We’re 2 weeks into our residence renovation and it looks as if all the things was shifting slowly and now it is all coming down the pipeline directly! Since we needed to transfer out of our condo (see the place we stay right here, it is like a luxurious lodge!), each probability I get I can return residence and examine in on the progress I am sharing on Instagram. Spoiler alert, for the time being it is fairly rotten and the partitions are torn down. You, the fortunate reader, get to see what’s inspiring all of the upcoming modifications, particularly why I am so excited to share our half tub plans!

In case you keep in mind on this publish, we have now already accomplished the kitchen design. We employed somebody to assist make our imaginative and prescient for that room a actuality, however when it got here to the laundry room and half tub, we determined to deal with it ourselves. The half tub was a room that my fiancee stated I might “get bizarre with,” which to me meant I might take the Artwork Deco theme to the intense and do no matter I needed. My web searches led me to the picture above by Lexi Westergaard Design the place I fell in love with the blue shade, painted tile and gold accents. It wasn’t precisely Artwork Deco, however I used to be impressed by its cool look.
Our present half tub is open to the kitchen, and we’re going to shut it off and transfer the laundry room round so you may entry the half tub by means of the laundry room. We’re putting in a pocket door from the laundry to the half tub for some privateness and because the half tub and laundry room will share a flooring, we’re saving some cash by maintaining the tile the identical all through the 2 rooms.
Now the place Lexi expenses 4x our finances for her tile to tile. We simply cannot justify spending all that cash on tile particularly after we need to put the majority of our renovation finances into home equipment. Nonetheless, as luck (and July 4 gross sales) would have it, I discovered an actual reproduction/dupe of the tile for a fraction of the value per sq. foot. We ordered this tile for our laundry room and half tub.
Once I began creating my temper board across the tile, I discovered this wallpaper from Anthropologie and knew it could be the proper accent for our half tub. There isn’t a pure mild on this room so I need to watch out not to herald too heavy and darkish materials. To interrupt up the patterned wallpaper and patterned tile, I made a decision we would put up some boards and batten half approach up the wall. It provides a conventional factor and helps maintain wallpaper prices to a minimal.
I just like the trim look of wallpaper painted in a single shade, so when the wallpaper arrives subsequent week, I will see if I can discover a mild grey or mild cream to color the boards and battens.
As for fixtures, we select to improve all the things. Since we’re going with an Artwork Deco theme, a console sink was the proper option to make a press release whenever you stroll in! This console sink would not include a faucet, so we picked it up from Delta, which is paying homage to outdated European Artwork Deco type. I like these easy mirrors and when I discovered this mild fixture from All Fashionable, I knew it could be excellent to accent our artwork deco theme.
We additionally want some artwork to cowl {the electrical} field, so we’re getting a few of our prints from the Cote d’Azur and frames to cowl the field.
I can not wait to indicate it to you when it is carried out! This is likely to be my favourite room in the home when it is all stated and carried out.
Effectively… that is it Along with Kitchen!
