NEW HOUSE: GUEST BATHROOM DESIGN BOARD

April 13, 2021 By houseofhargrove@gmail.com

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Floor & Decor. All opinions are 100% mine.

Today I am sharing another design board for our new home. . . our guest bathroom. I want our guest bathroom to feel luxurious and clean. We are using timeless materials, with unique details that make the impact in this room. Our pool bath was more playful and fun, but I wanted this bathroom to feel serene. I found the most beautiful tile at Floor & Decor and I cannot wait to share everything with you!

I had some ideas for our bathroom design, but was thrilled to learn about Floor & Decor’s free design service! This is such an amazing service they offer their customers at all of their locations. Not only are they so helpful at making your vision come to reality, but they are very knowledgeable about all the details (sealer, grout, etc) and help keep you on budget. I cannot wait to share this experience with you. First, here are some details. . .

LAYOUT:

Our home is 1 story and the guest room is in the front of the house. The guest bathroom will be connected to the bedroom and can be shut off for privacy when we have guests spend the night, but it will also have a door to the hallway that can be used as an extra bathroom regularly.

INSPIRATION:

One wall in the bathroom will be the vanity (you can see in the rendering above). This wall will have white custom cabinets with lots of storage, a sink and mirror above with 2 sconces on each side. I am doing a unique counter top on this vanity that I am super excited about. It will have a marble backsplash with a ledge and pretty carving on each side. Here are some inspiration pics.

On this wall I am thinking of adding some beautiful marble tile almost like a wallpaper and then putting a mirror and sconces on both sides.

Here is my inspiration photo for the shower. I am using this inspo picture in several rooms of my home. I love the simplicity and classic look of the subway tile and how they used trim pieces to make it more interesting.

FLOOR & DECOR

A beautiful new Floor & Decor opened in McKinney on 380 and I was very excited to check it out. Like I mentioned above, Floor & Decor offers FREE DESIGN SERVICES at all of their locations. Before my visit I set up an appointment with Tahra, one of their designers and I was very excited to meet with her and go over some of my ideas.

When I arrived at the store I was so impressed by how beautiful everything was. They have lots of vignettes set up with different tile so you can see what things look like in a room, different grout colors, etc. The store is very organized and easy to shop.

I arrived a little early so I walked around looking at all these beautiful spaces and then headed over to meet Tahra. She was the sweetest and so helpful! If you are local I definitely recommend meeting with her! We sat down in her office and went over my inspiration images, my floor plan, budget, etc.

 

Tahra’s office

After discussing the look I was trying to achieve, we grabbed a cart and walked the store together. We headed to the marble section. They have a huge selection and it is organized so well. Everything is arranged by color so there was a “cool marble” (Carrara marble) section and a “warmer marble” (Calcutta marble) section. I was drawn to the cooler/Carrara marble tile. Everything was shown on the wall with the price and then the product was directly below it. You can just grab what you need.

We continued walking the aisles and added things to our cart to create a mood board. It was so much easier seeing it all together. We looked at all the different tiles and trim pieces.

Here was the subway tile area. Yall, subway tile is only $0.15 per piece! That is so exciting. Not only do I love it, but the price is incredible!!

Floor & Decor also has really helpful boards set up to help you visualize things like grout colors! We are going to be using a warm grey. They have a special grout that has the sealant already in it!! Yes please!

They also have pieces for shower benches, niches, transitions, etc for incredible prices!

After Tahra and I picked everything out we went back to her office to review and get a quote. The process was super easy and so helpful. Floor & Decor really has everything you need in a 1 stop shop!

REASONS I LOVE FLOOR & DECOR

  • Free Design Service at every location
  • Lowest price guaranteed. They will match competitor pricing
  • Have product in stock. Many tile places are custom order so you have to wait, at Floor & Decor it is in stock ready to go.
  • They will buy back unused material!!! How amazing is that?! It is always better to have extra so you don’t run out mid project, but you don’t want to have to spend extra. With Floor & Decor you don’t have to. They will buy back all your extra material even if the box has been half used!
  • They have samples you can check out for your project so you can see everything in your actual space.

Even though I went in with an idea of what I was wanting, Tahra made the process so much easier. She really helped me stay focused and think about things I might not have otherwise. We came up with some beautiful selections and I’m so excited to share our guest bathroom design with you.

I love how everything pulled together and the tile will be the main design statement in this room. There were many beautiful options, but I was most drawn to the Moonstone Flower Mosiac tile for the feature wall above my vanity. It adds just the right amount of pattern. The marble hex tile will be going on the floor and the subway tile and trim will help complete the shower look I want from my inspiration photo.

