Mid-Century Inspired Window Hardware

I decided in our new house, I would put the same curtains and curtain rods on every window for continuity. That sounds like a way bigger deal than it is… we literally have five windows that need curtains. I think it was more laziness than design aesthetic to just do them all the same. That did mean I had to find something that would look good in every room. I have gone the plain white or plain black curtain rod in the past (and I do love B&W), but I want to incorporate more wood in this house for a warmer, cozier look.

Bathroom | The Plan

When we decided to re do the bathroom, I Googled “small bathroom” on the internet for design ideas. This is how I discovered most everyone seems to think 40 sq feet is a tiny-ass powder room. I guess people aren’t talking about or designing city-small type bathrooms. I understand why, there is not much to it! Our bathroom is just wide enough to fit a full size tub and just long enough to fit a toilet and small sink. THAT’S ALL FOLKS.

Bathroom | Before

We have one bathroom and it’s tiny. Like 30 sq feet tiny. The bathroom was not in terrible shape when we bought the house. It seemed reasonably functional (aside from its tiny-ness) and everything worked. Unfortunately once we moved in we realized it wasn’t functional for us.

Painted Cloth Napkins

In an effort to be less reliant on consumable paper goods, I decided to wean us into using cloth napkins! The ideal cloth napkin for everyday use is pretty enough to set the table with, but not so fancy or precious you can’t wipe your hands on it.

Bedroom | Before & During

For the last couple of months we have been pretty consumed with house stuff. As most people are who have recently moved. One of the main things we liked about the house we bought was its potential. It wasn’t there yet, but it could be great. Well, ‘great’ takes a lot of work and money and TIME.
