POWDER ROOM

The powder room is done.  

Well, almost.  

The mirror (had to have) is from Pottery Barn.

The overhead light fixture (not what I really wanted but will do for now) is from Home Depot or Lowe's, I forget.

The marble counter top (had to have) is a remnant from Acadiana Stone in Lafayette.  Evan Taylor is who I worked with.  We got all of the marble and granite in the house from them.  If you need granite or marble call Evan.  He will make sure you are happy.

The faucet is from Lowe's.

The soap dispenser, Target.

The hand towel (so cute), Target.

The hand towel stand, Bed, Bath and Beyond.

The cabinet built by Trey Coughlin in Jeanerette.  Trey built all of the cabinets throughout the house.

Cabinet knobs, Target.

Brick pavers on the floor.

Love it.

This is to the left of vanity.  We did a small window for natural light.  The toilet is from Coburn's Supply.  Love that you flush it by pulling the knob on top of the tank.

Now this room needs a little more.  Something on the wall over the toilet.  Maybe a black and white photo in a black frame or a black and white print.  I don't know.  Any advice is welcome.  What do you think?  Maybe some of my favorite bloggers will give me advice via a comment.  (hint hint), like  Layla from The Lettered Cottage  or Rhoda from Southern Hospitality.

Sigh, this is the view from the powder room

Ok, I know my pictures are not that great.  

Plus the flash on my camera has went ka-put.  

I need a new one and with all of the many choices out there.  I don't know which one to get or where to get it.  

I can relate to Joni of Cote De Texas in her post about her camera.  

I really want one that will take the best shots possible since photography is one of my loves.  

Oh and my birthday is coming up.  (hint, hint Bryant)

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY

TO DADDY:

Thank you for being the first man to hold my hand.

Thank you for loving our mom through thick and thin.

Thank you for being gentle with us.  

Thank you for the gifts of life, family, love and humility.

Thank you for the kisses that you gave all of us as we slept before you went to work.  I pretended to be asleep for a lot of them.

Thank you for making us laugh.

But most of all Thank you for being you.

I love you Daddy.

Love,

Debbie

INSIDE OF PANRY- DONE

Well, the pantry is done.  I love it.  It is perfect for what I need.  We had leftover baseboards, so my awesome contractor used them to make the shelves.  I had the shelves all stained to match the baseboards and crown molding in the rest of the house.

It's not like Eddie Ross's new pantry, but it's mine, all mine.

On this side, I organized all of our entertaining ware.  It's not that big, so I could not get a wider shot.  This is to the left as you walk in.

This is walking straight in.

And this is to the right.

MASTER SHOWER - DONE

My husband did not want anything fancy, but I had to give him a few body sprays.  Love the natural light for the window.

Color on wall is silver mist, just like the master bedroom.  We used mosaic ceramic tile that matches the ceramic tile on bathroom floor.  Also used is crema marfil marble on the walls. Travertine trim to finish it.  

Next post, I hope to have pictures of the new tub area.   I will need help decorating in that space.  I'm not sure what to do.

Ok, on to the next project.

I'M BACK......

I know it's been awhile since I've posted, but we have been very busy around here.

First off, Miss Rylee Claire Lemoine was born May 25th.  She is just adorable and Megan is such a good mom.  It is a joy to watch my daughter taking care of her daughter.

How cute is that?

Next up, the house.  

We spent our second night in the new house last night.  We still have last minute things being done as I type this.  But we are almost there.  We are still not fully moved out of our other house, but should be by end of next week.

I will probably host an open house there after we get it all cleaned up.  If you know anyone in the market for a beautiful home with a pool (in this area), please let them know it is available and almost ready to move into.

It took 8 months to get to this point, but we are finally here.

This is before...........

And after.................

All we have left for the front porch is the shutters, they are being painted and should be installed next week.

As we continue to complete different areas of the house, I will post about it.

For now, these are a few of my favorite things so far:

The beautiful gas lantern from Bevelo located in New Orleans.

Love the backsplash.  We will have the hood faux finished with a paint color to match the tiles in the backsplash.  It really looks too white.

The pantry door.  Later I will show pictures of the inside.  It kind of reminds me of an old general store.

Be back soon!  I promise.
