Two Simple (But VERY PRETTY) Bathroom DIYs That Lea Johnson Executed In One Weekend

Hey friends, Lea here, it’s been a while (five months since I revealed my living room update in fact) and I don’t know about you, but this year is flying by. If you follow me on Instagram you may know I live in the Midwest, specifically Minnesota so we cherish our summers here because of the long winters. That said, I typically push all our interior projects to the back burner until winter. BUT I had recently had a partnership that clearly motivated me to work on a corner of our primary bathroom over a weekend. Gotta love a quick weekend DIY, right?

Here is what I was working with:

As you can see it is seriously lacking any real functionality and let’s be honest, it’s hardly aesthetically pleasing on the eye.

Our primary bathroom is small and this corner next to the shower is sort of dead space, to squeeze in any type of cabinet would cause it to be too claustrophobic and shelving would feel chaotic here. I had at times thought about a recessed niche, but this is an outside wall and again, Minnesota winter life is real.

I had the idea (similar to something I currently have in our laundry/mudroom) of adding peg rails to our bathroom to hang up some towels, so I started pinning away for ideas and inspiration.

I also knew we didn’t have the time or budget to do a full bathroom makeover. So… a quick weekend DIY was the perfect solution.

For the peg rail wall I envisioned, I just needed a few supplies:

Beadboard Trim Pre-made Peg Rail Liquid Nails Finishing Nails Nail Setter Clamps Wood Filler CaulkPaint – we used Snowbound by Sherwin Williams Painters TapeStep 1:

First, I measured and installed all the pre-made peg rails. Since these were pre-made the ends were rounded a bit so I made cuts to slice off the ends to make for a flush and smooth connection between them. I also had to remove a couple of pegs for the corner because of the 90-degree angle. I then filled in any screw holes and peg holes with wood filler.

Step 2:

After I installed the rails, I felt like this corner needed something extra so I decided to add beadboard paneling below it. The beadboard would be thin enough that we didn’t have to remove the existing baseboards and could install the sheets right above it. For this, I called my favorite brother-in-law over again to help me.

Hot Tip

He applied FrogTape to the cut line on the beadboard before cutting to make sure the beadboard didn’t splinter.

We attached it to the wall with some Liquid Nails and finishing nails. We don’t own a nail gun, so we manually nailed them, used a nail sinker tool to tap them in a bit, and then filled again with filler.

Step 3:

To cap it all off I added a small piece of inexpensive trim wood to the top of the peg rail as a little “shelf”. I just used Liquid Nails and clamps to attach it. My brother-in-law caulked all the seams where the beadboard meets the peg rail and the corners and edges.

Step 4:

The next day he came back to paint. I had already taped all the existing trim off and I taped the pegs too because I decided to keep those the natural wood color for a little contrast.

I choose to keep the paint the same color as what was already in the bathroom because I wasn’t ready to pick out a paint color. I’ll save that for the day we are actually ready for the full makeover. Also, I am debating adding some wallpaper in here. So again keeping the paint minimal was just easy to process for me.

Voilà! Finished!

Towel (similar) | Basket (similar)

Antique Bentwood Chair (similar) | Hanging Basket (similar) | Shower Curtain (similar)

Le Labo Candle | Gold Frame (similar) | Wood Frame (similar) | Figure Drawing (similar)

Easy enough right? But I wasn’t done with this bathroom just yet. For a little styling update, I decided to make a little window curtain (to be fully transparent we had been living with one of those temporary paper shades for the past 5 years) and it was time. I ordered the fabric off of Etsy and using a no-sew technique it took me about 20 minutes in all.

DIY Curtain

Here’s what you’ll need:

Tension Rod Curtain Rings Linen Fabric No-sew Iron TapeScissorsIron

I used this little tension rod and rings from Target and installed it in the window and then measured off the area to get the width of the fabric and length after the clip rings. I cut the fabric to measure leaving about another foot to allow for my “hems” and so when the curtain was closed it wouldn’t be flat on the window and there would be some folds.

Using no-sew iron tape I then created my hems for a more finished look. Installed my little curtain and easy peasy! I only purchased one pack of clip rings (7 rings) but I am going to pick up another pack because I feel I need 2-3 more rings to be just right. For reference, my window is 22” on the inside mount.

Head Vase | Side Table (similar)

That’s it! These are both easy DIY’s that anyone can do in a weekend (if I can do it, you can too).

