Yay! and Nooooo!! The Vanity, the tub, & MAJOR CRISIS!!

April 21, 2017 · In: Bathroom, Before and After, Interior Design


IMG_9165-1.jpg

Bathroom Remodel
From a distance it all looks like its coming together perfectly.  The vanity is in.  The TUB is in!!!  Yay!!!  And everything fits!!  Double yay!!  I was extremely anxious about those two things fitting and have measured at least eight times.  You sweat these details when each piece costs over $2,000.  It’s a HUGE investment.  Do I think it will pay off?  Absolutely… if it actually FITS!  Whew!  Crisis averted!

But then… MAJOR CRISIS!!

Waaahhh!  The vanity is IN… Literally.  IN.  THE. WALL.  Noooo!!  And of course all of the measurements for the pipes and lighting are based on this piece so everything has to be redone.

Then there is the tile on the shower.  It’s vertical and looks like a throwback to the 70’s which I would normally be in to, except somehow it makes me think of carpet in the bathroom and it’s a little too funky weird for my “english countryside” theme.

And of course my husband is out of town, so who has to talk to the contractor?  Me.  Have I mentioned that I hate conflict?  I actually thought about leaving both just to avoid the awkward conversation with my contractor… but my husband was adamant about having it fixed.  Triple gulp… wish me luck! (And don’t forget to check out the video below!)

Would you fix these issues or leave them?

GOOD NEWS: The tub is in and there is room for the vanity!!

    I would have the shower threshold tiles redone to follow the pattern in the shower. And, I would have the vanity centered to the wall too.

Comment TREE to get the link!!! 🎄 ✨ 

Sorry to break from fall for a minute but the Grand Duchess is BACK IN STOCK!! I waited a year to get mine last year and they sold out so fast that I couldn’t get more for our own home or projects so I already bought two more!! They are WORTH THE HYPE!! I’m tearing up just thinking about how pretty it is with the twinkling lights (& Jack is trying to convince me to put them up now! Haha!)

But seriously, this tree is 1/5 of the price of the designer versions and is truly exquisite!

Ok! I’ll stop talking so you can go get yours!  Yipppeeeee!!!!!

Comment SHOP to get the links & more styling hacks!! 

Guys! I’m so pumped! I love creating a living space meant to dine in and that’s what we’ve created here! It’s luxe, warm, inviting, smells incredible and gives a sense that you want to linger forever!

Oh, and did I mention that it’s loaded with budget friendly finds & styling hacks? We’ve used everything from dinnerware from Amazon to glassware from IKEA to little marble bowls loaded with little nuts & treats from @hmhome !! 

The baskets, hurricanes, and bowls overflowing with wood and pine cones definitely give a nod to the fall season as do the warm brown velvet curtains (another Amazon find!) 

The only question we have to answer is- what’s for dinner?!
