His and Her Traditional Bathroom Remodel

My team and I just finished up this bathroom this week!

This master bathroom needed a revamp! The client never used their Jacuzzi tub so I suggested they get rid of it. We were able to extend the shower out a bit adding some needed extra room.

 

BEFORE

We didn't want to go too over budget so we had to work with the existing window.

By removing the tub, we were able to add some gorgeous lighted shelving.  Adding some beautiful accessories made this bathroom feel so much more luxurious.

The chandelier makes this little area so special.

We took away the step up into the shower and it is now handicap accessible. The bench is perfect for sitting if needed or just for that leg lift while you shave.

We customized the niches according to the size of the shampoo bottles the client uses.  They both love bar soap so the bottom niche is for that. I purchased some beautiful soap dishes so the niche doesn't get all yucky with soap scum.

The pearl accent tile is my favorite on the outside wall.  Especially since it has glass bullnose above and below it.

The new granite really looks amazing.

We refaced the cabinets, painted a light gray and added crystal and brushed nickel hardware. New oversized floor tile updated the bathroom too.

A new rug and vanity stool warms up the space.

New crystal accessories for their soap and misc. items.

Her side is feminine...

and his side has a more masculine feel.

Found the wood bowl for his watch, phone, etc .

These shots are all close ups of the gorgeousness in this bathroom. These European soaps "Lavender" are my favorite. I layered the river rocks amongst the soaps to add texture and to tie in the bench colors.

The faux succulents look so nice in the niche above the bench.

The best part about this bathroom remodel is that the client trusted me completely.  I was able to make some really great, creative decisions along the way. I truly believe that is why this bathroom turned out so amazing! I always appreciate a client that hires the experts and then trusts them to do their job to the fullest.

I received this text from my client last night:

"Oh Ruthie, I just want  to tell you again, how much I love the bathroom!! It is absolutely gorgeous!  I was just sitting in there on my new bench, in the sun, talking to my mom.  You are truly the best and have given us a gorgeous home!"

This girl slept well last night!

Colleyville Townhome Master Bedroom

 

This holiday season seems to be the time for master bedroom makeovers.  We have been so busy here at DecRenew Interiors but loving it!

We finished this bedroom a few weeks ago for my client that just moved into a townhome.  We finished her family room a few months ago and she called me back to do her master bedroom.  She wanted it to be simple but beautiful.

BEFORE

All she had in the room was a mattress and a dresser.  Everything else, we provided.

AFTER

The button details on the pillows are my fav.  The blown glass lamps totally rocked the room!

The gray velvet pillow looked a little boring so I added a vintage broach I found at an antique show.

So inviting don't you think?

My team and I spent half a day at her house hanging things and getting it all ready while she was at work.  She couldn't get off in time for us to reveal it to her.  However, she called me when she got home just balling her eyes out because she was so happy that I did exactly what she was wanting. Made my day as you can imagine!  I really try to listen to my clients and make sure I understand what they are wanting.

I'll be posting another home soon where we used what the client had to make her remodeled home shine!

Stay tuned.

Grapevine Master Bedroom Makeover

BEFORE

We completed a master bedroom for a client right before Thanksgiving.  They are recently empty nesters and are slowly starting to redecorate and remodel their home.

BEFORE (on day of install)

I got the privilege of assisting them, oh what a joy it was!

They decided to start with their master bedroom so it could be ready for the holiday season.

 AFTER

They had the bed already.  We added new bedding, side tables, lamps, artwork, accessories and draperies.

As you know, I love to use items the client already has.  I shopped their home for treasures and added them to the items I purchased to give it a "collected" feel.

These pillows!!  Love the textures and variety of patterns. It is always amazing to me how a room comes together.  I started with an inspiration fabric (the draperies - see below) and go from there!  Layering textures on a bed is so luxurious and really makes a statement.  I do think that too many pillows can be overdone.

For a king size bed, I usually use two king pillow shams or 3 euro shams.  For this room, I decided to use 2 king shams because I didn't want to cover up the tufting detail on the bed.  I then added three throw pillows.

Side tables with drawers are a must in a master bedroom. The lamps look so amazing with the dots on the pillows.  Subtle repetition of detail.

The artwork I found is PERFECT with all the colors and has just enough gold to work well with the pillows.

The draperies were hard to photograph because of the light.  You can see the colors well in the above photo.

Such a great project for a fun couple!

Her grandma's rocking chair even got a makeover.

The joy the client receives. on the day of the installation, has no comparison to the joy and blessing that I receive in being able to make yet another home beautiful!  Connecting Life and Home is such a pleasure.

Hope you are enjoying the Christmas season so far.

I've started some of my decorating, at least the mantel is done and the stockings are hung!  I am purposely doing simple décor this Christmas.  I'd rather spend more time with my family than stressing about making it all perfect.  Plus, I have to put it all away in a month!  Simple can be beautiful too!

Thanksgiving Table

Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving with family and friends.

My goal this year for me was to set a very "natural" table.  I wanted neutral colors and simplicity.

My daughter and I found a Magnolia tree close by and we took a drive with our clippers in hand. It was a blast and a memory with great laughter.

We found more than just magnolia leaves.

I had a brand new large tarp (bought from Lowes) that fits over 2 large tables.

It was the perfect texture and color for what I was looking for.  We wanted everyone to be able to sit at one large table.  All 21 of us fit perfectly.  Now that we have teens, they would rather be with the adults.

I then placed black striped wrapping paper down the middle as my runner.  I found the animal print pumpkins at Hobby Lobby for 80% off so I was thrilled.

The magnolia leaves were layered down the center and I added fresh pears for some color.

 My husband bought me the plates for an anniversary present several years ago and I love them! I also layered cut aspen pieces amongst the magnolia leaves.

Time together around a table is priceless! Great conversation, good food and a beautiful table makes everyone happy!

  This table could easily be duplicated for a Christmas table.

Just add some pomegranates and you are set!
