Powder Room {Before & After}

I have finally procured a piece of art for the one big wall in the powder room and am beyond thrilled to cross another room off the impressively extensive list we started with three years ago.  (Though, serial decorators never really cross anything off the list for too long.)

Here’s the before.  Unlike in the still untouched master bathroom, we were fortunate to start with a nice sink and decent floors down here.  (Please excuse the incredibly crass pic with the potty seat up – in my defense, I didn’t actually own the house when I snapped it and I certainly didn’t want to go touching the potty until it had been fully sanitized.)

And here’s the after!  It’s a tiny little room that’s crazy hard to photograph.  Not to mention, there’s not a lick of natural light so it just doesn’t come across as pretty in pictures as it is in person.  I know toile’s heyday has kind of come and gone, but I personally still love it.  And my number one decorating rule?  Go with what you love!

I’ve been back and forth on a rug and, quite frankly, couldn’t find one I loved.  Besides, you can only imagine the things that happen in this sweet little room with two little boys…

So, that wraps up the teeniest space in our house!

SO excited for the features on A Stroll Thru Life and French Country Cottage!!!

Parrotheads

Atlanta parrotheads united at Lakewood to spend a day tailgating and cocktailing in festive anticipation of Jimmy Buffett taking the stage last night.  It’s a revered and not to be missed tradition in this family – I think I’ve only been absent from two shows in my eighteen years (gasp!) in Atlanta.   With sangria,… Read More

The Optimist

Y’all, I was positively beside myself to spend Wednesday evening dining at The Optimist, Midtown West’s chicest new eatery, with the marvelous gals behind calliespondence and Buncolator.  I swear, befriending Callie, Catherine and Lindsay is one of the best things to come from this little blog!  Coming on the heels of JCT Kitchen – only… Read More
