Decorating Shelves Above The Toilet by The Wood Grain Cottage

Decorating Shelves Above The Toilet

April 10, 2017

If you've been following this blog for a while, you may remember last year when we installed shelves above our toilet in the master bathroom. Since installing them, I've never really "decorated" them. Sure, I added a basket or two, but that was about it. But even with the shelves not decorated, this little area in our bathroom is one of my favorite views. The dark wall behind the shelves, the crisp white planking and the rough texture of the wood all combines to create the perfect backdrop for accessories. I know decorating shelves above the toilet can be a little bit tricky, but I'm absolutely loving how our little area came together. I shopped the house and was able to use things ...

Master Bathroom Shelf Makeover by The Wood Grain Cottage

Master Bathroom Shelf Makeover

October 3, 2016

Sometimes projects turn out a little less awesome than I expect (gasp!, right?), and then there are projects that entirely exceed my expectations. Projects that exceed my expectations automatically hold a spot in my heart. I'm a very visual person, and can generally see past anything to envision something entirely different. That's where today's master bathroom shelf makeover comes into play. When I was looking to share a project for this month's paint makeover post, I walked into the thrift store in search for something "blog-worthy". True story. I searched high and low looking for that perfect piece that would shine and inspire. In the last stretch of the store, I looked up ...

New Light In The Master Bathroom by The Wood Grain Cottage

New Light In The Master Bathroom

February 15, 2016

Today it's all about our new light in the master bathroom. Little by little, we've made progress fixing it up. The bathroom that sat unfinished for months, has slowly started to take shape... and it's exciting.  You may remember when I shared a sneak peek of this light in our new entry light post... We were lucky enough to find that little gem of a light at an antique mall in Littleton (Colorado) while visiting family. I loved the shape, the ribbed design, and the simple farmhouse vibe it had. After debating on several different places to hang it in the house, I finally decided on our master bathroom. The size is perfect for this little room, and while it's a tiny bit hard to ...

Shelves In The Master Bathroom by The Wood Grain Cottage

Shelves In The Master Bathroom

February 10, 2016

I am so excited to share our latest project, shelves in the master bathroom! If you read the recap of our trip to the Vintage Whites Market (or attended the event! :) ), you might have noticed the shelves we were selling. I absolutely adored them (and they were really popular!), so I wanted to incorporate them into our house as well. They look amazing! Back when I envisioned our bathroom, I could see they would look wonderful against the black wall, and once we had it completed, it actually blew away my vision! They look so good together! Today, I wanted to share how we installed them... For the shelves, we used old wood from my parents farm. They have piles of it, and it's been ...

Planking In The Master Bathroom by The Wood Grain Cottage

Planking In The Master Bathroom

February 8, 2016

I'm back today with more progress in our master bathroom. We've been able to get several things completed, and it feels amazing! This room sat unfinished for months upon months, so seeing progress is wonderful. One of my very favorite elements, is planking. That comes as no surprise to most of you, but if you're new here, we love us some planking. We started by planking the wall in our breakfast nook several years ago, and have slowly continued adding more throughout several rooms in our home. It feels very cohesive now, which was my goal when we started adding the plank walls. I didn't want just one plank wall in the house, but instead an even "flow" of them throughout the ...

New Paint In The Master Bathroom by The Wood Grain Cottage

New Paint In The Master Bathroom

February 4, 2016

Ah! It's been forever since I last shared our master bathroom. Right after we found out our shower had been leaking into the living room (they share a wall), we basically demoed the bathroom, leaving the cabinets and bathtub. We ripped out the existing tile and installed new floor tile, and shower tile. It's been one of the best decisions... not only does the shower not leak anymore, but the bathroom looks waaay better than it did with the original tile. The last time I shared about the master bathroom, the tile guys had just left. Here's what it's looked like for the past 5-6 months... Mind you, I did clean, but that was basically it. The bathroom has had paint swatches on ...

New Master Bathroom Tile

September 3, 2015

Our master bathroom renovation is moving right along! The tile guys finished installing the tile on Monday, then finished with the grout and caulking Tuesday! I can't even tell you how excited I am. Not only for the fact that we basically have a new bathroom, but for the simple fact that we get our house back. Renovations are tough. Dust and dirt lands on every available surface, items are out of place, and the normal rhythm of "home" is gone. But it's all worth it for the cause. I mentioned in my previous post that the demo was done, and we were ready to start over with new tile.  I snapped a few progress pictures, but for the most part I tried to stay out of their way as they were ...

Master Bathroom Demo

August 27, 2015

Our master bathroom tile is officially gone! I'm sharing the progress update from the demolition. And yikes, our house is a total disaster! :-D Last time I updated you on our master bathroom we were in the process of meeting with our contractor and the tile guy to begin the first phase of ripping out our existing bathroom tile. Since it leaked like a sieve, and had already done plenty of damage, Anthony and I decided to start over. Our leaky shower was on its way out! Monday the crew came to start demoing the bathroom. If you've ever done any remodeling, you know how much of a mess it makes. It basically affects the entire house, not just that room. We have a thick coat of dust ...

