5 Design Ideas That Stopped Me In My Scroll

Mar 29, 2017 by Layla

Hello! Each Wednesday I share some of the photos that stopped me in my tracks while I was scrolling Instagram the previous week. This week, I thought I’d include each Instagrammers caption so you could see what they had to say about the photo:

1. @Urban.Farmgirl: “Come to mama you beautiful farmhouse cabinet! 💕 Love it when I can take a moment out of my life to go hunting for goodies. Love it even more when I hit the jackpot on the first stop! And the BEST part! All that amazing minty paint is ORIGINAL!” 👏🏼

2. @GreenSpruceDesigns: “I’m adding some spring touches, like this patchwork rug from IKEA and my favorite flowers- calla lilies.” 

 

3. @Nikki_Grandy: “Wanna little sneaky peeky of my new fireplace? I ended up cutting a rectangle out of 1/2″ cement board and applying three coats of Ardex feather finish for the part attached to the wall. Guys. It looks JUST LIKE a solid piece of concrete but it’s as thin as tile. And more importantly, it won’t crack.”

4. @WhitetailFarmhouse: “Barn doors with all the “chippy-ness”!! Is that a word?! I designed this house around the master bedroom, probably so I could put double barn doors. These doors were from a vendor in Round Top, Texas named Jill Suzanne. She finds amazing things. The doors came all the way from St.Louis…exactly where our reclaimed brick is from. I told her I needed two, which is even that much harder. They are exactly the size we needed. Now I’m trying to decide if I should put the two on a big slider on this side of the room OR do one on the opposite side of this room, like my original plan. Let me know what you think.”

5. @BPatrickFlynn: “You know how some people are addicted to chocolate or rosé or vintage ’80s TV-themed lunchboxes or shopping or eating chalk or anything sung by Adele? I have that same thing but with factory window shower partitions. OMG I CANNOT STOP PUTTING THESE THINGS IN BATHROOMS SEND HELP.”

 

PS- I’ve been tagging these round-ups on Instagram with the hashtag #InstaWednesdayRoundUp if you’d like to see them all together over there!

    Actually those industrial panes in a shower seem like a pain to keep clean. All those squares. Give me a plain, flat surface! (If I didn’t have to clean them myself, though, I would say, Yes! Gorgeous!)

    Glad you said that, Taste of France! I was considering tracking those panes of glass down for my in-progress bathroom remodel. When I read your comment it “stopped me in my tracks!”m

    Thanks!

    Loved them all except for the shower. I’d much prefer a shower with no glass or doors, just tiled walls. That would be so much easier to me. I really loved the small bathroom. 🙂

    Blessings,
    Elizabeth

    Loving the fifth photograph of the bathroom. Usually, I find a mainly black space to feel small and cold, although the warm, simple home decor and the all glass shower really bring warmth to the space and give it an open airy feel!

    That last photo is my favorite – I’m SUCH a huge fan of that style in bathrooms. So, so gorgeous!

    Love them all

    I don’t know if is just my computer or if other readers are having the same thing happen to them. When I click on the link it takes me a different IG account. Just thought you may want to know.

    Thank you for sharing.

      Michelle, it is happening to me too! I have tried to look at several and I even get one that is actually in Australia where I live! How odd.

      Me too! Thought it was my tablet playing tricks.

    Oh my goodness! Such wonderful things!

    Yes, I like the shower screen as well. Having cleaned houses professionaly I can tell you , a little secret to cleaning those panes; buy Rain-X and spray that onto the glass. It repels water and scum! Ta-da! Hardly any need to clean them then! Do that every few weeks and your showers are like new each time.

    You could also use one of the little glass cleaner scraper blades (You know plastic handle, flat rubber blade like a windshield wiper) and use that after you shower but most people tend not to remember to do it, so the Rain-X trick works best!

    I really want that farmhouse cabinet in pic 1. Adorable!

    I cannot look at that original minty finish or those chippy barn doors, as cool as they are, without thinking that a big ol’ “lead paint advisory” is appropriate. Anyone who takes something like that into their home, especially one with children, needs to do a lead test on it first and know what they’re doing. You can get lead testing kits at Home Depot; it takes about 2 minutes to test.

      Yes- and then a couple of coats of Peel Stop and they’ll be good to go! 🙂