Thank you so much to Floor & Decor. Tahra, really helped make my guest bathroom vision come to life and I am grateful that Floor & Decor offers such an amazing selection, budget friendly prices and incredible customer service. Their free design services, price matching, sample program and buy back program make them an invaluable resource! If you are building or have a remodel project I can’t recommend Floor & Decor enough!

✨REMODEL UPDATE: DAUGHTER’S BATHROOM ✨

Throughout this remodel you will see two constant goals…brighten up the spaces & add functional storage. This bathroom was dark & dated. We took everything out and had a fresh start. 

🩵 comment SHOP for sources

•New paint, wallpaper, tile, fixtures, lighting, etc.
•Raised the height of the counters & some additional cabinetry extending up to the ceiling for much needed storage. 
•Added cute details to the side of the counters
•Removed the tub & added a glass door to the shower to make the space feel bigger & more open.

BEST PUMPKIN PIE RECIPE...Pumpkin Chiffon Pie

Want to bring/make the favorite dish this year for Thanksgiving?? Look no further!

🤎🥧 Comment PIE to have the recipe sent to your DM

To be honest, I am not a huge traditional pumpkin pie fan.  However, this pumpkin pie my mom made growing up is my all time favorite.  It is pumpkin flavored, but very light.  It is absolutely delicious. If you are hosting this year or bringing a dessert, I highly recommend trying this Pumpkin Chiffon Pie!  It is sure to be a family & crowd favorite!

This recipe will always remind me of my mom & she gave me the original hand written recipe card that I have framed in my butlers pantry. It’s very special to me! Can’t wait to make it with her this Thanksgiving!

💚 I’m so excited to finally share my office reveal! 💚

It’s amazing what a little wallpaper and fabric can do to completely transform a room. I found the most beautiful designs at @spoonflower — one of my go-to sources for wallpaper and textiles.

From the wallpapered ceiling, to the block-print café curtains and coordinating fabric on the lamp and chair, these prints truly pulled the whole space together. The quality, selection, and customization options at Spoonflower are incredible!

I couldn’t love this space more. 
💚 Comment SHOP and I’ll send over all my sources!

✨Y’ALL… I’M OBSESSED!!! ✨ 

When we built this house, I dreamed of having gas lanterns—but with a propane tank, it just didn’t make sense. Back then, the “flame” bulbs that existed were super orange and totally fake-looking.

Fast forward to now… I found these new LED bulbs on Amazon and they are a complete GAME CHANGER. The color, the flicker—everything looks just like a real flame! They’re even prettier in person and at such a good price point.

I had to wait a little bit on shipping, but totally worth it!

📍WOODSTOCK, VT

This was one of my favorite stops on our fall New England trip. Seriously the most charming town. Think Star Hollows!

Everything was walkable and oh so charming.

🍁 TO DO:
*on the way to Woodstock check out Cold Hollow Cider Mill & get some donuts

•Sugarbush Farm: maple syrup & locally crafted cheese
•explore downtown: lots of cute shops (121 Home, F.H. Gillingham & Sons)
•get ice cream at Woodstock Scoops
•visit covered bridges: Middle Bridge (in town), Taftsville bridge
•Woodstock Inn..absolutely stunning! Get lots of pictures
•walk Pleasant St and see the famous pumpkin fence house & other gorgeous homes

🍁 FOOD:
•Montvert
•Soulfully Good Cafe

We stayed at The Shire. It was perfect for our family. Had a cute little market across the street that we picked some food up at one night and just went back to our room and watched a movie. We picked Goodwill Hunting since we were headed to Harvard the next day. It was a fun little evening.

we didn’t have time for this, but lots of people go hike  Quechee Gorge which is nearby & supposed to be incredible. 

We did Stowe & Woodstock and although I liked both, Woodstock was my favorite.

Driving around New England in the fall is spectacular. Everything looks like a painting. 

I highly recommend adding the scenic Kancamagus Highway to your trip. We left Kennebunkport, ME and took the Kancamagus Hwy on our way to Stowe, VT. It might not be the most direct way, but it was totally worth it. It’s 34 miles long through the White Mountains.

We left ample time that day so we could stop take pictures, explore, etc. 

TIP: make sure you have a full tank of gas, have snacks, go to the bathroom, etc. before you get started because there’s nowhere to stop on the way.

TOP SPOTS TO SEE:
• Albany covered bridge
• Lower Falls
• Rocky Gorge
• Sabbaday Falls
• Sugar Hill scenic overlook

• Champney Falls (if you have more time) This stop involves a more lengthy hike to see them

Have y’all ever driven “The Kanc” before? If so what were your favorite stops?

Also, if you see something that catches your eye just pull over. Some of the favorite spots we found while traveling New England were just random pit stops on the side of the road. Everything is gorgeous around there this time of year and looks like a postcard.

