Mirror collages...




So I have been struggling with an idea for my dining room for over a year now I think... I just could not decide what it was that I wanted to do.  I have this weird window that makes the wall kind of hard to decorate.  I have debated over vintage doors, vintage mirrors, starburst mirrors all kinds of art and I just could not commit to any one thing.  So it finally has come to an end- I needed to fix it and then things just seem to fall into line.  It's always so nice when that happens.  I found this picture on Pinterest the other day and fell deeply in love!

I painted the walls in there Restoration Hardware Slate which I LOVE but the mirror I picked was just not doing it for me.  So I think I am going to give the vintage mirror/frame collage idea a go.  I originally had a reclaimed wood mirror collage.   So the clincher was when I received an email from a reader who owns a company that makes beautiful antiqued mirrors (which I have been searching for someone for a long time).  Leftbank Collection makes all types of antiqued mirrors which is perfection for this little project of mine as I can vary the style of the mirrors so they look collected over time and I can fit them to some vintage frames too.



I have always wanted to do this somewhere.. now I just have to find the right spot!

I love love the plain jane mirror here... so me!  I will definitely need to use one of these.

I am so excited!!!  I am going to see what I can find at the flea market over the next few months and fill in from there.

Final Christmas Touches

Our last presents are being wrapped, we're cleaning up the house, and making some good food, all in preparation for this weekend. Is it just me or did Christmas sneak up quickly this year?! 
Today I'm sharing the final touches we put on our family room.  The living room/dining room is more elegant and traditional, while the family room is a little more fun and colorful. In posting these pictures I've realized we have a thing for snow globes, snowmen and golden retrievers, of course (:

We can't forget to hang our sweet pup, Shasta's, old stocking! She loved that thing (: She'll always be a part of our family!


Then in my room I added a simple snowflake garland made from Target ornaments:

What things do you still have to do before the 25th?!


Remember to savor the moments in the next few days ahead and always remember the real reason for Christmas- the birth of our Savior (:
Love,

Dressed up for Christmas..








We had some freinds over on Saturday night for a holiday dinner party so I spent most of the morning with my daughter decorating the tree and the rest of the house.  We are ready now.. bring on the Christmas.  I just have to wrap up some gifts and finish a bit of shopping before I can completely relax and kick my feet up (as if that will ever happen).    I changed things up a little this year but it is generally the same as the last..

Wishing you a lovely start to a very busy week!

Our Master Bath...




It has taken a while, a long while, but our Master Bath is finally done.  I am so excited to have it complete and be able to use it again!  It is clean and simple just as I had hoped.  I am still working on accessories and I feel like I want to add something to the walls, but for all intents and purposes it is complete.


We finally decided to use the wall mounted faucets which I am very happy we did, it is just a little bit different from the norm.  We mounted them just above the back splash and they are great with the vessel sinks from Kraus.





I love the Walker Zanger tile accent, it is just what we needed for a little something special in the shower.


We used soapstone on the counter and bath tub.  Which is so pretty, a little delicate but it is perfection.


The counter is the perfect spot for a few little things like my new vintage vanity mirror from the Pasadena flea market and my new Barr Co. candle.  The cabinet we converted has a lot of storage so I can keep everything tucked away.


I think this is one of my favorite things!!  I love the custom sconces from Cleveland Art.  They are so beautiful the pictures do not even do them justice.  They were the last pieces to be put in and they truly finished the space up.













The shower was really hard to photograph so this is the best way to see it.  We opted for the rain shower head, love it, and a completely glass enclosure.  The remodel was a lot more work than I thought but a great experience, and I am so happy with the results.

Master Bath Updates



Our Master Bath updates are well under way!  I could not be more excited to get this project completed.  I chose all of the pieces very slowly, which is not normal for me- I was having a tough time making choices.  For the shower we are using Walker Zanger Studio Moderne  Petit Imperial in Jute as the inset with the small matching field tile and trim, I LOVE it!  It looks so amazing!  The sink will be a free standing piece with a limestone top, the kraus vessel sinks, Kholer wall mounted faucets and custom mirrors and lighting. 

This is what the bathroom looked like last week (below).  Which was making me crazy.  Since then we have pulled all the tile as well as the mirror, sinks and cabinets, they were so bad.  I will be giving you an update next week on our progress, which I am excited to say does not included exposed insulation!
