We had a fun tiling project come up which spurred a mini bathroom renovation in Greta’s bathroom (remember when we introduced it here). We got the floors tiled yesterday and today we’ll grout and then I’ll paint the walls and maybe add wallpaper (or maybe not because I really want to wallpaper her room–I think?) and figure if I want to stain or paint the vanity and all of that fun stuff.
But last night, in the midst of gathering some inspiration and making plans for her space as a whole–bedroom and bathroom, I mean, they should coordinate–I paused after thinking, maybe the walls should be white in her bathroom or something neutral. And then I paused again because my next thought was, “But will that be enough?”
So I don’t know what the walls will be yet. But I often get asked if we sometimes design for our audience instead of for ourselves due to the nature of our blog and I always said NO WAY. I do what I like and don’t worry about if some people don’t like (sometimes I even like it MORE when not everyone likes it). All of that is true. But I also think that I am guilty in designing for our audience in that I’ve noticed, even subconsciously, there are instances where I try to make every room a star when maybe every room shouldn’t be a star. Some rooms need to take on supporting roles, but that’s a mental hurdle I need to overcome because we are doing and, essentially, presenting one room at a time over many years.
At the same time, supporting roles win oscars. Supporting rooms are important. Sometimes a supporting room is the breath you need. Just things I’ve been thinking about…
Other fun things this week
We never really shared the living room side of the Fullmer’s house when we shared the kitchen, because we’ve been waiting to share the beams tutorial until they were available to purchase. But we stopped over earlier this week because Article is having a 30% off sale starting this week and both their sectional and coffee table are from there!
Their sectional is the Burrard in Seasalt Gray  and the coffee table is the Mara.
And their adorable little girl is a natural–I want to eat her!
• This vanity light is amazing!Â
• Here for paint swatch humor.
• I swear my new tumbler has tripled my water intake (I’m such a sucker for marble looking anything!)
• Giving it up for Heidi Caillier and those radius edges all week long!
• Nothing like a 60 degree day in August to make you start thinking about fall. I cleaned out my closet, donated two bags of clothes to my niece and made room for this leopard turtleneck and this supercozy mockneck pullover (at a great price and my fav neck line!) in gray and camel. Also–had soup twice this week. Sorry, not sorry.
Will you be doing another post on the living room? I’m curious about where the rug was sourced from – lovely remodel!
They had the rug, but I think it’s from Overstock
I’m late to comment this week. BUT I love watching you renovate this home. It’s definitely not my style (maybe I wish it were?) and wouldn’t fit in my home, but a girl can love pretty homes, right!? You do you. And, there’s nothing wrong with wanting each room to look, be and feel it’s best. Maybe that makes every room a star and, with this audience member, that’s part of loving being a homebody.
Where is the Fullmer’s living room rug from? I have been looking for something similar!
I’ve watched your paint picking insta-stories. Could you re-share all that info in a post? Those little stories flip through before I’ve finished reading … let alone absorbed all that great info. You’ve got too much to share to just squinch it into insta-stores…
Pretty please?
I learned if you hold your finger on it, it pauses so you can read all. And tap the left side to rewind!
Where is the picture from?
