Bathroom Wallpaper with Milton & King

DIY Projects

read more

Wallpaper is one of my favorite things to use to bring a pop of color or pattern to a space. After recently painting my bathroom I knew it needed a splash of pattern to bring the space alive! I also knew I didn’t want to introduce a new color. I found the most gorgeous wallpaper from Milton & King and I knew if would be the perfect fit!

There are a few different types of wallpaper on the market, This kind is called paste-the-wall wallpaper, meaning the wallpaper itself is un-pasted and not sticky. To apply this kind of wallpaper all you need is some wallpaper paste. I picked this  kind up from Home Depot and it worked great!

 
You simply apply the paste on the wall with a roller, just like you would if you were painting, and then apply the wallpaper. After you smooth it out, trim the excess and continue!

I have been super pleased with the quality of Milton & King wallpaper. One of my favorite features of this wallpaper is it’s cleanable!! It’s protected with two coats of a specially formulated glaze, making the non-woven base and paper top layer very durable and easy to clean. Dirt, dust, and other marks can be simply cleaned using a damp cloth with soapy water.
This was a fun project with a big statement!! It only took a couple hours to do and I couldn’t be happier with how it turned out. It’s the perfect pop of pattern I was looking for in my master bathroom refresh!

Bedroom Update With HGTV HOME by Sherwin-Williams

It’s a new year and I’m ready for a little refresh!! New paint is one of my favorite ways to give new life to a space without having to spend a bunch of money on a full room remodel. You can transform your room in just a weekend with a few gallons of paint. I fell in love with the HGTV HOME by Sherwin-Williams 2020 Color Collection of the Year, Simply Blissful. I wanted to do something a little more bold so I pushed myself out of my comfort zone and picked 3 colors from this collection that weren’t grey. Can you believe it?! The result is something I’m so excited about!

The shiplap wall in our master bedroom is one of my favorite feature walls and I wanted to try something a little unexpected. When I saw the color Blue Endeavour (HGSW1451) I instantly knew it would be the perfect moody color for this wall.
    
I wanted this color to be the focal point of the room so I painted the rest of the walls with Fundamental White (HGSW4001). It’s the perfect bright white and a wonderful contrast to the Blue Endeavour (HGSW1451), giving the room a clean, crisp feel while letting the blue be the show stopper!
   

Next, we moved on to our master bathroom. We originally had a dark grey color in here. I really wanted to brighten up the space but still have it compliment the new colors in our bedroom. I landed on the Gristmill Greige (HGSW2485). It’s the perfect compliment to the throw pillows on my bed and ties both spaces together perfectly!

I couldn’t be happier with how my bedroom/bathroom update turned out. These three paint colors from the HGTV HOME by Sherwin-Williams Simply Blissful Color Collection are perfect together and completely take the guess work out of picking your colors. You can choose your pallet with confidence knowing that all these colors will work well together and give you a designer inspired look every time! The end result turned out even better than I had imagined!!

Laundry Room Makeover

DIY Projects

read more

I have always loved the idea of having a pretty laundry room. I used to see them all the time on Instagram and Pinterest and thought that one day I would transform my plain, ugly laundry room into something I was proud of. Well last week I made that transformation and I couldn’t be happier! No joke, I actually enjoy doing laundry now, and I find myself looking for things to wash just so I can hang out in there, haha! Come see what we did to make this space beautiful and functional!

The first thing we did was clear everything out, including our old washer and dryer, so we could have a blank space to get the design juices flowing!
Before

Once I figured out my design it was time to get started!! We took down the basic shelf that was installed by our builder and replaced it with beautiful gray wall cabinets! They are much more attractive and give me so much more storage, total win win!
    
The next thing we did was take some left over peel and stick tiles from another project and put them on the back wall behind the washer and dryer. I didn’t love the original color of these tiles so I did a dry brush technique and painted them white, giving them the look and feel of white washed brick!
    
We had an open space next to the washer that I thought would be a perfect laundry folding station, so we installed a matching base cabinet. It has been the best use of space!

The last things we installed were a wood countertop for the base cabinet, and a set of floating shelves between the wall cabinets. This was a super budget friendly project because we used project boards that look similar to butcher block, but cost less than $20 each. Lastly we stained them to match and added a coat of polyurethane!

The biggest and most exciting change we made was the addition of a new washer and dryer set from Samsung. These things make doing laundry a breeze! They are front loaders each with a smaller washer and dryer on top for small loads and delicates. You can literally do 2 loads of laundry at one time, now that’s my kind of laundry!!

Finally, my favorite part, decorating the room! I kept it pretty simple with a fun wood laundry sign, a letter board, some jars, and a little greenery! This project has been one of my favorites and I’m so excited to finally have the pretty laundry room I have always wanted!!
