More master bath.....

Can a bathroom make you feel like a movie star? Sounds good to me! We're a couple weeks before the big move and I'm excited to get settled. The master bath is one room I'm excited to redo. It's going to have this 1930s regency glamour look. Found some more great inspiration pictures to share....






Here's some inspiration from 'Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day'..... my favorite is the vanity. So glamorous!!! Everything seems to sparkle.

Old Hollywood bathroom......

I was packing up the bathroom and dividing the decor between master bath and guest bath and it hit me. The master bath decor was very old Hollywood. A mirrored candle holder, elegant containers, vintage perfume bottles, etc. Hmmm.... and then I started thinking.... What about an old Hollywood inspired master bath featuring white and mirrored accents, cushy rugs, vintage furniture and silk like draperies? Couldn't stop thinking about it after that. It's gonna take some prepwork, but I can't wait to make it come true. Until then I can feast on these gems from the web. What do you think? Who's your favorite old Hollywood starlet?


Old Hollywood is seeped in luxury.



Love the silver tubs!




So elegant!

If you had a pink Christmas tree...... (Pink Saturday)


I know, it's not even Halloween, but since we'll be moving soon, we won't be decorating for fall. So my attention has turned to Christmas. In honor of Pink Saturday I wanted to pose a question....

What would you do if you had a pink Christmas tree?

Would you accent it with silver? Maybe stick in some pink or white roses? How about some lace "garland?" I can't wait to hear your answers! Happy Pink Saturday!!!!!!

Rose Cottage is MOVING!!!......

So we've been looking for what feels like forever and had made an offer on a lovely foreclosed 1909 Victorian farmhouse not as a joke, but never thinking we had a chance. We had always admired the house and it's one of the most preserved historical homes in town. It was a redone as a Bed and Breakfast about two years ago, so many of the major things have been updated. A couple weeks later after making our first offer our Realtor let us know we were in the top three, but the bank wanted to change the funding. So we submitted another offer, praying we'd have a chance. Well, God is more than good!!! Got word it's sale pending for us and we signed papers Saturday! :) The first order of business is redoing the front yard.



I found some pictures of when it was a bed and breakfast.... so lovely! I know the former owner and she put a lot into the house. We hope to bring it back to its former glory and then some.
