Petite Master Bathroom BEFORE & AFTER


Happy Hump Blog Day!  That sounds a little weird right?  I’ll have to come up with a more catchy term for blogging Wednesday.  This week is a busy one for us and the next three days are looking to be long ones.  Now that we’ve fully recovered from the holiday season we are diving full force into the first of the new projects for the year.  I’m REALLY pumped for what we are working on right now.  I feel lucky to have clients with such a diverse variety of  taste and wants.   We’ve been having lots of fun with tile (mostly marble,) wallpaper, fabrics, rugs, leather, wood, metal, lighting, lighting and more lighting.  It’s a droolfest over here between me and my assistant, Rachael.

Speaking of drooling, today I have a little treat for you.  My favorite teeny bathroom yet! Design and built by Dad and me!  And No I don’t say that about all of them.  This is a project we completed last year that I teased a few weeks ago.  Calling it a master bathroom is kinda funny because its the size of a postage stamp, but alas Philadelphia is full of old houses with teeny bathrooms and we have to do the best we can to steal inches and make them as efficient as possible.

Here are a few BEFORES.  Be warned, they ain’t pretty…

The old bath cabinet was pretty tired looking and only had one shelf for storage under the sink.  And then there was that old mosaic tile…

We weren’t able to gain any more space on this wall, but we could at least improve the looks and function.  We added drawers for easier storage.    We did a cerused oak on the vanity.  The cabinetry is framed with slab inset drawers…. so classic yet modern.  We added a little warmth to the vanity with brushed bronze cup pulls.

BEFORE: The wallpaper was loud and the medicine cabinet was a little too high.

AFTER:  Luckily my clients were open to give wallpaper a second try.  We lightened it up with The Woods.  I love this warmer coloway- It plays off the wood cabinets and brassy fixtures so well.

BEFORE- The shower was teeny and cave-like!

We stole a little space from the linen cabinet outside to make she shower longer.  The linen closet is still plenty deep to hold towels and items, but not full closet depth.  Not much lost there.  Plus in a stroke of luck we discovered there was extra space behind the back wall of the shower.  When does that happen?  Mid-construction our shower looked liked this….

AFTER… And now the shower is a light, open, marble dream!  There is enough space for a petite bench.  Talk about luxury. 😉

And now.  Va-Va-Voom!!

We changed the bathroom door to a pocket door so now its not always in the way.

Top 10 Murder Victims Who Solved Their Own Murders

Image
Crime Lyra Radford August 9, 2017 The criminal justice system can be a bit tricky. Even if investigators think they know who committed a crime, they still have to be able to link a suspect to the scene without a shadow of a doubt. This is great for those wrongfully accused, but it’s downright infuriating when it helps the guilty get away with murder. Between stalled police investigations , poorly collected evidence , and subpar autopsy performances , the incompetence of the living can be enough to make the dead roll over in their graves. Or perhaps rise right up to solve their murder cases themselves. 10 The Ghost Of Fred Fisher Had To Point Out Where His Body Was In 1826, Australian farmer Frederick Fisher vanished . His shady neighbor, George Worrall , waved a big red flag when he suddenly remembered that his pal Fred had signed his entire farm over to George before mysteriously skipping town . Four months passed before the ghost of Fred Fisher had had enough of the whole charade a...

Review: Crabtree & Evelyn Verbena and Lavender Bath and Shower Gel

Image
I know that there’s no sane person in the world who’ll turn down a gift, but I’m always particularly happy whenever I receive a package from Crabtree & Evelyn. In fact, I’m always secretly hoping for a heavy package – why? Because then it means that there’s a shower gel inside . I’m quite a fan of their shower gels, so much that the last time I received the Crabtree & Evelyn Conditioning Hand Wash , I actually asked the PR girl if I could use it as a body shower gel instead. I vaguely remember receiving a stunned silence, which was probably my cue to switch to a less socially-awkward topic, such as the weather. heh. Anyhoos, here’s my two cents’ worth about their new Verbena and Lavender Bath and Shower Gel – and no, you don’t get no photos of my hawt hawt bodeh in the shower muahahaha. Crabtree & Evelyn Verbena and Lavender Bath and Shower Gel 250ml ($30) The Verbena & Lavender de Provence Collection comprises the following and is available at all Crabtree & ...
