Tiny Home Bedroom Progress Update

I have been really bad about blogging this year in general… but I really have to show you a little progress on the Tiny Home! Today I am going to share the bedroom remodel so far. For the most part everything is completed, except the flooring and of course the final decorating.

Our design concept/inspiration for the entire Tiny Home has been clean and simple. We wanted to go with more neutral colors and then add pops of color in the bedding, pillows, rugs, etc. Those items are generally inexpensive and easily interchangeable.

The bedroom is very tiny about 7 ft x 12 ft to be exact, but it has a lot of storage! The cutest little sliding pocket door offers privacy, but I think it also adds a ton of character to the space. I didn't have a picture of the pocket door closed.. but it slides into the pocket on the left side of the door frame in the picture above.

Before we were greeted with Oak cabinetry, wood trim, cream carpet, yellowing ceiling panels, and wall paper.

After a few coats of ceiling and trim paint, a new wall color, and painted cabinets… this room looks brand new. I love how much more open it feels just by painting the walls and cabinets.

I purchased the new wall sconces HERE. I decided to use mixed metals throughout the tiny home because I am not really a “matchy matchy” kind of person. Until you put a gray organizing crate next to a white organizing crate… then we will have issues. 😂

I have been dreaming of white cabinetry with these gold pulls for a little while now… and when we decided to take on this project, I knew this is what we had to use. I think the cabinet pulls were the first thing to get ordered after we purchased the tiny home itself. If it’s wrong to be so excited over new cabinet pulls… I don’t want to be right! You can find the exact pulls HERE.

Every inch of this place was utilized for storage… even under the stairs! Also... Sneak Peek of the flooring here! ;) 

We decided to go with the Levolor white plank plantation blinds to make the space feel larger when the blinds are open. These puppies are an investment… but we ordered these during the Black Friday sale after Thanksgiving and got a hefty discount. If you ever decide to update your blinds… make sure you do it when you can get a good deal!

Here's another Before/After to show you what we started with and where it’s at today…

AFTER

This space is very small, so the end result will probably only include a bed, a rug and possibly some wall décor.

Hope you enjoyed the Tiny Home Bedroom “Tour”! See you soon!

XOXO,

Christmas in NYC - Part 2

I am finally back with the last half of our NYC trip… 

That took long enough! 😉

On Thursday, we slept in AGAIN and woke up to a little bit of snow which was so fun because this Alabama girl doesn’t see much of that! Then we took an Uber to Lower Manhattan/Tribeca area and did a bunch of touristy things!

We hopped on the Staten Island Ferry to see the Statue of Liberty. If you are going to NYC anytime soon... I recommend this unless you are actually going to the site. It was a FREE 45 minute round trip ride! She was gorgeous but that was the coldest boat ride I have EVER been on! 

My husband put Chap Stick on his cheeks because ‘frostbite’! LOL

We stopped by the Raging Bull on the way to the 9/11 Memorial and Museum.

The 9/11 museum was one of my favorite parts of the trip. 

The time and effort put into this museum absolutely blows my mind. It was laid out so well, so touching and more information than you could take in within one visit. Once you get through security and down to the actual museum, it was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

The main exhibit did not allow cameras or photography, which is completely understood. If you ever find yourself in NYC with a few hours to burn... I highly recommend going here. 

After the 9/11 museum, we went to the top of the new World Trade Center at One World Observatory. The elevator is cool. The entrance is amazing. The views were breathtaking.

Then somehow we found ourselves in The Oculus, which was pretty neat!

 

Have I mentioned I love NYC?

After an hour and a half Uber ride back to Times Square… three restaurants turning us down because we didn’t have reservations… we finally found this pub. 

 

I’m not sure if it was because we were so stinkin’ hungry… but that food was amazing! Check out J's empty plate! The crowd comes out on Thursday for the weekend. We were not prepared for that many people!

After supper, we walked around Times Square, went to M&M World, and spotted the “18” on display for the New Year’s Eve Ball Drop.

Friday started off with Starbucks, a walk to Macy’s for some shopping... 

the Empire State Building...

and some lunch at a Food truck. Then we headed back to the room to rest and get ready for Friday night in the big city!

On our walk to Radio City Music Hall for the Christmas Spectacular, we spotted….

The Naked Cowboy (it was seriously like 24 degrees.)... 

the beautiful Christmas decorations.

Then…. It started SNOWING. I don’t mean a little bit… y’all. It was COMING DOWN! We walked back around to the Rockefeller Center and experienced the Rockefeller Tree in the snow. 

It was an absolutely magical moment that I will never forget.

Then it was SHOW TIME! This was a check off the bucket list for sure! I have always wanted to see the Rockettes in NYC!

When we got out of the show… snow was literally EVERYWHERE. It was so pretty and I am so glad it snowed while we were there. 

I felt like I was in a Hallmark movie!

We had dinner reservations at The Strip House for our last night/belated 2^nd Anniversary dinner. 

Oh. My. Yum. 
After this, we may or may not have stopped back by Juniors for more Strawberry Cheesecake in bed…

The next morning we flew back home! It was a quick, magical, bucket list trip and I am so thankful I got to share that with my hubby! If you’ve never been… you HAVE to go!

When we got home, I gave Gypsy her Statue of Liberty souvenir… 

I think she liked it more than the fact we were back home!

Until next time…

XOXO,
