Shopping Our Master Bathroom

This is the type of post I really appreciate when I look at all my favorite DIY blogs. Because, you see these great renovations and wonder: "Cool! I wonder where they got that {fill in the blank}?"

It's so much easier to shop what other people actually bought and installed, instead of scrolling through lists and lists of lamps and reading comments, etc.

Happy shopping!
Shower and Tub View
The Shopping List: Grey Floor Tile | Shower Faucet and Dial | Subway Tile | Hex Tile | Freestanding Bathtub | Bathtub Faucet

Double Vanities
The Vanities Wall
The Shopping List: Dove Grey Vanities | Gooseneck Vanity Lights | Round Mirrors | Black Matte Faucets | Small Clock | Toilet (in water closet)


In The Closet
The Shopping List: Wall-Mounted Shoe Storage 

Paint Colors: Walls are Halation from Behr, water closet is Forever Denim from Behr, and pop-of-color yellow in the linen closet is Behr's Hawaiian Pineapple (all purchased at Home Depot) 

A few things to note: 

Most of these items are from Home Depot. I did that because the Home Depot credit card gave me a small discount for the first order, had most of the items I wanted at a good or discounted price, I could easily keep track of spending/budget, and their customer service was pretty good. Plus, I have a store in my neighborhood, so I could easily and conveniently return anything without shipping and they guarantee no-hassle when I use their card. 

I learned this the hard way. In my basement bathroom I sourced items from a Floor & Decor store 45 minutes away and online on Amazon. So when the contractor ran out of tile, I had to rush down to that store to buy more. And the sink from Amazon was so unusual the plumber had to go to the hardware store four times to figure out how to hook it up. 

Also, I splurged on some items (the sink faucets, for example) and went cheap in other areas, including the bathtub and vanity lights. I comparison shopped for hours, spent way too much time looking at EVERYTHING but I can say I gave all the shopping a solid effort.

Behold! Everard Blue!

Here's the After picture of our master bedroom now that the walls are a dark and moody blue. Maybe the best part is I was at work while the painters were here, so I walked in and found -- as if by magic -- the room no longer minty green but a bold blue. That's pretty awesome. They also painted the trim an eye-popping white, which I just love against this blue. And the angle is a dark beige-y, tan color that I hope goes with the headboard. I spent the evening cleaning and re-hanging the drapes, and moving the furniture back into position. It will be a while before I dare hang anything in here. I'm too in love with the walls to put too many holes in them right now. So, just in case I'm looking for this information later: The walls are "Everard Blue" by Benjamin Moore . And the tray is "Curly Willow" by Behr . Now, does that furniture look too dark against the walls or is it just me? And wouldn't a lighter wood or white look fabulous agains...

France and the Third Baby

Odd fact of the day .... The French government pays for a mother’s tummy tuck after the birth of her third child (you do have to have at least 3 babies to qualify). Found on this blog about raising kids in Southern France. Yes, I'm day-dreaming again. Related posts: All the fancy quotes My love of France runs deep, people

So Long, Hanukkah Part Two

And just as quickly it started (in New Jersey, on the night of Thanksgiving, no less), Hanukkah is over.  Our eight nights were full of fun and squealing! And lighting many candles, of course. We missed one night because we were in a hotel room after spending the whole day driving home from New Jersey -- and I just didn't have the wherewithall to pull out the menorah.  Speaking of menorah, we've replaced our old, wax-filled menorah with this lovely silver beauty given to us by David's mother. It belonged to her mother and sat in the dining room for years. Isn't it pretty?! And, the wax cleans off it much easier, so we're sure to hang on to this one for many Hanukkahs to come. I'm a sucker for traditions.  Here's some photos of the last two nights: Leah Lighting the Candles - in an Eli Manning Jersey, No Less Alice Lighting in a Top She Calls her Genie Shirt David Constructing the Cardboard Pirate Ship The Last BIG Gift?
