🚽 Bathroom Reveal 🚽

The bathroom is finally complete!


You can check out the former state of the bathroom here. It was the most important project on my list and now it's one of my favorite places in our new home. One major benefit of having a small en-suite bathroom means that it is all mine! It is the perfect size for just one person, so I don't have to share with anyone.



After removing the dated glass doors, I hung a fresh white and beige striped shower curtain. The beige warms up the space a bit and ties in the golden wallpaper. I also use beige towels that have a scroll pattern - using different patterns in the same color family livens up the neutral space. 


For hand towels and rugs, I opted for a deeper sage green than the pale green on the painted walls. Playful additions include the golden evil eye mirror, phases of the moon wall art and gold door-mounted hooks. I'm really loving the serene feeling this green & gold combo has lent to the bedroom and en suite bathroom!


Finally, I added some bold, black details for contrast and drama. Since the vanity is very streamlined, it doesn't include much counter space. To remedy that, I added slim black shelves above the toilet and to the side of the sink. A round, black-framed mirror replaced the bulky medicine cabinet. I also included black hardware like a towel ring, mounted towel rack and toilet paper holder. A black bamboo shower mat hides the peeling tile paint I still need to figure out. 


I am really happy with the progress so far. There are a few more items I would still like to update:
  • new lighting
  • new floor tiles
  • new shower tiles
  • painted trim
  • new baseboards

I have to take myself back to YouTube University to unlock the next level of DIY expertise. Perhaps there will be a 2nd bathroom reveal post in our future. Until then, happy summer friends!

🫄Resource Round-up: Motherhood Edition 🫄

Image
I recently returned to the office after maternity leave. It was a nourishing time to welcome our sweet babe, Keanu, and I'm feeling energized and excited to be back to work! Partly because I love my job and partly because I made sure to pamper myself throughout my pregnancy and post-partum period. Growing a tiny human is no small feat so I assembled an all-star team of care providers to help me feel my best. This is a list of the incredible people that helped me through this pregnancy journey. I recommend them to any expecting family! Mama Sutra Loving Arts: Sokhna Heathyre Mabin I met Sokhna on my last trip to India and she immediately made me long to have another baby, I can't believe it actually happened! I learned so much about breastfeeding from Sokhna and I was supported by her guidance, yoga practices, herbal teas and soaks throughout my pregnancy and post-partum journey. She is a magical human, doula, lactation consultant and expert in all things motherhood. She is base...

🍼 Nursery Reveal 🍼

Image
Today, my husband and I celebrate our 13 year wedding anniversary! We actually got married at the courthouse about 6 months prior to our wedding so we always have a little debate on whether this is considered an anniversary. I like to recognize both the wedding and marriage ...so happy anniversary to us!  Do you have funny recurring inside jokes with your fam? Those feel like home.  Speaking of home... onto the reveal! The Nursery - the first room we finished! Inspired by Keanu's name, which means "cool breeze", and his sign, Pisces, The Nursery incorporates art, furniture, and color that evokes nature, specifically the water element.  I truly am enamored with the color we chose, Permafrost. The baby blue hue feels luminescent, a big change from the listless grey walls that stifled the house before we bought it. The tone feels like a cool breeze itself! Here's a  short video I posted to TikTok @allison.of.altamo When I decorated Cristiano's nursery, we went with a...

👍 Local Spotlight: Revival Chiropractic 👍

Image
  February and March were a couple of action-packed months here in Altamonte! We celebrated Cristiano's 5th birthday in grand style with a whole week of parties. We welcomed family and friends to our new home for Superbowl and for our Nesting Party. We wrapped it all up by meeting our brand new son, Keanu Beckham Gibson, on March 4th! In between all of the excitement, we've continued creating our sweet family sanctuary, which I am so excited to share more of soon!  First, however, I want to share one of my favorite places in our new neighborhood: Revival Chiropractic. Early on in my pregnancy, I started researching prenatal chiropractic care. I was interested in bodywork to help encourage the natural birth process. I am a huge advocate of natural, holistic healing and I had heard good things about the Webster technique. One day, I woke up with terrible neck and rib pain. I went to work but had such limited mobility that I called Revival and made an appointment that same day. I...