Towel (similar) | Basket (similar)

Until next time!

xoxo Lea

The Link Up: Emily’s Inspirational Follow (Not Design Related…Curious?), The Rug Most Of Our Team Bought, And 50% Off A Very Good Lamp

It’s August…already??? Well, welcome to the first day of August, everyone. We’re here and we’ve made it. So let’s keep it simple and start it off right…here’s your link up for today!

This week’s home tour is a beautiful Fire Island home with lots of gorgeous wood elements and just-right natural light. The homeowners, Gabe Brotman and Thomas Gensemer turned this getaway cottage into their dream home, perfect for hosting friends and family. We love the warm wood that encompasses the entirety of the floors, walls, and ceiling & how they mixed it with bright, colorful queer-themed art. This home underwent a MAJOR renovation and truly came out on top. 10/10 recommend browsing through!

From Emily: An inspirational follow: I thought that Adam Grant was a household name until I realized that nobody I know knew of him except for those who listen to Armchair Expert. He’s an organizational psychologist who specializes in leadership and business, specifically for those wanting to attract and retain younger Millennial or Gen Z employees. I learn SO MUCH from him (Instagram and podcast) and he generally inspires me to be a better person/boss/planet dweller. It’s a work in progress, obviously, but I feel like I have an expert source to rely on that has very forward and fresh ideas. If you are in any sort of leadership role I think you’d benefit from his words (plus he’s funny and smart, and generally interesting to listen to).

Also from Emily: Sarah Sherman Samuel revealed her guest bath a while back and I’m just still so in love. It’s just full of risks and fun and TOTALLY SARAH. Between the marble around the sconce and the checkerboard pattern she really went for it and yet it totally works with the rest of her house (I’m obsessed with her basement kitchen).

From Albie: If you know me, you know I have two bedding non-negotiables — I love neutral & textured, and I am team duvet all day! Thank you Justina for this duvet that was clearly designed just for me. The black on off-white print is so simple yet so chic. Total boutique hotel or cozy Airbnb vibes! And as a duvet set… so I can wash and fold it with no hassles. Thank you, Justina!

From Jess: When I was visiting my hometown the other weekend, I clearly needed to go to the local antique mall (The Old Barn Antique Mall). To my delight my favorite candle scent was there in reed diffuser form! And it’s mini! It makes my bathroom smell so freaking good, looks really cute, and doesn’t add any extra heat to an already very hot summer. And no it wasn’t an antique but I did score some other awesome finds that I can’t wait to show you all:)

Also From Jess: The topic of this article written by designer, Leyden Lewis, is something I have been thinking about and unpacking over this past year as someone who helps run a design blog that wants to celebrate all kinds of styles. Now as someone who also loves design and writes about it for a living, I consider myself to have “good taste”. However, I know that concept is veeeeery rooted in the white European aesthetic and class systems. So with that knowledge, think it’s very important for all of us to continually check ourselves in how we define different designs and aesthetics as “good” or “bad” and this article really articulates why.

From Mallory: I’ve always wanted this lamp from Urban Outfitters but did I want it enough to spend $130 on it??? Not really. BUT I ended up finding the exact one for literally 50% cheaper at Ashley Home Store…it’s like $77 and then you can get an extra 10% off with the code FRIYAY10. Run don’t walk if you’ve been eyeing this lamp too!!!

If you’ve ever wished there was an extremely easy way to find black-owned businesses to shop from it’s here!! A site and app called Miiriya is your one-stop shop for finding awesome black-owned businesses and continually adding more. Let’s keep walking that talk and support.

From Caitlin: AHH. The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is finally open to the public and OH MY GOSH, the Theragun is on sale! If you’ve never tried one out, they absolutely live up to the hype. I’ve used the Pro before (it usually costs like $600) at workout classes here in LA (because like…of course studios here would have $600 muscle massagers available in the lobby for your post-class enjoyment) but the Prime included in this kit is just as good IMO – it’s what I’d personally recommend to folks looking to bring home a Theragun. Seeing the Prime packaged with the Wave (a lil 8-shaped cutie that I’ve always wanted to try!) and a pain relief stick makes me STOKED as it’s such a good deal

From Ryann: I want this olive green scallop rug SO badly because it has two things that I am deeply into right now: classic green and scalloped edges. The detail is so special and I just know it’d be REALLY cute in my kitchen but is it weird that I think something this pretty shouldn’t be stepped on all day every day? I know that’s what rugs are for but damn, the pattern is so cute I almost wish it was a placemat instead. By the way, am I a little nuts for feeling bad for rugs because they get the most dirty by people’s shoes and feet?? Don’t worry you can tell me the truth. (PS: CAITLIN JUST TOLD ME SHE ALREADY BOUGHT THIS RUG LAST WEEK SO IT’S DOUBLE EHD-APPROVED!)

