House Tour: Decor and the Dog

The thing that I love the most about Michelle's house tour over at Decor and the Dog, is that everything has a place and everything is in its place. It's a nice change of pace from my crazy little house with 2 toddler boys running a muck. Sit back and relax. Her home is absolutely lovely! Keep an eye out for little updates from pic to pic. You'll love them!

Isn't it just lovely!?! And that powder room, is. to. die. for! The entire house seems so clean and crisp and relaxing. I just love it! Check out the rest of her blog to personally witness her awesomeness! 

Medicine Cabinet or Mirror?

As I've been collecting ideas for our Master Bath "Someday Renno", I've been trying to decide if I want built in Medicine Cabinets or not. I definitely DO NOT want the ginormo builder grade mirror from the mid 80's when the house was built. I also know that I DO want something frame-less. I would prefer to have either without a bulky frame that I will just want to change later. If I get one with NO frame then the chances of it being out-dated are smaller. I just need to decide what will work best for us.


 If I were to have a medicine cabinet, it would look something like this piece of lovely, from RH.




 However, I would have a hard time convincing myself let alone the hubs to pay a whopping $795 PER cabinet. Thus, this option, no matter how beautiful, is definitely OUT.


Although these are hardly the RH version of a recessed medicine cabinet, these cabinets from HD are a close 2nd and more in my price range.



Since I don't want a framed mirror, what other option is there for a non cabinet, you ask?
Something like this. . .



The first mirror is from the Basement Bathroom completed by Aubrey and Lindsay from
  Aubrey+Lindsays Little House Blog. Isn't it beautiful!?! She MADE it herself! Amazing job if you ask me.

The Second is an exquisite vanity from Michelle at Ten June

Both bathrooms are amazing and feel like a breath of fresh air. You HAVE to check them out! 
(you may notice a similar feel to the bathrooms, yet they are very different and both are beautiful! Which is why I love them)

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the look of the airy swivel mirrors. The only problem is that you either have to have a shelf,
similar to this,

or you have to have ample storage in a vanity or closet for bathroom essentials. My preferred selection would be the swivel mirrors that can be found inexpensively at HD or Lowes. I just have to find the right vanity to accompany them.






Amazing Bathrooms

The Hubs and I have recently been discussing needed changes to our Master Bath. Although these changes aren't going to happen in the immediate future, it has been fun to discuss ideas. as long as we don't mention textiles and a color pallet, the convo stays humane
We've discussed everything from gutting the existing space to getting crazy like, turning my craft room into a ginormo walk-in/dressing room and using the existing walk-in to expand the bath. prob not gonna happen, but it's fun to dream. I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to have a claw foot tub with a separate shower. He would love to have a separate shower and I don't think he would really mind what the tub was. :) Good luck to us in the decision making. Here are some pictures that I've found via Pinterest that have blasted my creative thinking into the next dimension. I can't wait until we eventually get to start this project.
The first 3 photos are from a recent Feature done on Design Sponge and this bathroom's Before and After photos are nothing short of amazing. Don't forget to pick your jaw up off of the floor when you're done looking.








  



Hope you Enjoyed! Have a GREAT Weekend!!
