Powder Bathroom Inspiration Board

Renovation Ideas for Our Powder Bathroom Inspiration Makeover

When you move into a house that needs refreshening up and renovation work, you learn to exercise a lot of patience. Our house is about 15 years old, so it doesn’t need major renovations, but it does need cosmetic work. Our list is long, and we’ve done quite a bit, but I still feel like we have barely checked items off our list. We’ve been trying to complete our powder bathroom, and we are just about there. So, as we finish it up I thought I’d show you my powder bathroom inspiration board so you get the idea of the look we are going for. The before pictures are below.

I wanted to keep our powder board inspiration board neutral, with a little bit a touch of feminine. Our house is a New England style colonial so there is a lot of moulding through the house with traditional styles of finishes. Since we aren’t completely redoing the entire house, I didn’t want to completely change the traditional style of the house. More like just update the house keeping it traditional with a touch of modern.

Here are a few of our “before” pictures of the bathroom. The bathroom floor was covered in a rough rock tile that would hurt your feet to walk. So happy with the marble hexagon tile we replaced it with! The blue paint is horrible. Can’t wait when it is gone and covered in the floral wallpaper, which ties in the other wallpaper in the house.

On my Instagram stories, I asked everyone if I should replace the pedestal sink and everyone said yes! I am so happy we did!

Mother’s Day Picnic Inspiration

This next weekend is Mother’s Day.  A day we recognize important women in our life or recognize one of the most important roles we play as a woman.  Mother’s Day is one of my favorite days of the year because my kids make breakfast in bed for me, and I don’t have to do the dishes.  Simple things I do every day for them, and it’s just so nice to take a break from it all.  Usually on Mother’s Day, I request to have a picnic in a picturesque location (remember last year’s Mother’s Day picnic inspiration?  We might be heading there again this weekend just to see all the beautiful wildflowers.)  Well, this past Sunday we had a late church and the weather was perfect.  A little cloudy, but warm enough for a light lunch outside.  We have this beautiful open field, practically in our backyard.  So we headed there to have lunch.  I brought my cruiser, packed up the picnic basket and blanket and off we went for a pre- mother’s day picnic inspiration luncheon.

The best quick picnic lunch is assorted meats, cheeses and crackers.  I also like to bring cracker spreads like fig and cream cheese and herbal.  Fresh berries and grapes are a favorite.  And I always like throw in the picnic basket sparkling juices.  My kids love them.  I also brought lemon curd cheesecake in a jar and those were heavenly and the perfect treat!

If you a planning to head out for a mother’s day picnic, don’t forget outside play toys!
