Hallway Rest room Plans Are Coming Collectively

My thoughts can by no means be nonetheless. I’m all the time considering, all the time planning, all the time dreaming. And after mentioning the opposite day that I wish to make some modifications within the hallway lavatory, I haven’t been capable of cease eager about it. It’s been our major lavatory ever since we purchased this home. It’s been the one lavatory for showering and preparing for the day for 9.5 years now. However now that we’ve got an actual, completed, functioning grasp lavatory, this room solely must be a visitor lavatory.

So with its new objective as solely a visitor lavatory, it simply feels proper to make some modifications. I made a decision that I needed to do some updates as a result of, after dwelling with the vainness in its present colour for a few years, I’ve determined that it’s simply too orange for my style. I’d prefer it to be a bit extra pinkish coral. Right here’s what it appears like now.

After which I shared that the bathe curtain is a bit too “main colours” for me as nicely. I dug into my cloth stash, discovered the leftover cloth from the lounge pillows (aka, my favourite floral cloth ever), and draped it over the bathe curtain rod to see what that may seem like. I added this image to the publish just a few days in the past, however I added it as an edit later within the day, so lots of you might have missed it.

It’s good. I really like that cloth a lot, so I’m undoubtedly going to make use of that. And that provides me a number of colours to select from for the brand new vainness colour. I’ll select a colour from these huge pink flowers.

Effectively, after I shared these upcoming modifications just a few days in the past, I remembered that I nonetheless have half a slab of the Vicostone Elysian quartz that we used for the grasp lavatory counter tops. I needed to buy an entire slab, they usually solely used half of it for the lavatory. It’s been sitting on the countertop place with my title on it, and I’m positive they’d wish to get it out of their approach. The plan had been for them to ship it to my home, and for me to retailer it till I’m prepared to make use of it (I had been eager about our future laundry room), however I might use the remaining within the hallway lavatory!

I nonetheless have to go decide up the pattern and check it out on this lavatory, however I’m very hopeful that it’ll work. The ground and the accent tile within the wainscoting each have grey in them. I’m simply hoping it’s the proper grey.

Right here’s a reminder of what that countertop appears like…

It’s grey, nevertheless it reads as mild and vibrant, slightly than darkish. Whereas I’ve beloved the heat of the wooden countertop in that rest room, and I’ve been completely amazed at how nicely a pine countertop has held up in there (particularly contemplating that it’s been our major lavatory all this time), I feel I’m prepared for a change. And because the slab is already paid for, I’d simply must pay fabrication prices.

I’m unsure what to do with the wooden ceiling, although. I nonetheless love the way in which it appears, and I like the heat it provides to the room. However y’all can inform me what you assume. Maintain the darkish stained wooden? Or paint it white just like the music room ceiling? I really feel like as soon as the wooden counter tops are gone, the wooden ceiling will appear a bit random because it gained’t relate to anything within the room.

Right here’s one other peek of the room as it’s now the place you may see the ceiling…

And for comparability, right here’s the identical ceiling (each are made with 1/4-inch plywood minimize into 4-inch strips) painted white…

So you may let me know what you assume. Maintain it stained, or paint it white?

I additionally talked about the opposite day that I wish to change out the fixtures to gold/aged brass. This lavatory is the one room in the home that has brushed nickel metallic in it. The remainder of the home has both black or gold/aged brass metallic. So I’ve spent a bit time taking a look at taps and sconces.

Taps aren’t that thrilling, however sconces are very enjoyable to buy. I’ve been retaining my eye out for some fairly sconces whereas I scroll Instagram, and the opposite day, I used to be stopped mid-scroll by some superb sconces in a rest room. I ended instantly and looked for them to see how a lot they price. Right here’s the sconce…

That’s the Visual Comfort Alberto wall sconce in Plaster White, and it prices $439.00. In fact it does. And y’all know me higher than to assume I’d contemplate paying nearly $900 for 2 sconces for a visitor lavatory.

After which I noticed this one by the identical firm. That is the Visual Comfort Alberto wall sconce in the medium size, additionally within the White Plaster end.

I favored that one much more, nevertheless it’s $579. As a lot as I like it, I might by no means justify paying $1158 for 2 sconces. They’re little artistic endeavors, so there’s nothing incorrect with their value. I’m simply not their goal buyer. I’m extra of a Goal buyer. 😀

However I wasn’t fairly prepared to surrender on the thought of flower wall sconces, so a bit extra looking out led me to this sconce…

That’s the Meridian Lighting 19-inch LED wall sconce from 1-800Lighting. Do I prefer it as a lot because the Visible Consolation mild? Nope. It doesn’t have that hand sculpted plaster look to it. I doesn’t look as substantial. And it doesn’t have the gold contained in the petals. However at $122 (on sale proper now for $103.70), it’s extra in my price range. And if I actually needed to, I feel I might do some DIYing and make the cheaper sconces look extra just like the costly ones.

The entire sconces additionally are available in a gold end. Right here’s what the cheap one appears like in gold.

After seeing what the costly sconces seem like in a gold end (a very stunning gold leaf look), the cheap sconce in gold appears low cost to me. The humorous factor is that I in all probability would have beloved it had I seen that sconce first. However seeing the costly ones first set my expectations too excessive.

In order of this second, I’m leaning in direction of the cheap white ones with some DIYing to make them look extra just like the costly ones. I like a problem. 🙂

I nonetheless don’t know after I’ll make these modifications. I’m actually centered on the house fitness center proper now, and I don’t wan to lose momentum on that. And I actually do have to get my studio completed. However the studio will probably be such a giant job, with extra cupboard constructing than I’ve ever performed, so I would have to take just a few days right here and there to deal with different enjoyable initiatives in order that I can keep motivated. I’ve a sense that it’ll be throughout these breaks that I’ll deal with these initiatives within the hallway lavatory.

Addicted 2 Adorning is the place I share my DIY and adorning journey as I rework and beautify the 1948 fixer higher that my husband, Matt, and I purchased in 2013. Matt has M.S. and is unable to do bodily work, so I do nearly all of the work on the home on my own. You possibly can be taught extra about me right here.

I hope you’ll be part of me on my DIY and adorning journey! If you wish to comply with my initiatives and progress, you may subscribe under and have every new publish delivered to your e mail inbox. That approach you’ll by no means miss a factor!
