Powder Room Makeover | Reveal Photos

Powder Room Makeover - featuring before and after photos! | spotofteadesigns.com

On Monday I shared the before shots of our powder room and why it wasn’t working for us.

Half Bathroom Makeover - Before photo | spotofteadesigns.com

In short, we hated the wall paper, open vanity, lack of hidden storage, and shiny hardware.

Insert a winter blizzard and Derek got motivated to make the change! He removed all the fixtures and hardware, began spackling and sanding the walls and I got to making purchases of the items we had found that were a perfect fit.

Here’s the after! All that stayed the same was the toilet.  I LOVE the new color (Behr Comforting Green, which I know looks more blue than green here). Goodbye stripes!

Derek installed a new vanity with a Euro style vanity that was needed for that narrow space. It gives us more storage, hiding the plumbing underneath which our previous one didn’t have. He even went as far as removing the molding on the wall so it would stay flush against the wall, which is much needed with this lack of a backsplash sink.

A new oval mirror (that doesn’t tilt since the other one moved all the time) was installed.  It has an almost sea glass look to it and it LOVE IT!

Pretty new lights hang above which no longer has that shiny silver look.

In fact, the hardware and accessories now match!

Instead of the small glass shelf that gave us no storage, we now have an overhead storage unit in case Derek needs to put any of his toiletry items for those early mornings where he’s trying to get out the door without waking the girls.

Previously our toilet paper holder was on the wall on the left but that made it hard for little ones to reach which wasn’t helping the potty training situation. Instead we moved it to the wall to the right. I’m still undecided if I need some wall art on that large blank wall. What do you think? Leave it blank or find/make some art?

Who can forget the nice fluffy rug with the fun print. Why did I ever have a solid BROWN rug in this bathroom when I could have this?!

And because I always love me a before and after, here ya go:

I LOVE that everything coordinates. Yes it’s just a small bathroom but this feels much more “us” and more functional for our family. #2016goals

    I love the mirror :) Can you come plan out our upgrades?! Hopefully I will have some before and afters for you the next few weeks :) Fingers crossed that the IKEA hack I found goes well.

    I think why not hang artwork up on the wall. It looks fine without it but I bet artwork would look very nice too. Always fun to add something to a blank wall.

    Maybe add a nice indoor plant on top of the cabinet hanging over the toilet.

      Thanks for the input! I think there might be a follow up post with artwork since that seems to be the consensus! :)

Some highlights of what my yard produced this year Some highlights of what my yard produced this year:
🎃 Gourds - currently 42 harvested and drying, but tons more coming!
🌞 Yellow Roses - these 2 plants bloom at least 4 times in spring and summer!
🍅 Tomatoes - tons of Roma and Supersweet 100 breeds used for appetizers, sauces and salads. Happy to grow and to gift these away!
🧄 Garlic - planted last fall and harvested in June. Doing this again this October! Should I also do onions?
💜 Lavender - The bees love them. I missed the window to dry them but putting that on my list to try next year. Would you want a little satchel of lavender? 
🥒 Cucumbers - slice it up and add some sea salt. Yum!

Our group of 2 adults and 5 kids were hosted by TreeTopQuestPhilly and enjoyed a sunny Saturday exploring obstacles, climbing and ziplining and we'd highly recommend this park! 
.
Here some key details to know before you go:
- The staff is super knowledgable, friendly and patient with climbers of all abilities, but it is self paced where you are in control of your own equipment. 
- You attend an equipment fitting, safety instruction and practice course before you climb 
- Expect to spend the full 2.5 hours of your reservation and you likely won't need sunglasses in this shady spot
- Gloves are an optional purchase, but we didn't get them and no one got any blisters
- There are 4 levels of courses with Level 4 being for those 12+ only. It's HIGH but thrilling to those willing to check it out! 
- Porta potties and lockers are available at the check in area and there are plenty of benches and picnic tables to sit at in the park. Spectators are free to watch from below. 
.
PROMO CODE: Use code SPOTOFTEADESIGNS for 15% off your online ticket order to climb!

Cardstock pennant banner tip - create the separate Cardstock pennant banner tip - create the separate piece shown on the video and add it to the back of your pennant to help it hang more securely, hide the ribbon and not move as much when hung.

Special thanks to @wildercrafting who shared this tip YEARS ago, and I still use it when creating my simple banners.

If you're on a fence about creating a garden next If you're on a fence about creating a garden next year.... do it! While I personally don't eat everything we grow (not a pepper fan!), I do enjoy being outside, caring for the plants, and feeding friends and family!

You can start this fall with garlic! You start planting them in the fall, and you'll enjoy them by summer.
