DIY with Target Threshold this Spring

How about we step out of the kitchen for a little bit and chat? Do you mind? I love the kitchen and all but the rest of my house is just as fun to visit as my kitchen. Today I want to take you just around the corner of my kitchen to my bathroom. Yes, my bathroom. No, I haven’t lost my marbles. I want to take you to this bathroom because Target Threshold recently gave me the challenge (and some money to execute the challenge) to brighten a room in my house.

As I walked through each of the rooms of my home thinking about which would be best I always settled back to the first floor bathroom. I haven’t mentioned it much around these parts but during the holidays we unexpectantly moved to a new home (that is a long story for another day) that has WAY MORE bathrooms than our old house. (We use to have only one VERY SMALL bathroom for the four of us). I am not complaining, don’t get me wrong. Anyway, we moved into a bigger place that is beautiful but there are many a room in this house that we have not furnished nor decorated because our budget just hasn’t allowed for that. The first room I wanted to tackle? You have got it, the first floor bathroom! It is the bathroom that nearly every guest visits when they enter our home; at least if they have to use the restroom. It is also right off our formal dining room and was so drab and plain with no character. Not anymore! I had a $200 budget and the disposal of the entire Target Threshold line at my disposal. Here is a before and after. . . . . . what do you think? Want to come over for dinner to visit my bathroom? Come on over, you are welcome! I absolutely LOVE it! And it is very different from the way I thought it would be. I was having a hard time with this room because it is off our formal dining room that is a scarlet color. The wood is espresso, almost black, but the floors have an orange and grey tile. I was really struggling with whether it should be a formal black and scarlet color or a more neutral and brown color. Then, I found this stool! I was in love. I used the stool as the inspiration for the room, played on my favorite colors together, that green and teal, and threw in a little of the scarlet color for accent. It’s the right mix of classic and modern. An effortless elegance. Beautiful, yet affordable. Designed for a lifetime of housewarmings. It’s everything you’ll love about your home.
