Want a little color in your bathroom without going overboard? Well, friend, this trend might just be for you! A light blue bathroom vanity is visually interesting without being overbearing. Soothing, tranquil, and sophisticated, these baby blue cabinets will make your bathroom feel like a spa. These aqua colored vanities look best when paired with neutral coordinating colors and fixtures like greige wall paint, marble counters, white tile, and shiny chrome faucets and hardware.

If you are renovating a bathroom and plan on keeping the existing vanity, try refinishing the cabinets with an adhesive primer and then a top coat of cabinet paint. This is a great way to get the look of a new vanity without the expense. Here are a few paint colors for inspiration.

Starting from scratch and need a new vanity? That's great too! There are many affordable light blue bath cabinets that arrive prefinished so all you have to do is install! These two vanities are from Home Depot's Home Decorator's Collection and I think the cyan color is spot-on. Even better, they are 20% off right now!

We're wrapping up some repairs at our #rentalproperty which got me thinking about the exterior. I would love to paint the brick exterior white at some point so that the laundry addition doesn't stick out so much but I'm trying to be practical here. I don't want to have to repaint every couple years. But THEN I stumbled across a post from @younghouselove about how they painted their brick home with a product that has a 20 year warranty. 🤯 This led me down a Photoshop rabbit hole to the second photo you see here (and my horrible PS skills). 😜 One day this is where I hope to get the house to (wrap metal posts in cedar, redo landscaping, paint shutters, add window boxes). So, if you were us, would you paint the brick or leave it? 🤔 . . . . #topaintornottopaint #brickhouse #investmentproperty #cottage #smallhome #smallhouse #houseflip #houseflipper #curbappeal #landscaping #curbappeal #notagraphicdesigner
Stumbled upon this article by Gretchen Rubin. I definitely am a simplicity lover (most of those built-in cabinets are empty but filling in those shelves was a struggle for me 😂). What about you? 📸 @whitneygremaud . . "Simplicity lovers are attracted by the idea of “less,” of emptiness, bare surfaces and shelves, few choices, a roomy closet. I’m in this camp; I get more pleasure out of shedding things than from acquiring things. I easily feel overwhelmed when there’s too much noise, too much stuff, or too much happening at once. . . Abundance lovers are attracted by the idea of “more,” of overflow, of addition, of ampleness, of a full pantry. They always want to have more than enough. They like a bit of bustle, and they enjoy collecting things and having a wide array of choices." . . . . #beams #swcolorlove #livingroom #budgetdesign #fixerupper #farmhouse #farmhousestyle #mysouthernliving #smpliving #mybhg #bhghome #apartmenttherapy #builtins #shelfie #homestyle #myhousebeautiful #designsponge #mydomaine #theeverygirlathome #raleigh #designblogger #interiordesign #interiordesigner #hgtv #diy #renovation #houseflipper #realestateinvestor #raleighdesigner
I've mentioned before that one of my favorite thrifting finds was a typewritten thank you letter from actress Olivia deHavilland left in an old nightstand I bought from Goodwill. I loved the message so much that I blew it up on an engineer print and framed it for our dining room. I thought since it was written almost exactly 37 years ago today that it would be fun to share the message here. Also, why don't we talk like this anymore?! 🤷 . . "What a happy surprise it was to receive on the 1st of May the exquisite bouquet of muguets. It was such a thoughtful and generous thing for you to do - and I think that Helene Sullivan, chief of the Cathedral's flower ladies, was almost as touched by your kindness as I was. She came over at noon, bearing the bouquet and placed it in my hands herself, having attached the card to the enveloping paper. Later, when I put the muguets in water and opened the envelope, I found your message. Yes - 'muguets portent bonheur' - and yours have done that for me. Most gratefully, and with warm good wishes to all of you, Most sincerely, Olivia DeHavilland" 📸 @whitneygremaud
When we bought our first house, I wanted to decorate it *perfectly* and get it done fast. I spent money we really didn't have at the time on new stuff from HomeGoods and Target because I wanted my home to look stylish (and to be honest, impress people that probably couldn't have cared less). But after all that energy and money was spent, it still didn't feel perfect and I was frustrated with the whole process. 😣 Over the years, I've found that I've been the most pleased with my home when things are collected and curated over time. A framed photograph of my grandparents, a vintage dresser I got for a song from a thrift store, a seashell Brian picked up for me on the beach, an art print that I loved for over a year before pulling the trigger. 💕 This mantle project didn't turn out perfectly. The wood is brittle in areas and the stain a bit sloppy. But that's okay by me. When I look at it I see the hours Brian put into it over many weekends because he was trying to make me happy. I see the history from our old house in Morganton since that is where it originally came from. And I don't feel guilty for spending a bunch of money on buying something new and "perfect" because we worked with what we had on hand. I know this whole concept of abandoning perfectionism is not new, but sometimes those old expectations can creep back in especially when playing the comparison game on social media. 🚫 Do you have a perfectly imperfect item in your home?
