Bathroom Makeover - Part 2 Reveal!

Happy weekend! 
I am super excited to share with you how our bathroom makeover turned out! I should say MY bathroom makeover...Eric didn't really have much input on this one.  
Click HERE to see Part 1 of this bathroom transformation.

Remember when everything looked like this? Kind of lame...very boring. 
Soooo much beige. 
To defeat the blah, I came up with this little mood board: 
Well check out what some fresh paint and new accessories can achieve! 
Mood board meets real life: 
JAZZ HANDS!!!!!! 
The blue makes everything look so fresh! Like diving into a cool swimming pool on a scorching July afternoon. And how about that purple mirror!? Every morning this glorious purple vision greets me, makes getting up just a little less horrible. 
Who is the fairest of them all?
Another project I tackled for this bathroom was to make a mini curtain for the window. This adorable guy was just one yard of fabric, some no-sew tape to hem everything up, and two tension rods. I simply measured how big I wanted my final curtain to be, added some extra on the sides for a hem, and created a loop for the rods at the top and bottom. 
Status? Super tickled with myself :) 
Lastly, to pop that coral out of the curtains I brought in a new bath mat. Our old one was looking pretty sad, and this one from World Market is just so fabulous! 
The grey shower curtain was a nice little find at Marshalls, and it was about time for some new bath towels. Mine were from college and feeling pretty scratchy.  
All and all, I am EXTREMELY stoked about my peacock-meets-coral-fusion bathroom. The pattern in the curtain is tribal but playful, and the bathmat just pops off the floor with happiness. 
Nothing like a totally pulled together room to get the weekend started! Now let's see how long it stays this pulled together.

Kitchen Curtains = DONE!

Happy Monday! This weekend was absolutely GORGEOUS! I hope you were able to get outside at some point and soak up some rays from that wonderful sunshine. 
My weekend was quite eventful. Friday night was prom at Eric's high school, and since he was in charge of the after-prom I got to help chaperon! The whole thing was a huge success and the students had a great time. Of course that meant we didn't get to bed until 5am Saturday morning...yeah, bit rough. 
Saturday I headed to Muncie and hung out with my sister Angie. I also was able to meet up with a great friend of mine and spent hours catching up, it was awesome. That night Angie and I stayed up just talking, and before we knew it, 3am rolled around making it the second night in a row I was up WAY later than I ever am. 
Needless to say I was a bit sluggish this morning. 

OK, enough about how I'm slowly turning into an old lady who can't miss her bedtime. 
I got back to Cincy early Sunday, and rounded up Eric to help me finish these dang curtains! 
This has been the scene in our dinning room for way too long. Two hours later and our kitchen no longer looked like this...
It looked like this! 
It's all about the accessories people. 
I am just tickled with how these turned out! The pop of orange is just what that wall needed to break up the white. 
It did take some trial and error to get them perfect, but once the first one was complete, the second one went super quick. The fabric we chose is from fabric.com if anyone is wondering. 
On another note, I can now add "can sew a straight line" to my crafty resume. 
Finally, a little throw-back to what our kitchen originally looked like. 
Transformation Tuesday  Monday!
Did you get any major projects done this weekend? It would have been a perfect time to start crossing things off that backyard to-do list.
