Berry Bathroom Boudoir - Chateau Ces't la Vie.

Inspiration Board for: Bathroom
Client: Chateau Ces't la Vie.
From time to time I will be adding inspiration boards as well as before and after pictures of the Design Updates I do in my own home, a place lovingly called - Chateau Ces't la Vie.

The bathroom - a formerly golden-colored and traditional styled space - was overdue for a fresh injection of Spring. Enter a new bold, delicious wall color and a juxtaposition of contemporary and traditional decorative elements and the transformation begins.

Breakdown of numbered items as follows:
1. The Gorgeous Color I chose for the walls an almost eatable color appropriately called - Raspberry Pudding by Behr's Ultra Premium line.
2. The pedestal sink that ties into the subtle French Boudoir-esque quality of the bathroom.
3. The Custom Cabinetry my handy husband built from scratch to house all of our linens and towels.
4. The bathroom was formerly dressed with very obsolete-looking  syntheticsliding doors, these were removed and replaced with a curved metal shower curtain rod and dressed with a cream fabric curtain that softens the raspberry walls and brings in the cream colored subway tiles of the shower and surrounding walls.
5. Bringing in mirrors to open up the space is one of my favorite decorative tricks. This one will be placed strategically across the gorgeous chandelier to reflect the light beautifully.
6. I am a strong believer in repurposing what you already own. I will be spray painting old frames I had in storage an antique silver, which will then be hung on the walls in an interesting pattern.  The result will be a clean-lined contemporary contrast to many of the existing traditional elements.
7-10 is all about the carefully chosen accessories that will bring the entire look together beautifully. Marrying the raspberry, cream and silver color scheme beautifully.

Before and After pictures of the entire transformation to come very soon.
