will need, we reoriented everything ...

Top 5 Spots in Tenerife: La Ortava and Hotel Mencey

3. La Ortava A charming old town in the valley above Puerto de la Cruz. In my memory, it was green and lush, but in reality it's a small village populated by ancient buildings and nice locals. The Casa de los Balcones is a popular tourist spot to pick up local lace and your own little balcony. We walked up and down the hilly streets, and discovered two stunning public gardens and a nice coffee shop. We also watched fancy-dressed wedding guests entering an old church. The bride, I'm sorry to report, was very, very late. View Down a Twisty Street in La Ortava The Famous Tourist Trap - Casa de los Balcones  Jardin Victoria With Quite a View! 4. Hotel Mencey and Parque Garcia Sanabria In Santa Cruz, the small city we used as home base, we stretched our budget a little to stay at the historic Hotel Mencey. It was a comfortable, well-maintained hotel in a great location. I love a hotel will a lot of common spaces to relax in, and this one had a bunch, all with beaut...

Thinking Spring...

Thinking Spring ... and testing out this new collage photo editor . These are from last Spring. I was taking pictures of where the daffodils were coming up (for next Spring) when this cherubic creature stepped into the garden.
