let me refresh your memory.
and now, welcome to my dream world.
the after photos….
come on in.
diana…check out your chandelier!
i love it so much.
thank you.
so sneaky.
i have to tell you about this little table.
i walked through one of our local anitque shops one day.
one of the last booths i had left to see and there it was.
it’s legs were painted white and it had two little doors that were broken.
but just for the mirrored sides…my heart got to pumping.
i bought it for $12 in disbelief.
then i brought it home and took off the doors.
i went to touch up the paint and realized all the legs and details were
covered in mirror and then had been painted.
i couldn’t believe it!
i got out a razor blade and scratched off all that paint.
it is my favorite piece i have ever salvaged.
the old door was in the craft room but it may stay as free art.
and the mirror was one we had in our bathroom remake in our IL house.
and how about that buffet?!
thank you again mom for scoping out the stores to find it.
this was the little window that originally went into our closet.
i have yet to decide what to do with this little space.
maybe for jewelry…
or a picture…
i don’t know, but it will come to me one day.
and in our old closet is now another bathroom.
i’ll show you that another day.
it’s pink.
and in our bedroom we built an new closet.
same size but now completely organized.
(maybe i will actually put things away now…my husband hopes)
craig wants to make sure everyone knows i mean PEACE like relaxing.
not the hippie kind of peace…HA.
i am so in love with this room.
bernie – the contractor – was awesome.
this room is better than we ever hoped.
now i think i will go take another bath!

Diane - Wow! I love your wall color in the bathroom! I would love to know the name of it!
Also, love your kitchen! Can you tell me where you found you bamboo blinds? I’ve been wanting them for a long time. I think you sold me on getting them.
midwifeliz - I’ve been lurking for a while. I love the pictures of your home. You have a great eye for color, form and things that are well made. I completely love your craft room too. You seem like a totally fun mom.
Sandra - Your old door reminds me of what we did in our old family farmhouse that we renovated and lived in for 20 years. When we had to tear down the frame portion of the house because it was falling down, we saved the doors and used them in the new construction that replaced that part. It worked great at blurring the lines between old and new!
Jennifer P. - I am actually tearing up a little that is so flipping gorgeous! I love that you found the perfect place to use your Christmas banner!!! It’s all SO perfect! You must, must, must send those pictures to a magazine! I’ll see if I can’t get Jennifer Paganelli over here to have a look. She’s got friends in high magazine-y places :)!
Great, great, great job Meg (and Bernie!).
One Wired Woman - Absolutely the coolest bathroom I’ve ever seen. I love all of the white… Enjoy that bathtub!! You deserve it!! ~Jill
Julie K. - Wow! You always had a nack for design, decorating, and just plain fabulous taste. Is your house perfect or what? You can never move again. You are one very very blessed mama. I swear … we’ll see you featured in Home Companion or Country Living or some fabulous magazine spread with your own photos … they won’t even need their staff photographers! :o)
Hugs to you!!

Michelle Baker - Amazing! I love the combination of grunge and glamour. Gorgeous!!
Claudia Hill - I discovered your gorgeous bathroom via the Inspired Room. Its just lovely and I am so happy to discover what you did with the buffet. It may be just the answer for my bathroom. When we moved in it just had a pedestal sink and I need storage. I was thinking of having something built, but this would be much more satisfying! And maybe less expensive?
Thanks!
Claudia

Steph @ Problem Solvin' Mom - What a wonderful retreat! Thanks for sharing it with us this once 😉 I am so in love with all of your house!
Lindy - WOw WOw WOw and WOw is all I can say. What a FABULOUS bathroom! I love every single thing about this space – when can I come visit to take a bath????
I love the ledge on the side of the tub where you have all of your candles and glass jars. Maybe you could put a few little ferns, or something similar, in them. Like a miniature terrarium.
And that mirrored table – WHATEVER – you scored big time on that one. Those things go for big bucks at the antique stores. What fool decided to paint it??? Man, I need to come junking with you….
Fantastic space – very beautiful.
Lindy
Lori Eurto - You probably won’t get this comment, since you’re probably too busy sitting in that lovely tub, bein all “peaceful”
and whatnot… But I think you need ART IS A JEALOUS MISTRESS to hang on a lovely antique coat hook in that little window in the bathroom!
Just my opinion. 😉
Staci - Oh Meg! Absolute HEAVEN!!!! Turned out so beautiful…how will you ever want to come out of there??!! Love the painted buffet! ENJOY!!!

Chaos-Jamie - It is Awesome! But I have to admit, though it is lovely, I’d hate for anyone to be able to see me that clearly in the shower. LOL.
Julie - Would you be offended if I admitted that I totally coveted your bathroom, and am really jealous? If I had that gorgeous space I would never ever come out and the kiddos would have to fend for themselves. Love it!
