This weekend Megan came over and helped me re-do my bathroom.
It was SOOOO boring in there. We literally hadn't done a single thing to that room since we moved in our house.... FIVE YEARS AGO!
You know Megan has a heart attack at beige walls and I really just think she was tired of seeing my #ootd (outfit of the day) pics on Instagram with beige walls and boringness in the background. ;)
The Hubs was out of town so I figured this would be the PERFECT time to tackle the bathroom since he was NOT on board with the colors I was wanting to do in there- mint green & white.
He was all "NO WAY! THAT'S HIDEOUS!"
Men.
I'm so happy that it all turned out just as we planned!
Friday we painted the entire bathroom mint green.
Megan taped off the bathroom for our Chevron pattern.
Saturday we finished the painting and Sunday I spent the day putting the finishing touches on everything before The Hubs got home.
Here is the finished product.
Colors are Behr Kiwi Squeeze & Martha Stewart Talc.
Curtains are from Target on clearance for $15/panel (not shower curtains).
Rod is a shower curtain rod from Target.
Bamboo shade was $50 from Home Depot.
Decor around bathtub is from Ross.
I replaced the brass towel rack with a bronze one from Target and then I added shower hooks and hung my long necklaces on them.
Rugs from Target.
Jewelry box from Ross.
I LOVE how it turned out!
I'm still not done in there, however. I am going to stain the cabinets a dark espresso color which I think will just make everything come together. And the last thing I want to do in there is frame the builder grade mirror in a deep espresso color.
The Hubs isn't a HUGE fan of the color but his exact words were "well, the bathroom looks good."
MaMeg for the WIN!
MaMeg= Mine & Megan's "celebrity couple" name.
And no, we didn't come up with that ourselves.
A reader did. ;)
And no, we're not lesbians.
And no, we aren't hating on the lesbians.
Sheesh.

Now for some
Before and After:
Here are some progress pics:
I could NOT have done this without Megan. She totally rocks my face off.
Here is a video tutorial of how we -aka- Megan did the chevron wall.
Speaking of things that rock my face off, how are you liking my new blog look??
Hubby Jack put this beaut together and I LOVE it!! He's pretty much amaze. If you need a blog makeover, check him out. And tell him I sent you.

I love the goals! From a new blogger, I am anxious to read your tips and tricks of how to manage and run a blog.

Loveeeeeeee the bathroom!!! & your celeb name: MaMeg!!! And super bonus the hubs didn't totally hate it!! You rock and can't wait to see ootd posts in your new bathroom as well as new posts on the requested topics! :):)
Wow! It looks awesome. I may be starting my own weekend bathroom project soon. I will also be confident in what colors I pick, regardless of my boyfriends bad taste haha.
I am very excited about some of your upcoming topics, including about starting a blog because I just started my own. I also LOVE the new lay out of the blog. Unfortunately, I use wordpress so I can't use him to design mine, but yours looks awesome.
I have been reading your blog for a while but I haven't commented before. But I just had to say that your bathroom looks awesome! I love the mint, it's so happy and refreshing!
And your new blog layout is fantastic!
Love the blog makeover!!! Much better than the other & I love this picture. You look so much younger. Y'all's chevron painting has made me want to do that.. Too bad I have no patience for taping.
Looks great! The color seems very soft & maybe unusual for a bathroom but it looks really good. Sometimes it pays to be adventurous!
I've been following your blog for almost a year, and I must say that I LOVE the new look. It's much easier to read and looks so fresh and clean!
Before I finished reading I was thinking that you needed to paint the cabinets and then boom...you read my mind!! Love it!
The bathroom AND the blog look awesome! I think the new blog represents you better than the old look :)
I love both makeovers! So cute.
Love the new blog design! You and Meg make Chevron painting look so easy, I might just have to try it! Glad the hubby approved!
PS...if you are still taking celebrity couple name suggestions, I'm think Skinny Mama fits you gals well!
I love it! I framed in my builder grade mirrors using a tutorial online and it was super easy!
It was from a pin on pinterest that linked me to a blog. If you want more info just let me know! :)
Bathroom looks great, and the blog looks awesome!!
Now I need to chevron my bedroom. Maybe MaMeg would like to come to Kentucky and paint my walls! haha. But if you come all this way I'm gonna need ya'll to be my personal trainers too! haha!
Wow! I love your style! Your new bathroom is so fresh and cheery! I'm looking forward to your upcoming posts.

I saw the photos on instagram but didn't realize it was the more than one wall; I love it!!
Breathing tips for running!!! Yes!!! Another thought....is there a noticeable difference b/w treadmill and outside running? (If you put incline on 1?)
Why do you have to be so damn pretty? Seriously, do you even know how many of us ladies are super jealous ;)
I'm excited to see your new posts! Also, I super dig the bathroom and blog remake! Both look so much fresher :)
I love it!!!! We've lived in our house almost 3 years and haven't painted a dang thing. Honestly, I'm just not a decorator and have no idea when I'd ever tackle such a task. Haha!!! Painting a nursery... Reason #37621 that I want a baby. Lol.
I love everything about it! So gorg! Men don't care what anything looks like anyway, so as long as you love it, that's what matters!
great job on the bathroom...may try this on mine!
Meglin would have been a better celeb couple name! lol.
it looks freakin fantastic..
awesome job!
I love the bathroom!!!! I have had the same bahtroom for going on 5 years..but my bathroom is sooo tiny. You sit on the pot and your head hits the shower door.
I'm literallly obsessing over this bathroom. I want to say that I have the same house layout as you in Houston... but I could be wrong. It looks so close! I'm wanting to make over mine after this baby is born.... and I think I'll have to do what you did -- wait till the hubby is out of town or not home -- hehehe <3
LOOKS GORGEOUS. <3
beautiful!!
I'm excited for the upcoming topics...a girl can always use some help in the food and exercise department...especially a working girl with limited time.
Both makeovers are uhhhmazing!!!!!!! <3
