We may be a week late to the party, but we are FINISHED!!! My cozy euro cottage core dreams have come true, and our primary bathroom feels like a spa in comparison to what we were working with before.

Why this project took a little longer than expected: If you saw my Instagram post, you will know. If you haven’t, SURPRISE! WE ARE EXPECTING! We couldn’t be any happier. We are currently 17.5 weeks pregnant, and the hyperemesis gravidarum still hasn’t really subsided. Not that I am complaining - however it does slow me down quite significantly! In addition to that, I caught the “C” again and that was another hiccup. Plus we had some serious tree/yard damage during spring storms and our AC went out- SHEW it has been hectic!

ANYWHO. Here we are. We have a completed primary suite and photos to prove it. Keep scrolling!

What do you think? Do you get the cottage core vibes? I couldn’t find a 4 poster vintage king bed so when I found the Beckett bed via Casa One I was SO EXCITED. It nails the vintage vibe, and we absolutely have to have a king bed with the dogs. Shop the Beckett bed here. This beauty is extremely heavy and well made! It truly didn’t take too long to build either.

For the paint color, I chose “Dirty Martini” from Clare Paint (shop here). It is the perfect soft earthy shade of green without being too soft, if that makes sense. The coverage was excellent- two coats covered the previous color well and we didn’t even use a primer. I decided to take the paint color to the ceiling too, because why not?

Bathroom Details:

We were on a budget for this remodel, so we selected mostly in-stock items at our local Lowes/Home Depot. My favorite detail of this bathroom is by far the faucets- they are the Tisbury faucet in polished chrome by Pfister. These beauties are truly the jewelry to the vanity- shop here. I wanted a touch of vintage style but an overall classic design, and these were PERFECT. I have seriously considered taking them with me if/when we move… HA!

The glass shower door is another important feature, as it is such a tight space we didn’t want to close it off with a shower curtain. I found this shower door online and in stock on Wayfair! Exact product here.

The last two days before my photographer came, I was running around trying to finish styling the space. I had been collecting art from thrift stores etc. for a while, but the BEST art came from Marty, a local painter here in Louisville. When Marty reached out asking if I would be interested in some custom artwork, you know I screamed YES! I was certain that I wanted a fox, but she worked with me on the other two pieces to come up with something beautiful and meaningful. Scroll down to see!

Other details:

All of the bedding is a combination of Homegoods, Tjmaxx and Target. The curtains are from Wayfair (now I am obsessed with pinch pleat). The side tables, bench, and dresser are all vintage/locally found.

I think that pretty much sums it up- thank you so much for following along! I am proud of our primary suite now, and it sure feels much more like ME!

Special thanks to One Room Challenge and Better Homes & Gardens for hosting such a fun event- happy 10th anniversary! Make sure to check all of the other reveals out! Everyone has worked so hard. Check them out here.
