A very big THANK YOU! is owed to Linda, at Calling It Home, for hosting this crazy incentive to get a space finished. The One Room Challenge is a platform allowing us all to follow along as 20 design bloggers redesign a space. She also allows anyone with a blog to link up and share a makeover we complete in the 6 week time frame.
This is my fourth time participating in the ORC. Our maiden voyage was a complete redo of our laundry room, then we tackled our front porch a year ago, and last fall we did over our son's bedroom. This time around was a face lift on our formerly nondescript master bath. So nondescript in fact that I never even took any adequate before pictures. But I do have some afters!
This was truly just a face lift. There was a lot of paint involved and not a lot of time simply because we were out of town for around half of this 6 week time frame. But I am loving how the deep walls turned out with the crisp trim and high wainscoting. The turquoise vanity really pops and the brass accents really glam it up in my opinion. We did intersperse the brass with some oil rubbed bronze as well because I love me some mixed metals, and I think too much brass can really go over the top. But I love the space so much and it has been so nice to have a finished, "adult" space to get ready in. Even the hubs commented that it was nice to have a grown up space again since we gave up our old really nice bathroom when we moved. The One Room Challenge is such a great kick in the pants to really push through and finish a space, and I'm so glad this round is done.
Now it's time to rest . . . . and go see how everyone else's room turned out!
Oh my! It turned out great Danielle! I love the feature wall, touches of brass, and also the pot with the snake plant. Not to mention you used my favorite color orchid. Excellent job, and I hope the rest of the family enjoy the space :}.
ReplyDeleteThanks Delia! We are so happy with how it turned out and even happier that we are done!
DeleteGreat job! That beadboard is so charming and adds so much interest :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Angela! We are super happy with it!
DeleteLovely! We followed the same design aesthetic--white wainscot with dark upper walls and brass accents. Only you finished--and I didn't! You've done a lovely job! Congrats.
ReplyDeleteThank you Alana! And you will finish yours too! All in good time.
DeleteI really like the high wainscoting too - it really pops against the dark walls :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Nicole! It helps the space from going too dark as well since we don't get a lot of natural light in there.
DeleteWhat a pretty room! I really love those wall shelves!
ReplyDeleteThanks Julie! They are pretty and practical!
DeleteI think the wall color is great! I also like the artwork you've used. Can you tell me where you got it?
ReplyDeleteThanks Brenda! I saw some art I liked on One Kings Lane a long time ago and searched Etsy for the artist. They are by Bernard Buffet.
