When a dream becomes a reality.
The dream was this pantry and the reality is... it actually turned out beyond anything I even dreamed of. I turned this builder grade room into the most perfect cottage-y, modern-traditional, warm, inviting space a pantry ever could be. From the custom built-in arch cabinets, white concrete countertops, vertical budget-friendly paneling, the calming yet bold green cabinet paint color, to the lived-in full shelves of all things HOME, this room is everything and more.
Third times a charm.
This water closet stayed boring builder grade for several years until I renovated it in March of 2022. I added a floral wallpaper that the minute I finished I knew wasn't right but the task of removing daunted me. So we lived with it for almost two years and February of 2024 I finally decided to give it the most dramatic makeover. This rich deep red-brown tone makes me smile every single day. Even being a room that gets zero natural light, the color brings so much life and warmth.