So that’s what we’ve got this week, thanks everyone for tuning in and we’ll be sure to do this again next Sunday! And the Sunday after that, and the Sunday after that…just put it in your calendars as an ongoing event

What’s The Best Way To Travel Over 900 Miles With Two Dogs? Dog Owners, We Need Your Help

For my 35th birthday, Emily surprised me by showing up in a rented passenger van full of our best friends. She drove us all up the freeway to the amusement park Magic Mountain for a day of roller coasters and thrill rides. Now, if you know Emily, you know how much she hates driving, so hauling a big 12 passenger van up the I-5 during morning rush hour was pretty remarkable – 6 months pregnant. But even more remarkable were the t-shirts she had made for the occasion, which everyone wore the entire day – a screen printed silhouette of a picture of me at 17, naked behind an electric guitar, smirking carelessly into the distance.

It wasn’t until I stumbled off the first roller coaster that I realized how ironic the shirt actually was. That care-free 17-year-old on my chest would have yeeehawww’ed his way back into line for the next go-round, he would have scream-laughed through every death-defying, tummy-twirling ride until the park closed. 35-year-old me however, needed a long sit-down and a Dramamine suppository. Being bashed and sloshed and zipped around at high G-forces was something that my younger body loved, but now, middle-aged and out of shape, it felt like a torture chamber, like Magic Mountain was interrogating me in a black site about future terrorist plots I had no knowledge of. I wanted to barf and sob. I did my best to avoid going on any more rides that day, but was my b-day so I had to suck it up and enjoy the rest of the day with everyone. And with every ride I understood more and more the plight of kids who get stuck in tires as they roll down hills. It was my, like, least favorite feeling. Ever.

And I think that’s how my poor dog Oscar feels about any moving vehicle. So I’m writing for some help. Dog owners, where ya at?

We have to move our pups up to Portland in a couple of weeks and we’re stressing about which way is the best way to do it.

A little about the doggies – they’re one-and-a-half-year-old rescues who have some skittishness issues already, don’t trust many strangers, and are very co-dependent. Buttercup fares pretty well in a car, has never puked or whined, and she just lays down in the back or tries to come upfront with us. Oscar on the other hand, despises anything that moves, even anything in the vicinity of anything that moves. Like, he stops dead in his tracks when we get near the upper-upper steps of a dock, even when the boat is still fifty yards away. In a car, it’s like trying to wrangle a wild boar into a steam shower, and when you finally get him in, it’s like someone has opened a spigot of drool in the poor guy’s mouth, then he shivers and pukes the whole time the car is in motion. It’s so, so sad.

We basically only have two ways to get these fuzzballs up north with us – by car or on the plane. And I’d love to hear your advice. You’ve heard what happens in a car, I can only imagine what will happen on a plane. And we can’t register him as a support dog. At least as far as I can learn online.

I know that back in the old days, people used to fly with dogs packed under the plane no problem. This was back before every dog owner claimed them as “support animals” and were allowed to bring them on board the plane. But we have to take Alaska Airlines and they have really cracked down on what is permissible for a support animal and we definitely don’t have the official paperwork for that.

So. It’s either in a crate underneath the plane, which is about a two and a half hour flight (plus the hour-long drive to the airport, the hour-long check-in, and the half-hour drive from the airport home) or a three-day car trip, which would include two stops overnight on the way.

We’re visiting our vet on Friday to get some advice and anti-anxiety drugs, but I know there are a lot of dog people here on this site and figured I’d ask y’all if you had any experience with traveling with dogs and know the best/most humane way to do it.

Any advice is welcome, I really don’t want my poor little guy to feel like I did after getting off The Riddler’s Revenge. I want him to feel like he’s in high school about to shred a wicked solo on a knock-off Fender. Naked.

