One Room Challenge: Part 6 – Orlando Interior Designer

November 8, 2018 by Julie Filed Under: Bathroom Remodel Leave a Comment

One Room Challenge Week 6: One Bumpy Ride…

Gulp martini. Toss cocktail pick into glass. Saunter off. Sharply turn to face party. “Fasten your seatbelts. It’s going to be a bumpy night.” Raise eyebrows.

I’m feeling as sassy and triumphant as Bette Davis in All About Eve.

This was not an easy project. Everything stayed on budget and on schedule, mostly, but only because I had the “A-Team” of trade professionals. There were days that I had trades scheduled back-to-back. Praying [literally] that nothing went wrong with trade A so trade B wouldn’t need to be rescheduled because that might mean a 2 week delay… seriously my guys stay booked!

Constant vigilance. A lot of planning. Superior professionals. No downtime.

Not to mention that I spent nearly every waking minute on the weekends doing my part. Now, it’s finally here!! After a very bumpy ride, the photos are done and I get to share this little piece of heaven with you!

I’m ready for my close-up!

The Vanity

I think my favorite part about the vanity is the way the champagne bronze accents play off of the golden metallic color in the wallpaper. The globe style lights are set on a tapered bar, which add a glamorous mid-century touch.

Vanity Sources

Cabinets: White Shaker Vanity by Prime Cabinetry | Hardware: Chapman BR by Worlds Away | Faucet: Trinsic in Champagne Bronze by Delta | Mirror: Vintage | Counter Surface: All Quality Granite in Orlando, FL | Lighting: Jasper Bath Bar in Natural Brass by Kichler | Wallpaper: Dwell Studios for York Wall Coverings “Plume”

Full Vanity Wall Shots

The wide shots of the room give you a view of the gorgeous repeat pattern on the wallpaper. I have gotten a lot of complements on this selection. People really love the soft blue color and the stylized peacocks. It is definitely in keeping with the style and color palette of the house and best of all, it’s not yellow!

Details

“Love is in the details,” as my friend says. This bathroom certainly got a lot of love. From the lighting to the accessories, everything was chosen to tell a story about the space – glamorous, retro, soft, feminine.

Let’s take a moment and appreciate from whence we came…

This is the bathroom at its best in the real estate photos. Here the yellow color isn’t quite as jarring as it was in person. The banana beige and canary yellow had a synergistic effect. The vanity had once been a dark stained wood color, but was painted over in white and had yellowed over time. The bar style lighting, though interesting, was rusted and falling apart. The oversized mirror was losing some of its backing. Not to mention that CARPET… it was… soggy.

The finished product. Beautiful, bold peacock wall paper. White, well constructed wood vanity with retro hardware. Light gray quartz counter surface. White dual flush, water saving toilet. White lacquered vintage “bamboo” mirror. Beautiful terrazzo floors polished to a shine.  Glam globe-style vanity lights. And not a speck of yellow left!

I’d Like to Thank the Academy

My “crack team” of trade pros:

Electrical – Henry Electric

Plumbing – Frank Gay Plumbing

Drywall work – New Ceilings

Wallpaper – The Wallpaper Guy

Everything else by yours truly (or my better half)!

I hope you enjoyed this ride with me! It was such a great experience. I’m already trying to decide what room I might do next Spring for the One Room Challenge! My only regret for this project is that I didn’t include video in the blog. I think I had gotten so busy with all of the remodeling projects around the house that I stopped vlogging for a period of time. If you’re interested in following along with our project from start to finish you can check out the vlog on my You Tube channel. The first video is below. Our renovation journey began on closing day by ripping out that awful carpet!
