Hello there lovies- After months of promising you pictures of our master bathroom renovation, I have finally lived up to my promises. Here are the pictures, but first here's a refresher course. You can also take a look { here }, { here } and { here }. I have some loyal California readers that loved our master bathroom just the way it was. I know subway tiles are all the rage now, but every bathroom in our Brooklyn hood had subway tile and so did every bathroom of the houses we looked at in our new Burbia town. 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...

You know I love me some searching through a million sites on the internet.  I can't get enough.  I entered "bathroom sconces" into houzz.com because I didn't LOVE the sconces I had posted about { here } .  They were nice and I liked them a lot, but I wasn't ecstatic about them.  So, "bathroom sconces" lead me to these lovelies.  I thought, "Wow.  These are different."    Dayna Katlin Interiors bathroom- Image from houzz.com  Houzz.com has a section where readers can ask questions about the rooms that people post on the site.  Not everyone answers the questions, but the lovely Dayna Katlin, who designed the above bathroom, was nice enough to tell Houzz readers where she got these sconces: Circa Lighting.  So, my search continued.  Over to Circalighting.com I went.  This is what I found: The sconces from my search on Houzz.com :  Primitive sconce by Clodagh  When I showed these sconce...

Remember when I posted about my dream guest bathroom ?  It's so beautiful I have to post it again- to refresh your memory of course- not because I LOVE it and can't stop looking at it. ;) Image from Town Well, I bought two magazines (a special edition of Domino Magazine and House Beautiful ) the other week.  In BOTH magazines, chandeliers very similar to the one in MY bathroom were featured. I think this means that the above chandelier and I were meant to be.  Don't you? Here's the chandelier featured in Domino Magazine:  Image from Domino Magazine Quick Fixes, Special Edition  Here are the same chandeliers featured in the May issue of House Beautiful: Room designed by Christina Murphy , featured in May 2012  House Beautiful The chandeliers featured in Domino Magazine and House Beautiful are slightly different than the one featured in my dream guest bathroom.  The ones featured in both maga...

This weather stinks! I wish the sun would come out! One of the good things about rain (besides providing water to plants and animals) is that it makes me feel slightly less bad about sitting in front of my computer for hours looking for sconces (lights for those lacking a PhD in lighting terminology. lol) for our master bathroom in our new house (that we still have not moved into- if you're wondering).  Yes, I know it's exciting. Try to contain yourselves, but this is what I have been spending my extra time doing.  Sad, but true. Instead of trying to fit a larger vanity with two sinks into our master bathroom, we decided to buy two smaller vanities, one for me and one for hubby.  My mom said she saw this setup in a model bathroom and it looked pretty good, so we decided to go for it since it would work better in the space that we have.  Take a look at this old picture of our master bathroom: One vanity will go where the sink is and ...
