Fall 2016 One Room Challenge

 Such Inspiration.

I have had this image from One Kings Lane saved for ages. 

I love every.single.thing about this. 

I want our Master Bathroom to feel like this one.
Clean.
Fresh.
White.
Coral in there somewhere.
Beachy/Tropical.
Relaxing. 

Am I dreaming?
I mean I don't have fabulous marble floors. Or a claw foot tub. Or that view. Or room for a bamboo writing desk  I mean, somedays its amazing that two people manage to get teeth brushed at the same time in our space much less pen a note at a writing desk in the Master Bathroom :)

But I think we can aim for the "feeling" of this space.
And I'll keep hoping that someday I have a clawfoot tub and a beach view out the window!!

But so you can really appreciate the "after" that will happen on the 6th Thursday of this event here are a few sad and scary "befores:"

(bad iphone pics but honestly no photo enhancing app was gonna help this situation!)


I rolled up the rug weeks ago because... I can't remember why. 
Bamboo blinds found on sale. Paint. Drop cloth. Ready to go. 
That pile has been there a while. Sadly not ORC related. Just waiting.

 Faux bamboo china cabinet turned linen closet.

 It's dingy yellow-y cream but I have colorful plans for this gem.

It sat in a smoker's home before I got it so it took a week of treatments

 to get the smell out but it worked!! 

Whaaat?? You don't store your bamboo mirrors and homeless art in your garden tub?? 

And speaking of garden tubs - I hope this trend never comes back around.

 Oy!! The 80's called and wants their tub back!

Ok, that's enough scary for now even if it is Halloween month!

Follow on Instagram between posts!!
And over on the Calling It Home blog

Or if you are looking for something less scary check out my past ORC's. 
I think we keep getting better at it!!
