I promised this post way back in September when we finished the kids’ bathroom. I did not forget! I hope you haven’t all been waiting and waiting and WAITING to paint circles on your walls ever since then. Anyway, here it is! When we redid the bathroom, I knew I wanted round mirrors for it. There’s a vaguely nautical theme … Continue reading
Affiliate links ahead! If you buy something after following my links, I make a small commission, but you don’t pay anything extra. Thanks for supporting Boxy Colonial! When we first moved into this house, the hall bath upstairs was one of the first rooms we dealt with. It didn’t have any mirrors (the house was a foreclosure), so we went ahead and bought mirrors … Continue reading
I should be bringing you another dining room post this week, but I got distracted by the kids’ bathroom instead. Wait, did I say distracted? I meant inspired. Uh huh. The kids’ bathroom has never been blogged about, because we haven’t done a thing with it since pre-blogging days. Right after we moved in, we painted it and hung mirrors (house … Continue reading
This is definitely one of those “why didn’t we do this earlier?!” kind of room makeovers. Redoing our downstairs half bathroom really didn’t take that long (as far as actual time spent doing stuff) and wasn’t that hard. But it’s SO MUCH BETTER now than it used to be. It’s also impossibly hard to take pictures of, so just pretend … Continue reading
How’s everyone doing? We’re in recovery mode from a very eventful Disney trip around here (it involved a lot of fun, but also expensive emergency car repairs and….bedbugs! Not at Disney proper). It had been five years since our last Disney trip, and I’d forgotten how much I love it. Abe was four months old last time, so this was, … Continue reading
Let’s talk about our downstairs bathroom. Better yet, let’s take a look: Up until a few days ago, the bathroom had looked pretty much like this (sometimes with less junk on the counters) since we moved in six years ago. Ugly rusty orange-ish reddish walls, dated light fixtures, a too small mirror…. And for six years I ignored it and … Continue reading
I’m excited to be participating in the My Home Style, Before and After Edition blog hop this week, with a whole bunch of fabulous bloggers. If you’re coming here from The DIY Mommy, welcome! And if you’re a regular reader who’s been around for awhile, you’ve seen my bathroom before, but we’ve made a few updates recently and I’m going … Continue reading
Post contains affiliate links. Thanks for supporting Boxy Colonial! I had these really grand plans for keeping up with blogging while we were out of town. I had photos all ready to edit from both my mom’s porch and Kristi’s bathroom. And then I was also going to do posts with photos of….designy things we saw on the trip: lovely … Continue reading
The last bathroom post! You know, I was all proud of myself for holding back on posting every little update, so that I’d have a real REVEAL to show off in here….but the downside is I kind of feel like these little posts about specific projects afterward are a bit of a let down. So with that enticing introduction out … Continue reading
Posts have been sparse around here because we just got back from a week and a half in California, where we had a great time seeing family and beaches and redwood trees and whatnot. More on that later, but today a quick post with a few more details about the gallery wall in our master bathroom. I’ve been trying to … Continue reading