Master Bathroom Tile Drama

August 12, 2015

I had to think long and hard before naming this post. Nothing seemed to fit quite right, except for the word "drama". Problem is, I really, really, really dislike drama of any nature. I don't want any part of it. Unfortunately, our master bathroom has decided otherwise, and we've been dealing with its tile issues from the first day we moved in. I've never really shared pictures, or details, of our master bathroom, so bear with me as I explain our experience and frustrations. In order for you to understand the full story, I'll start at the beginning. Since we moved in in 2012, we've had issue, after issue with our master bathroom shower and floor tile. A month or so after we moved in, ...

DIY Wood Framed Mirror

February 6, 2015

Lately, I've found the need for a full length mirror in our bathroom, which inspired this DIY wood framed mirror. I'm always getting dressed, wondering how it all looks "put together", so I finally decided it was time to change that thought process. Our master bathroom itself needs a bit of work... it's still painted that bright blue, and I am so extremely sick of it. I think this may be the project that finally pushes me to take action and make changes as I'm inspired. This DIY wood framed mirror was so easy to put together... Please note: Some of the links in this post are affiliate links, which allows us to make a small commission from your purchase, but your purchase price ...

House Update: Master Bedroom & Bathroom

May 31, 2012

Hello! It's all about the master suite today! The bedroom and bathroom are turning out simply amazing, it's kind of surreal to see it happen. I know I say it all the time, probably more than it bears repeating, but it's incredible to see a vision come to life. It seems like yesterday we were buying the jetted tub and toilets.... We've come a very long way! Notice the painted window ledges... now all we're missing is the ceiling fan! I picked up the bathroom mirrors at Ross for a complete steal. The only problem is that they're black... it's a little bit too dark for me, so they're getting a fresh coat of white paint very soon. The tile is completely finished, including grout. It's ...

House Update: Insulation & Rock!

April 18, 2012

Who would have ever thought that we would be THIS excited to see insulation? After a week and a few days of waiting for mr. electrical inspector, we are finally making some more progress! And it feels AMAZING! The house completely changed today... it got much smaller... in a good way! The walls are covered with insulation and the rooms are definitely distinct! Take a look for yourself: The view from the front door! Living room and breakfast nook. And there's a wall! Dining Room! Dining Room/ Entry Kitchen! Another kitchen view! Laundry Room! Laundry Room Pedestals! Office! Hall Bath Guest Room! Master Bedroom! Master Bathroom & Closet. (The tub has been moved for insulation to be ...

Style Board Series: Master Bathroom

March 26, 2012

Hey there! I'm back with another Style Board Series Post! Today's focus is on the master bathroom. I can't even describe how crazily excited I am over this room. Like many aspects of our new home, I've never actually had a spacious master bath that has a shower and a tub. Which are separate. Know what I mean? They've always been combined, but not this time! We have a totally separate bathtub from the shower... It's almost too surreal! First, let me say that the master bathroom has been the hardest room to make decisions on. I have no idea what I ultimately want the final outcome to be. That's kinda the problem.  There are so many different "looks" that interest me, making it hard to pick ...

Instagram post 17877687346486071 We are loving the evening glow from our Christmas tree! Today on the blog, I’m sharing all the details on our tree and the different steps and layers I used to create it. It’s such a beautiful addition to our living room. 🎄

Instagram post 17855703316617271 Happy Saturday! We’re installing more interior doors and trim today! What a big difference it makes! This fixer upper of ours has been making some big progress lately. 😍 
Throwback to my last house... but our new doors will look similar to these!

Instagram post 17856780565609483 Our new flocked Christmas tree arrived and I spent the afternoon setting it up and fluffing the branches. It’s such a tedious job, especially on a new tree, but it’s worth it! 
I’ve been trying to decide how I wanted to decorate this year, and while I was “fluffing”, I think I finally decided. And now I’m excited. 😬🎄 This lovely picture is from my last house, all decorated for Christmas. 😍

Instagram post 17842824415781814 On the blog, I’m talking all about designing and purchasing our IKEA cabinets. We still have a little ways to go before we “officially” have the cabinets completely installed and finished... and then we have all the other things we need to add, like a custom vent hood, backsplash and open shelves, just to name a few, but if you’re wanting to use IKEA cabinets, today’s post will give you a good idea of what to expect!

Instagram post 17859897157563074 I’ve been on the hunt for a new flocked Christmas tree since this beautiful tree is waay too tall for our 8’ ceilings... and I don’t want to look like Clark Griswold with my tree stuffed in the corner about to burst through the window. 💁🏼‍♀️ Sooo... I searched high and low to find the best flocked Christmas trees. There are some seriously beautiful trees... and after getting our tape measure out, we finally picked our new tree and it should be here this week! 🎄

If you’re looking for a new tree, be sure to head to the blog... I’ve organized them by size to make it easy! 👍🏻 #thewoodgraincottage #thewgc #christmasdecor #christmastree #flockedchristmastree #ontheblog
