Paper Goes Awry

Not everything goes according to plan at River House. Yesterday the Kenneth James Juan Chan grasscloth wallpaper began falling off the walls in the half bath. Thankfully, the installer is coming this afternoon to repair it. But we are very curious as to why several piece decided to let go at the same time.

The nightstands and bed for our rear bedroom were delivered today. The nightstands are the Del Sol Bedside Table from Tommy Bahama's Bali Hai collection. They look terrific with the Mahogany Swirl chest from David Francis, which we love but has been discontinued. The upholstered bed is the Carmine bed from Eastern Accents , covered in Blick Denim .  New nightstands and bed for the rear bedroom; personal collection

Screen Porch Furniture Layout

Image
I like to layout out furniture on a floor plan to ensure there is balance in the room and the furniture isn't "piled" up on one side making the room look out of balance or heavy on one side.

This is my first attempt at a furniture layout for the screen porch. The goal, again being balance.

Another words, furniture may be placed in front of them.

Master Bath Counters and Sinks

We chose the same quartz counters for our bathroom as we did in the kitchen -- Cambria USA Fairbourne .

I thought the rectangular shape worked well in our bathroom as the layout of the room is very rectangular. We also used these sinks in Bath 2 -- the guest bathroom. The 4" backsplash made out of the countertop material will be removed and instead we'll use the glass mosaic tile we're using in the shower for the backsplash.
