What a GORGEOUS change and great story - testament to the value of SLOW design and taking your time. When we rush and DO it as fast as someone else wants us to, often the results are not as good as when it takes forever. Also, the value of light, unobstructed, and the beauty of a full wall of white subway tile, trumps the value of storage and eye-level access to drinking glasses and the like. Bravo.

amen amen amen amen! the road is always better than the destination, as they say - and the road is often filled with time waiting, deliberating, breathing, deciding, and saving (all key elements of good design) - one thing i'd add to this list - put away the mags, blogs and design tv from time to time - look inward, not outward for what's next and what's needed in your home!

this is gorgeous - so feminine & playful - thank you for your family's service!

gorgeous transformation - love the choices - proof that almost anything old can be transformed - all you need is creativity!

love it - powder rooms are just the place to be bold, bombastic and evocative. round mirrors rock as well - everyone looks better in them.

this is brilliant - love the colors - simple, beautiful, chic, youthful - love all those soft elements - love the built-in store fronts. gives me ideas and inspiration (and jealousy) for my current blank-slate playroom/basement

omg i LOVE this. what a sophisticated and smart use of pink. as the mother of two boys, this sort of makes me week in the knees. i also love the double mirrors and the series of art over the desk.

This is delicious - on so many fronts. A good place to read is priceless! I also love the dark paint at the top - adds so much depth and takes it out of "closet mode" and into "sweet nook" mode.

Love this invitation for each of us to go our own ways with our homes - to stop copying and competing, and do more soul-searching. To make spaces that are true and beautiful and perfect to us, maybe only to us, the dweller. Who else matters or really cares after all? Awesome, awesome, awesome.

Wow...I love how smooth it is. Nothing says "subflooring" like the roughness of plywood. This is a great discovery on a day I got a painfully expensive quote on flooring for myself. :)
