Last week I asked you all for advice on my black walls.
I totally thought everyone was going to be on my side and tell me to get rid of the black. I was already envisioning sticking my tongue out at Jon saying I told you so while applying a fresh coat of paint on the walls.
That didn’t happen though. You all talked me off the wall and helped me embrace the paint job and so due to all of your wonderful advice I decided to leave it black.
I do want a bit of change though so I think I’m going to switch out a couple of accessories in order to add my pop of color.
I stumbled upon this image in my inspiration files. I believe it’s a bathroom in Kate Spades home and it was featured in an 2004 issue of House & Garden:
I love it. So pops of yellow and green it is!
I’ve already ordered some new monogramed towels:
I picked out the yellow ones and went with some bright orange for the monogram! They are actually on sale at the moment. You can pick out your own set here.
While I had dreams of an imperial trellis shower curtain in emerald that is so not in the budget so I decided to go with this fabric instead:
It’s a zig-zag pattern I had a stylish friend help me make a pattern I will be trying out Spoonflower for the first time.
Fingers crossed all goes well!
*Thanks for all of your advice. All of the rooms in the house are really finally at the final stages…for now 🙂 My mom has already made me promise to her that I will leave everything as is for at least 6 months when I’m finished.
Love the pops of yellow and green!!! the shower curtain is going to look amazing!!! Bold and beautiful. Your Mom should know better than to make you make a promise like that. You can't help it!! WE creative types always have the wheels turning it is in our being, we can not help it!! Kathysue

My living room is one of the rooms that evolved drastically from when we first moved one. Originally I painted the walls chocolate brown and did accents of white, blue and orange. That lasted maybe 2 years.
Our dining room sat empty for months. Okay maybe it was empty for just a handful of weeks and then we couldn’t take it anymore and put in a folding table and plastic outdoor chairs, but in my mind that was still empty.
On the main floor of our house we have a Florida room. Being that it’s a Florida room it is a considered a 3 season room, because there is no heat in the room. The previous owners used it as an indoor patio with outdoor furniture and it looked like this when we moved in.
In our new home, the basement was completely unfinished. It was literally one of those dark spaces that you see in horror movies and are terrified of getting locked into. However, with the square footage in this house, I knew I needed to make the basement another workable and liveable floor of the house instead […]
The time has come to finally share our new kitchen reveal. For those of you that have been with us from the beginning, we bought a house right before the pandemic hit. It was a total gut job from top to bottom. We started our demo and then the world shut down. Enter the delays […]
Picking out paint colors for a new home can be overwhelming. I find that many times when I meet with a new client the entire house is simply just painted white or a light gray. Now, I think there is a time and place for those colors, but with paint, there is just so much […]
What to look for when it comes to picking out kitchen appliances: Leave room in your budget for appliances. When it comes to kitchen renovations everyone knows that the cabinetry and the labor of demoing and installing cabinetry is going to eat a lot of your budget. However, the second most expensive part of a […]
I don’t think I’m alone in thinking that designing a kitchen is an overwhelming undertaking. I’m an interior designer and even I find it stressful to iron out all of those details. So, when it comes time to design a kitchen I always like to partner with a kitchen designer to make sure I’m remembering […]

Love the pops of yellow and green!!! the shower curtain is going to look amazing!!! Bold and beautiful. Your Mom should know better than to make you make a promise like that. You can't help it!! WE creative types always have the wheels turning it is in our being, we can not help it!! Kathysue