The Pros And Cons Of The Pot-Filler (+ Brian And My First Farm Renovation Fight)

Few things really rev people up like pot-fillers – I had no idea. Such was the subject of our first actual farm fight of the renovation. I thought it was a no-brainer that we don’t need one because I rarely used the one we used to have and we don’t have one here and I rarely wish we did. Brian, apparently, had a secret emotional, passionate connection to our former plumbing fixture – a daily connection unbeknownst to me in our LA home. Here’s how it went down: on the day of the post about the prep sink (last week) I was reading comments from you about pot-fillers (which came up because I mentioned that never really used ours) and was innocently wrapping up the design of the kitchen. Brian sauntered downstairs, to me announcing that “‘hey’ I’m was nixing pot filler from the design because we never really used ours and it’s an indicator of a luxury new build”. Ladies, my #1 warning is to wait till coffee kicks in before talking renovation with your partner. He was caught off guard and vehemently disagreed with me insisting that he used it ALL THE TIME in our old house and misses it every. single. day. We were not on the same page and it seemed worthy of a discussion here: Pot-fillers – ostentatious luxury or daily utility of convenience? Let’s spout off:

I’ve had a winding relationship with pot-fillers myself and my opinion on them has flip-flopped a few times over the years. When I first heard about them I thought they were pretty, but kinda silly, as if the added real estate from the sink to the stove warranted additional plumbing. Seemed to me like a rich person’s kitchen feature. But that was when I was 28. Before I cooked, before I had kids, and certainly before I could afford to renovate a kitchen with such luxuries or even know what elements should go into a well-designed kitchen renovation.

Cut to 2016 when we were planning out my first kitchen renovation in the LA house and I wanted a pot-filler – maybe I was ready for more adult kitchen elements, thinking that IF you are renovating you obviously should make choices that align with what a “nice” kitchen should have. I think at this point Brian could take it or leave it because we had never had one. But you don’t want to miss an opportunity when renovating, right? Over those 3 years living there I rarely used it, so it was mostly for jewelry – for looks and admittedly I do LOVE the way it looks. Brian had a different experience. Looking back I realized that those years were when Brian actually cooked the most, and we made a lot of mac and cheese, pasta, and rice for the kids. So he is very attached to this bit of plumbing because he came to really use and rely on it, and I get that. So let’s explore the pros and cons from my point of view, on the inflammatory pot-filler.

Pros Of Having A Pot-Filler:

photo by tessa neustadt | from: our modern english country kitchen

If you have a big kitchen having a pot filler can be a convenience, for sure. We are not big pasta and rice people (besides kids stuff) but filling up huge stock pots for broth would be helpful, and surely for boiling potatoes or corn on the cob, which can get heavy. So if you are you big stove pot people it’s nice to have and you can just fill up your pot while on the stove instead of carrying it full from sink to stove. I think we all can agree that this is a bit silly/unnecessary (a comment that Brian did NOT respond well to) but it absolutely depends on your kitchen size and your lifestyle (and your arm strength haha).

They are very, very pretty – if you are into plumbing fixtures, which most designers are – then it’s another pretty feature in your kitchen. They are a piece of jewelry that can break up a wall of tile, stone, or drywall (if you are into that), bring some metallic shine over your range, and tie in with your sink faucet finish. Strictly as a design element – they are a nice touch.

Their shape can add an architectural and sculptural element. Speaking simply design here, they articulate out (which we love) and when they recess back they look cool and have a weird shape that contrasts nicely with the straightness of cabinetry and stoves.

They can make a kitchen look more custom, high-end, and luxurious. The question you have to ask yourself is if that is what you really want anyway (this is my issue). Like jewelry, I think that they add elegance. From my perspective “elegance” has not been an adjective that we have used to describe our future farm kitchen – it’s more “charming, utilitarian, warm, soul-full, sweet, practical”. No glamour or elegance needed, so I felt that maybe no pot-filler was needed.

The high spout allows for other “around the houses” uses, especially if your sink faucet isn’t a gooseneck or bridge (high). Think about filling flower buckets and vases, mop buckets, and watering cans for plants. Right now I tend to go to the hall bath or our bathtub to fill up big watering cans so, yes, that could be very useful. People who drink a lot of tea with tea kettles love the convenience, too.

Pot fillers are good for resale (there are literally no facts to back this up, it’s just my hypothesis just like anything that seems like a luxury is good for resale). It is something that people see as a luxury that might shift their emotions towards a kitchen when looking to buy. I’m not saying that it should, but I think it does.

