House Tour: Guest Bathroom

June 16, 2010 by Aliesha

I still have lots that I want to do to our guest bathroom (known to us as “the pink bathroom”), but I thought I’d share what we’ve done so far. This is the main bathroom that guests and overnight visitors use, since it is next to the guest bedroom and the living room. Eventually we would like to put a tall shelf behind the door that we can use for open storage of necessities (such as towels) as well as to display decorative items.

We inherited the pepto bismol pink tiling and the vintage floral wallpaper. I’ve tried to tone-down the pink a little bit by using a gold shower curtain, cream and gold towels, and cream rugs.
This room has lots of light

Love these towels (Better Homes and Gardens) from Walmart! Monogrammed washcloths were a bridal shower gift from my sister-in-law Stephanie.
The tub is perfect for relaxing!

House Tour: Master Bedroom

June 1, 2010 by Aliesha

Yesterday Tad and I spent a good bit of time working on our bedroom! We put together two nightstands (from Ikea!), set up lamps (I got these last summer), put winter clothes in storage, straightened, took down old curtains, put up new rods and curtains, and rearranged a few things! We love the new look. Love these lamps… and the new nightstands! Can you guess whose side of the bed this is? (Hint: the book titles are The Sword and Eragon.)
The old curtains were probably almost as old as the house! We love our new Ikea Vivan curtains (so much that we bought them for every room of the house!). I still need to get the wrinkles out and hem them, but I was excited to hang them up and see how they looked!
This old trunk houses our winter bed linens.
Our wicker laundry hamper lives in the corner.

House Tour: The Other Side of the Kitchen

April 28, 2010 by Aliesha

Curious what the other side of our kitchen looks like? I’ll be honest, back when these photos were taken, this side of the kitchen was a total disaster! Boxes and “stuff” everywhere with no organization whatsoever! But when we came across this bamboo baker’s rack at Aldi (marked down to $22), we knew we had found the solution to our mess. I put the rack together on Monday evening while Tad was making a table. We’re still trying to decide how we’re going to use all the new-found space, but for now at least our beautiful toaster oven has a home!
Plenty of room for other kitchen wares. Ideally, we are going to paint all the paneling and wood trim in our kitchen eventually, so I think the bamboo will look much better when contrasted with crisp white walls behind it!
I love how you can see my (slightly distorted) baby bump in the reflection on the toaster oven! Drawers contain picnic silverware and extra sponges at the moment.
And, lastly, a picture of our…*drumroll please* newly organized broom closet!
