My Hall Bathroom

Oh how I hate my hall bathroom. The time is coming soon, when I FINALLY get to take a sledgehammer to the ugly green tile walls. :) Months ago I had planned to paint the walls in the bathroom black. I have decided that black is to goth. lol I will stick with black walls in our basement, whenever we finish it.



I am leaning towards a yellow and white color scheme. Of course I made a design board....



Thank Goodness for IKEA. They have new bathroom stuff at their store! Stuff I LOVE!

The Lillangen Sink ~ comes in 3 different sizes!

I haven't decided if I want white walls or yellow walls. I also don't know how much tile I want on the walls. I plan to just do the shower area and install glass shower doors. I want the bathroom to be very contemporary. The shower area will be subway tile. Like this....

The penny round tile is what I would love to put on the floor. I really like this bathroom...


Does any one have suggestions on having glass shower doors if you have kids? Is this a BAD idea? Maybe I should stick with just a shower curtain. I would save ALOT of money that way. Hopefully in the next few months my husband & I will find time & money to remodel our bathroom FINALLY!

My New White Office

I decided to move my office into our guest bedroom. We plan to use my OLD office as a nursery when the time comes. The walls were painted white in the guest bedroom from when I thought I was going to do it in the "gun & love" theme. I like the white walls with all my "office stuff". Color might make it feel to busy. I have enough color with all my STUFF!




I still have the dirty & GROSS looking blinds as the window treatments. These were put up by the people that lived in our house before us, NOT ME. I hate blinds.



My new office is now only in a 10x10 room. I lost alot of space, but everything still seems to fit in the new room. I still have some more things to do in this room, so I am sure there will be more pictures of it in the future. :)

I decided to buy a MAC!

My Laptop that I have been using for close to 4 years now is getting sluggish. It doesn't run very well when I use photoshop! I am loving my new computer so far! I hope to design wonderful things with it. :)

I finally started to paint some of the trim on the back of our house. It needs so much work. Its been very hot here in Ohio the last few weeks. Its making it hard for me to want to go outside and paint.



All the paint is gone from water damage. I will be working on painting all this the rest of the summer I am sure. My husband is going to finally start putting the white siding on the back of the house.

Here is my cat Norman being cute!



I have spent alot of time this month trying to make my blog more organized and have a nicer look. I really appreciate everyone who stops by. Thank You! :)

Victoria Secret Bedroom

I designed and decorated this room back in May 2007. This room was for a 14 year old girl named Ashley. Sadly the photos I took were blurry. My digital camera died about a week later after the photos were taken.
Please see my NEW POST about this room {HERE}


This is one of my favorite rooms I have ever done. (Probably because of all the pink!) I found the bedding on Victoria Secret's website and used it as my inspiration.
I painted the canvas over the bed to match the "Pink Love" pillows. The stripes I painted came out great also. It was really fun to design this room!

Rejected Decorating Projects

Some decorating ideas seem great when you first think them up. Then you try it, or you live with it for awhile, and it just doesn't work as planned.

Hallway Photo Frame Wall (January 09)

I love picture frames hung together on a wall. My plan was to spray paint all the black frames white. (which meant more "work" I didn't need in my life.) My hallway is narrow and the frames made it feel closed in. After about 5 months I decided they needed to come down. I have new plans for this area in the near future.

Landscaping ~ White Gravel (August 07)

I love white gravel. The problem is you have to buy a million bags to fill one flower bed. Since we ended up turning our red house into a white house the red mulch looks better now anyways.

Bathroom ~ circles painted on the ceiling (November 07)

Well, you can hardly even see the circles I painted on the ceiling. Painting a ceiling is terrible!!!! It is one of my least favorite things to do. It is a good thing that I didn't paint circles on the whole ceiling, since our roof leaks in this bathroom!!! We have to redo the drywall in this room since our roofer was an idiot.

Guest Bedroom ~ Gun Theme (Feb 09)

I had this room over halfway decorated when I decided I hated it. I love everything on the design board. I ended up not liking it because I painted the walls white in the room. If I would of done black walls I think I would of loved it. It's okay though because this week I made the guest bedroom my new office. I wanted to make my office the "nursery" when ever my husband and I decide to start trying to get pregnant.