Salem surprised us… 
it was so much more than witches and Halloween. It’s a cute coastal town full of charm! Brick streets, cobblestone, gorgeous architecture, beautiful parks old candy shops…such a cute town.

You will hear mixed reviews. Some people love it at Halloween. Some people say avoid it. Yes it’s crowded, yes it’s touristy, but we loved it. We love Hocus Pocus so we soaked in all of that fun, but then we explored and really saw how beautiful everything was when you get outside of the main downtown area.

We were there a couple of hours & got everything in. It’s the perfect day trip from Boston. 

TO DO:
•Explore downtown
•get a picture with the Bewitched statue
•We took a self guided Hocus Pocus tour (see my other reel with all the spots and addresses), there are tons of guided ones if you prefer that
•walk by The Witch House
•check out the backyard at Ropes Mansion
•stroll Essex Street (keep walking straight past Ropes Mansion-Allison’s house in Hocus Pocus) & you’ll walk right into a gorgeous neighborhood full of Colonial homes. 
•go see Max & Dani’s house from the movie & explore that neighborhood. More gorgeous homes right on the coast
•Pioneer Village was fun to see
•if you’re into all the spooky stuff there are tons of tours and museums you can check out.

We had pizza at Flying Saucer & it was delicious. It was a fun little Halloween festive stop for us that we all enjoyed.
Almost everything is walkable.

Best road trip advice...just pull over!

We had a lot of time in the car on our trip to New England last year with lots of famous outlook sites and stops planned. Don’t get me wrong...they were all amazing, but some of the prettiest areas we saw were just random parts off the road. We would see something from the window and just pull over to soak it in. 
The trees are gorgeous everywhere, there is so much water, beautiful churches, cute little country stores, old cemeteries, barns, bridges...you name it!
This particular spot was somewhere in New Hampshire that we just saw and pulled over and it turned out to be one of our favorite photos! There was no one else there. It looks like a postcard and there are spots like this everywhere. Some of my favorite times on the trip were just driving in the car and soaking it all in! 🧡💛❤️🍂🍁

📍Stowe, Vermont

We visited Stowe in Mid October last year. The weather was absolutely gorgeous and the leaves didn’t disappoint. We were there during the week so it wasn’t overly crowded.
It had a small town, relaxed feel, but was bigger than some of the other places we visited. In the winter it’s a big ski town & it definitely had that vibe. 

We went with kids and it was a great family spot. We focused on kid friendly activities and restaurants.

EXPLORE DOWNTOWN:
⛪️ See the beautiful Stowe Community Church
🛍️ Explore the cute shops (Country Store on Main & Farm Home Marketplace were some of my favorites)
🥞 Breakfast at The Butlers Pantry...pro tip...it’s a very popular quaint restaurant in the heart of downtown with long waits BUT you can join the Yelp waitlist online before you go. We were able to walk right in
📸 Picture in front of the Stowe mural on the side of Laughing Moon Chocolates

VIEWS:
•Smugglers Notch Drive
•Gondola Sky Ride
•Drive on mountain road (just outside of downtown) for lots of great picture spots. This video is taken from a lookout about 2 min out of downtown.

ACTIVITIES:
🌽 Percy Farm corn maze was a hit with the kids
•Brookdale Bridge is close by and beautiful
🎶 Von Trapp Lodge & Brewery are worth seeing. Beautiful views & you can get a day pass to enjoy the incredible property

OTHER POPULAR ATTRACTIONS:
🍦 Ben & Jerry’s factory tour 
🍎 Cold Hollow Cider Mill
•Gold Brook Covered Bridge

🧀BUILD A CHARCUTERIE SPREAD PARTY🧀

Ok y’all…you need to throw this party! 
SO.MUCH.FUN & so easy!

So the idea is everyone brings their favorite item for a charcuterie board to the party. Can be a cheese, cracker, dip, but, meat, jelly, sweet…you get the idea.
Then by the end of the night you leave with some new ideas for your own parties.

It’s a great time of year to host to get new ideas before the busy holiday/hosting season.

I just put butcher paper out on my island and got the board started with a few of my favorites. Then as guests rolled in the continued to add to the spread.

It was so yummy & easy. Guests only need to bring 1 item and the host doesn’t have to provide a ton.

I highly recommend throwing this party with your group of friends!!

Great good, great company…such a wonderful night!
🍇🫒🧀🥖🥓

❤️What’s your favorite item on a charcuterie board?? Share in the comments!

**one of the top items was a biscuit stuffed with Boursin cheese**

**last party’s top item was: baby arugula with avocado oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper- season to taste. Then take a little bunch of arugula and wrap 1/2 a slice of prosciutto around it**
