You must have wondered if I dropped off the face of the planet... I'm still here.  The fam and I were lucky enough to spend a little fun in the sun with good friends and family for the last week.   Nothing like a little fun, sun and r & r to pick up the spirits. I have to admit that there are quite a few house pictures that I have been holding back from you. I promise to be more forthcoming.  More pics coming soon of our Master Bedroom, updates to Hayden's room and a design dilemma that is driving me cray cray. Until then, here are some pictures of the boys' bathroom. Luckily for us, we made only a few minor adjustments that I think went a long way. You've heard me say it once and I'll say it again- nothing wrong with this room, but we wanted to add our own splash to the space.  We also thought that the black and white tiles added some fun and were perfect for a little boys' bathroom.

I was just tiiiiiired of it.  More importantly, though it's not clear from the pictures, the tile needed a pick me up. and what I mean by pick me up is a complete gut job. lol.  Getting there:  Remember the tile palette that we were using? From top left corner going clockwise- tile for shower floor, tile for floor, tile for accent wall behind vanities and tile for accent wall behind the tub.  There was also o...

Hello there! I know.  I know. It's been soooooo long since we last spoke. The new job is kicking my arse.  Luckily I met my first big deadline and I now have time to devote to my 3rd child, StyleBurbia. There has been some progression on the house since we last spoke. So, here we are. Remember the inspiration for my powder room? If not, let's take a lookie. The great thing about inspiration is that you start with an idea and you go with it.  Sometimes you get something really close to your inspiration, but if things happen more organically you end up with something completely different with your personal touches. Ok. This is what the powder room looked like before we bought the house. Nothing wrong with it, but definitely more traditional than our taste.  Anyone want to buy a hand painted sink? Remember how many mosaic tiles I looked at? For a refresher course, take a look { here } and { here }. ...
