Bathroom Update

Happy 2018! I can't believe it's already the new year! I have so much planned for the year, new projects, more home decor inspiration, lifestyle and fashion, a little bit of everything! 

So with that said, I want to do an update on our bathroom remodel. It's not finished but I wanted to share some progress photos.

We've painted the walls and the doors, ripped everything out, including the old floors, relocated the vanity pipes to the wall, and tiled the floors. And, when I say "we" I really mean my husband. He has been awesome with all of my remodel ideas. I helped paint, but other than that it's been all him! Here's some pictures of the progress!

Our next steps would be adding the new trim, installing the new toilet and vanity, caulking around the tub, putting the door knobs back on, and adding the hooks to the wall behind the door. After that it's time to start decorating! We will be adding some shelves behind the toilet which I'm excited to style. I still have to pick out and purchase a mirror, so that's my mission. The one from my storyboard is no longer available at my Hobby Lobby and I'd rather not pay for the shipping to order it online. I still need to purchase the rugs and a toilet paper holders and then I think we will have everything we need for it. I love the way it's turning out!

I can't wait to share the after photos!

A Year in Review - What's Coming in 2018

I can't believe 2017 is almost over. I feel like I was just writing this post from January! 

As the year comes to an end and we begin the new year, I wanted to take a minute to review this past year. So much has happened! 

We finished our half bath reno (you can see that post here ), we finished our kitchen, except for the backsplash, (you can see that post here ), and we redid our bedroom (you can see that post here ). It's hard to believe that we finished all of these projects and looking back it's hard to remember what these spaces looked like before. 

As far as the blog goes, I've expanded my content to cover more fashion, which I love, and am adding more lifestyle content as well. 

So, for 2018 I want to continue with home decor, fashion and lifestyle. Although I love doing e-design and I am primarily a home decor blog, I have many interests and I love sharing them here. I hope you all enjoy seeing these different areas because I love sharing them. 

As I am getting ready for 2018, I want to hear what you want to read. Do you want more home decor, more fashion, more recipes? Do you like home pictures or my picks of different items? I would love to hear what you think in the comments.  

Thank you to everyone for reading my posts and engaging. That's what makes this fun! I have loved growing my blog in 2017 and I can't wait to see what 2018 has in store for me and this little piece of the internet I call Style Nest Interiors. 

Talk to you in the new year!

Christmas Home Tour

It's time for our Christmas home tour! It's taken me awhile to get this up, the house is never photo ready around the holidays. Tell me I'm not alone. 

I finally rounded up some photos of our home for Christmas. I hope you enjoy the tour!

I shared more pictures of our dining room for Christmas here if you want to check them out. 

I wanted to stay pretty simple with our decorations. I added these hoop wreaths behind the couch, some pinecones and pine on the coffee table , and some Christmas pillows.

For the entryway, I stacked some old crates and put small trees and some greenery on top. 

In this corner, I added one of the wooden shutters that used to be behind the couch to this wall. I love the way it looks. I kept it simple with some fresh pine in the glass vase and some trees and a candle on the cabinet.

I hope you enjoyed seeing a glimpse into our home! I love seeing other people's home tours, so I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

A Modern Farmhouse Bathroom - Storyboard

I mentioned before that we are going to be redoing our upstairs bathroom and now it's that time! On Friday we will be quoting Chip Gaines, "It's demo day!" I'm so excited to see the end result! 

This is how our bathroom looks right now. My husband started patching and sanding so that's what the white spots are on the walls. The walls are this pink/red/brown color that makes the room feel smaller than it is. The floor is a vinyl that is made to look like a stone with browns and tans. The vanity is probably the original with a brown vanity base and a light vanity top. 

I can't wait to bring in some lighter colors and update this space to our modern farmhouse style!

Just like I do for my clients, I like to make a storyboard before we do a project. It helps me see what the space will look like and I can see the different products next to each other. Here is the storyboard I made for our full bathroom. 

We're painting the walls a lighter green/gray color and replacing the outdated floor with some wood look tile in a light brown.

We got a new vanity that's white with a white top. The bottom is open which will help make the room not feel so small. We chose to go with the same faucet we have in our downstairs bathroom. I love the simple classic look of it.

Instead of a towel bar, I want to use hooks to tie in the farmhouse style. I chose black to contrast all the light colors I have in here.

The light fixture is modern farmhouse and simple. I love it.

I have some wood and black shelves I'm going to put behind the toilet for extra storage. I got some glass and copper canisters from the Target dollar spot I'm going to use along with some copper wire baskets for even more storage.

For the rugs, I want to stay light and bright with some simple white bath mats.

I really wanted to tie in some rustic charm with the mirror. I'm not sure if we're going with this exact mirror, but we want the same look. 

We're keeping our shower curtain because I love it so much! The colors tie in so nicely with the new design. I picked the wall color with this shower curtain in mind. 

My overall feel for this bathroom is modern farmhouse, which is basically our entire house. I love the mix of farmhouse style with some modern elements. 

I hope you enjoyed seeing my vision for our bathroom. I will share the after photos when it's done!

A Christmas Dining Room

I'm going to be posting a Christmas home tour soon, but I wanted to share my dining room with you now. I'm sticking to pretty traditional colors this year with the greens and reds and I love the added black accents. I wanted to incorporate texture and keep it pretty simple. I hope this gives you some inspiration for your own dining room! 

I mixed a few different garlands for the table and added some cotton for a natural feel. The candle holder is from Target and I love it. The candles never seem to stay straight but it just makes it unique :)

The Farmhouse Christmas sign is from TJMaxx and I made the four Christmas saying signs. I also made the hoop wreath that's in the middle of them. I will do a tutorial for those if anyone is interested.

The Fresh Cut Christmas Trees sign is from the Target dollar spot and it's perfect on my blanket ladder. 

I hope you enjoyed seeing a glimpse into our Christmas home! I will be doing a home tour soon!
