I begged for a bunk bedroom, the boys begged for a place to pee. It’s a 4:1 ratio in this house – and yep, you’ve guessed it. The boys won. When, just tell me when I’ll get to trump the family vote??
I’ve decided to swallow my bunk bed dreams and face the fact that I have 3 little men that hang out in the basement around the clock that obviously cannot climb 12 stairs to take a wiz. SO, we give them a nicer bathroom then the one Dan and I have in our master. Of course, right? There is one piece of the bathroom design I was adamant about having – black hexagon floor tile. It is the only component that I truly care about having in this space, and once we placed the order it changed my entire attitude towards pulling the trigger on this room!
In the next few weeks we are pulling inspiration from multiple sources, playing to ultimate game of “Which spouse will get their way?!” and going from A to Z in this bathroom basement that will house the anxious bladders of little boys that will surely wiz all over the walls to their hearts content.
For nearly a year, a little devil on my shoulder keeps pushing me to the idea of a very deep, dark, moody bathroom. I love the idea of our basement housing a bar, and in reflection, having this very underground/chic/modern/retro space. Does that make sense? Probably not, but I can envision the entire room, all the while Danny said NO no NO!
So then I pulled this inspiration – love the hexagon black tile (check) I’m a girl who needs wood, metal, black and texture in every single room in our home – so this space really checked SO many boxes. Dan definitely likes this space more than option numero uno. So, whats a girl to do? Oh, I know – try my best to get away with every drop of what I like because I am a mother to three boys, and a giant boy, and they get to have the final say 99% of the time. If I’m the chick scrubbing dry piss off the walls, I’m going to be the one who gets to choose what walls I’m scrubbing.
Ya heard?
With that all said – Take a look at my mood board. As always, a room done on a budget – so I am always super excited to share with you all my tips and tricks to designing a space on a dime!
Can you guess my dilemma? Yes, sir. The freaking vanity. I truly cannot decide whether I should go more traditional and whiter, because we do not have any windows. OR choose the modern wood floating vanity. IF I could find the white vanity in the wood tones, I’d be sold. But, this chick is really sticking to a budget and the ones that I have found thus far are wayyy to expensive!
Which vanity do you like more?
Tile is getting laid next week, and we’ll keep you guys in the loop with the entire process!
