When we bought our split-level home, the lower level had a bathroom roughed in; but it was only a cement floor and studs. We built this bathroom from the ground up. For some aspects, such as drywall, tiling, etc., we had to use professionals as we were unqualified; but whatever we could do ourselves, we did, in order to keep costs down as much as possible; we painted, installed the cabinets, etc. The whole project ended up costing around $4,000. As with the rest of my home, I decorated the bathroom with accent pieces from world travels; serene Buddha from Japan, carved wooden animals from Sri Lanka, decorative tiles from Turkey, tall floor vase from Spain.

The Patently Pink Poultry Palace, So I love the color pink and I love chickens. But with no daughters to justify painting a room pink, and living in the 'burbs rather than farm country, what was I to do about either? My passion for poultry and pink seemed doomed... but then my city ok'd the keeping of backyard chickens, as long as it was fewer than 25 hens, and no roosters. Hooray! I was back in business, and determined to combine both of these passions. After all, hens are girls... I could totally justify a pink chicken coop! And so I give you: Kyra's Patently Pink Poultry Palace., Yards Design

Small Dining Area, We have a pretty small dining area, right off our kitchen. I wish it could accommodate a buffet or hutch, but there's no room. We added what character we could with a dark red accent wall, and our beloved rustic pine dining set from Mexico, which we purchased as newlyweds. It was one of our first "domestic purchases". It seats 6 people comfortably but can accommodate eight - there are two more matching dining chairs that we pull out when necessary. I suppose we could free up room for a side piece if we were to downsize to a smaller dining set, especially since we rarely entertain eight people... but that's a sacrifice we're unwilling to make. We've been thinking about adding a white chair rail along the red wall... what do you guys think?, Dining Rooms Design

Pale Blue Master Bedroom, Our master bedroom is fairly large and was painted the same beige that the builder painted the whole house, until I recently repainted it a crisp pale blue with a chocolate brown accent wall. Textiles and accessories feature brown and red pretty prominently. Furniture consists of pieces acquired over the years based on how much we liked them, not out of a desire to have everything "matchy-matchy". Though the furniture represents some different colors and styles, I've tried to gain cohesion through the red and brown accessories and textiles. Tips for further cohesion in the room would be welcome. Overall we're quite happy with how it's shaping up (:, Bedrooms Design

Casual funky eclectic family room, I was going for a loosely Moroccan-inspired, funky, casual and fun, global-eclectic family room. This space is on the lower level of our split-entry home, in a daylight/walkout basement area. I know the TV is a real old clunky eyesore and the space would look so much better with a sleek new flatscreen. I'll get to it eventually but really, watching TV is a super low priority in this household. There are other ways we prefer to spend our time and money! (:, Living Rooms Design

Master bathroom with vintage touch, This is a newly constructed master bathroom. I went with a vintage feel using hexagon tiles on shower floor and adding a claw foot tub. Dark beadboard cabinetry, glass knobs and carrara marble counters. I was inspired by a recent stay at Watch Hill's newly rebuilt Oceanhouse Hotel in Rhode Island.
Wall paint color is Benjamin Moore Beach Glass. , Bathrooms Design

Our Jack n Jill bath divorced , March 2013 we decided to hire out the last big remodel, upstairs "jack & Jill" bath. With one toilet, a second sink area neither used, and three pocket doors breaking up the space, we needed a better bath. We got 2 full modern baths with one as off master suite., Bathrooms Design

SMALL BATHROOM SOLUTIONS, So you're renting, and the bathrooms aren't quite the same size as what you use to have? Lack of storage space? Lack of wall space? Just lack of space - period? Here's a few small changes I made to one of our now small bathrooms. In our FL townhome before, we had 2 and a 1/2 bathrooms, offering both space + storage. Now we've gone to two, probably equally the size of our master bathroom before. A small space transformation like this can be done in a day. It's simple enough for a rental, or even a home staging if you need to sell. If you're looking for a simple weekend project for your home, this would be a great project to do, plus maybe add stencil or stripes to the walls for extra wow.
