Room Inspiration: Life Of Splendor

May 15, 2012 By Layla

Have you e-met Lindsay from Life of Splendor?

She and her husband, Chris, bought a fixer upper a couple of years ago and I’m so excited to share their recent bathroom redo photos here today.

Here’s what the room looked like when they moved in…

…and here’s what it looks like now!

Before…

After!

Before…

After!

Didn’t they do a great job? And how fun is that antique dry sink they turned into a vanity for their vessel sink?

The whole redo cost around $1800 and you can find more of Chris and Lindsay’s happy home improvement ideas over at LifeOfSplendor.com.

And speaking of room renovations- I’m supposed to get a quote back from a carpenter I met with about building some closets in our guest bedroom/home studio/office today or tomorrow, so hopefully it’ll be a good one, and we can cross that project off our to-do list soon too!

Planning and executing the$e kind$ of project$ always seems to require a lot of patience, and I know a guitar-playin’ guy who will be very when this before & after is finally done.

    Have you checked out http://www.ana-white.com for cabinet ideas. I have built some of her plans, and they’ve turned out really well. If the carpenter is out of budget-reach, you may want to give it a try. Even if it’s a disaster, it could make a great blog post! 🙂

      Hey Amy! We love Ana! We’re collaborating with her on something as we speak (shhh!), and we’ll definitely be consulting with her if we aren’t able to afford our custom closet quote! 😀

        Let me know if you need to borrow the tools she uses. I have them all. I’m a tool junkie. 🙂

    That is a great redo! It looks so nice and ‘clean’.
    Why, oh why, did people ever put in those colors, in bathrooms?
    This is a classic look that can last forever.

    I’m gonna have to go check out that blog! She has some of the same idea I have for my bathroom makeover; we must have similar tastes. I had the same idea for a dry sink but couldn’t envision how practical it would be. I LOVE her’s! I also have that very faucet already here.

    This is great; thanks for introducing me to another awesome blog. 🙂

    Hey Layla,
    Beautiful job. love converting furniture pieces into bathroom cabinets. Also love the rope artwork. I am working on a house rehab for a client that has a sink and tub that same shade of dusty pink and the other bathroom is baby blue, typical 1959 decor….
    Have a fab day,
    Kathleen

    The bathroom looks really nice (especially compared to the “before,” how dramatic!) Thanks for sharing, and I can’t wait to see the big office reveal!!! 🙂

    What a spectacular job! Mixing old and new like they did is a great way to both add character and save some bucks.

    Lindsay is one the best, nicest people in the world (not to mention one of my closest friends) with the BEST taste. You couldn’t have picked a better blog to spotlight. And let me tell you–the bathroom is even more stunning in person.

    I love how you have transformed this bathroom! That orange/red “before” picture reminds me of my grandmother’s robin egg blue bathroom!
