Basically all the shiny stuff.

I love that this room is super fancy (by my standards at least!)and traditional in style, but it still feels fresh and approachable and totally like “us”.

I always think you know you’ve done a really good job designing a room when it becomes really easy to decorate it and make it look good, almost no matter what you try.Even, a plastic walrus!.So that’s the bathroom!

If you can’t already tell, I’m thrilled with how well this giant project turned out for us.I hope you enjoyed your little tour!.

A big huge ginormous thank you again to Moen and KraftMaid for providing so many amazing and important products for this room.

They really made my whole vision come to life and it would not have been the same room at all without their generous contributions!If you’re anything like me, then this time of year is all about getting your home back on track, getting yourself organized, and trying to do a little better job of all the little things that you do each and every day.I still felt like I really had to sell myself on that second call, maybe even more so than on the first call, but it was much easier when I knew that I was the one who would be doing most of the talking, job interview-style..

So we landed on a concept pretty quickly and they asked me to send them a list of the chapters that I wanted to include in the book, along with the introductions to each of those chapters as it would appear in the book,.1-2 fully-written chapters for them to look over.

within a week or so and then they would look it over and make their final decision as to whether or not they really wanted to have me write this book for them.Basically I wrote a really big chunk of the book and came up with most of my ideas for how the book would come together within about a week.
