Master Bathroom-Before

Just to show you how far we've come, I want to share the before pictures of our master bathroom.  I took these shortly before we remodeled.  When we bought the house, the bathroom was painted a bright gold.  I just couldn't handle it, though.  So even though it didn't really match, I painted the bathroom Pashmina by Benjamin Moore to get us by until we made it to the remodel. 

 
 
 


 
For fun, here is a picture from the original listing~

Master Bathroom Remodel

This post is really a long time coming.  When we bought our house four years ago, we knew then that we planned to remodel the master bathroom.  It wasn't our first priority, though, so after a few years and a lot of saving, we started down this road about a year ago.  I spent weekend after weekend browsing the showrooms at the local tile and stone distributor warehouses and countless hours staring a pictures online.  In late spring we started getting quotes from local contractors.  And, right on track with my third trimester of pregnancy, we moved upstairs to our guest room and the remodeling began.  Six weeks later, Texas Remodelers and Builders finished my dream bathroom.  And, I'm proud to share it with you now~









 
 
I know I've fallen off of the blogging wagon, but I promise to try to be back later this week to show you the before images and share the product list with you.

Purple

When we think of the colors of fall, we usually think of bright, deep shades of orange paired with greens and golds.  My favorite fall color though is purple--call it plum if you prefer!  I think it is such a nice compliment to the more traditional fall colors.  It can be a struggle to work purple into your home without it seeming juvenile, though.  Here are a few photos featuring perfect examples of how to bring a beautiful purple into your home and maintain a chic and sophisticated feel to the room.
