Master Bath REVEAL


I am really excited to show you our Master Bathroom! We have been working on over the past week! It is amazing how little upgrades makes such a huge difference. I am in love with our little "spa"! 


When we moved in, our bathroom looked like this……


After moving in, we just hung up some items and went with it. (notice the towel rod below/is gone now)




This is the Master Bathroom Mood Board that I created before getting started! 


 Here is my space now!  New paint. New shelves. New towel hooks. New display for art/candles! I love it!











Katie Daisy print from Etsy!


One of my fav. pix of me curling Zion's hair. She was 2 here! I was pregnant with Zakiyah ;)


Candle from a boutique (wedding gift)

 
The shelves are Target Threshold! My oils are essential to have out….use them everyday. West Elm jar for bath salts. The two jars are TJ MAXX.



 Anthro bowls are dispursed throughout my home ;) The jar for the soap is TJ Maxx.





 Lowes plant! I copper leafed the bottom ;)



Pier One Imports iron candle holder.  It is the only one that I kept as a keepsake. We had these for our wedding! The soap dish is from Patina in Minneapolis.


West Elm paper flowers in a lovely vase from my friends. They gave me the vase the day I opened Tala!




I love mirror trays for hair/beauty products! The tray is TJ Maxx.


Zion's ear at 5 days old! Fagan Studios print. I painted the frame white!


I love turkish towels. They don't smell over time. Dry quick. Stylish.


I scored these hooks at Anthro on clearance. They match perfect!


 I used a curtain and hooks that we got for our wedding. It is from Target.







 I have two microfiber plush spa bath mats! I love them.


 I love pretty towels.


I copper leafed my black mirror for the bathroom!





Hello, relaxation…...

 My client, Megan has an amazing assymetric bob! LOVE

I love Rochelle's hair!  It is amazing how cleaning up the perimeter with 2" off, makes a world of a difference. She has beautiful hair!!!
 I got to chop off some hair this week! We took 5 + off and colored the hair a dark and rich brown with some fun caramel tones to break up the color a bit! It looks stunning!

Fun Plants for your HOME

I have been all about plants in my home lately. Maybe it is my winter blues, but man, they cheer me up! I have been wanting to freshen up my space with some new ones! 

                                 

Remember, when I mentioned that I scored some good deals on plants last week? Well, I crafted up some pretty pots this weekend! 

This is what I started with……

                          

I used planters that I already owned. They were looking sad.


I started by painting the terracotta pot with a fun yellow acrylic paint. I did 5 coats! I then used copper leaf and adhesive to make it fun. I used painters tape to section off my shapes. I have to say, that I think I might be addicted to using copper/gold leaf right now! Oh my word, so fun! 


 On the gray pot, I did 2 yellow triangles and 2 copper leaf!


For the leafing technique…..

1. section off your desired area you want the copper to go.
2. paint a thin coat of adhesive on the surface. wait 20-30 minutes for it to change from milky white to clear.
3. apply the gold/silver/copper leaf to the area.
4. I used a spray sealer on my pots so they are water resistant!

That is it. easy.


I painted copper leaf on the base of my new hanging basket! Hint: this is the master bath…..There will be a reveal later this week of my newly decorated space. (the pix is taken before I painted the room) I want to make the copper line more straight……. soon…..


After! So pretty.



                                      

So what do you think? Have you used copper/gold leaf before? It is so easy! I love it! Any projects that you are working on right now?

Happy Monday!