The “Cons” Of The Pot-Filler:

photo by sara ligorria-tramp | from: the reveal of the mountain house kitchen

It adds to your budget, but not as much as I thought. When you are gutting a kitchen and moving a lot of plumbing it can feel like adding a pot filler is nominal, but it is still likely a couple of hundred dollars in labor before the fixture itself. It’s only a cold water line which can be small. It really depends on how far away it is from a water source for how expensive it is. if you are just updating and not gutting, it’s harder to add (unless you have access through the back wall or if you do a countertop pot filler if you are changing out cabinetry). But if you are doing a full gut remodel then it’s much easier. Now the fixture itself can vary from $200 – $2K so that’s where you’ll spend the bulk of it.

***I’d like to point out that you still have to haul the pot OFF of the stove back to the sink to drain, so put your burly friend’s number on speed dial.

design by rashida banks | photo by keyanna bowen | from: rashida’s totally transformed kitchen reveal (that includes one of our favorite “new classic” kitchen trends)

They aren’t “necessary”, technically. Unlike the sink faucet, a pot-filler is a “good to have” and I think it’s important to question all of your “good to haves” in your home to make sure that you are putting in something you USE, not just something you like. Ahem. Hello, pot? Kettle calling. I know I have a lot of chairs that I LOVE that people don’t necessarily sit in, but going forward this is not the goal. Designers are certainly guilty of this crime, which in my past I didn’t think was a big deal but with the planet screaming at us to stop consuming I currently really think we should lean away from things that are solely pretty, without function. If you use it? Great. If you don’t think you will, rethink it.

They are a sign of luxury and newer construction. This is both a pro and a con depending on what you are going for, but for our house this was is the best “con” against a pot-filler for me and one that I attached my argument to quickly. They are a newer invention and therefore do signal a “new build”. They may send a message of “new and fancy” which may or may not be the message you want to send. It’s not the message I want to send so for me it was an easy “nix”.

photo by zeke ruelas | from: modern deco kitchen reveal

In short – pot-fillers are for convenience and beauty, but that’s about it. So now you have to weigh your affection towards both of those attributes and how high they are on your priority list. For Brian it’s one of the few things he has put his foot down on (thus the fight) because he uses it a lot, and who am I to deprive him of his relationship towards this plumbing fixture. I personally love how some of them look (not all of them) and when done right don’t necessarily look like new construction. Much like a beverage or freezer drawer they indicate new remodel, but not necessarily “luxury”. DeVOL designs their kitchens for utility first and they always put in a po-filler.

We ended the fight with me saying “just because we like something doesn’t mean we should have it if we don’t USE it frequently”, and Brian responding that he promises that he’ll use it, every. single. day. Deal.

If you think they are silly, dumb, and pretentious, simply don’t put one in. For me it’s like having both trail running shoes and HIIT workout shoes – it really depends on how often you do the two different activities to warrant two different pairs of shoes designed for slightly different utility. Having the daily convenience can bring joy and ease to people’s busy lives – and there should not be any judgment on that. If you are super into design and cook a ton it might be an element you want, but if you aren’t then it might be simply unnecessary. Ultimately, in the scheme of things, like most design elements it’s nothing really to argue about and we felt SO dumb for letting it ruin our morning. Brian won this one pretty quickly because he is so rarely passionate about a design/functional element and as his partner, I wanted to respect his perspective and desires in this renovation process. And listen, I like a pot-filler too so this wasn’t a big concession.

While convenience + beauty = perceived luxury, it actually doesn’t have to be a very expensive one. Plus if you get daily use out of a beautiful convenience, then no, it is not a consumptive waste. So Brian and I came up with an obvious rule for our big purchases – that “liking” and “wanting” a ‘”luxury” isn’t good enough (and it shouldn’t ever have been a good enough reason for us), you have to really use it often and appreciate its use and function to include it in our home – whether it’s a splurge or not. I feel like, despite the national pot-filler divide, THAT is something that we can all agree on.

P.S. I was going to do a roundup of them but generally, you should try to match the style and finish of your sink faucet (IMHO).

The Wicker Trend Is Stronger Than Ever + The Exciting Ways We Are Seeing It Played With Right Now

Just when we thought wicker has been overdone, it proves to be a versatile and ever-evolving design feature that we can’t get enough of. Over the past few years, we have seen wicker lighting and furniture thrive amongst a myriad of styles and now we are certain this design element is not going anywhere. If anything, people are getting more creative and bold with wicker accents, making it an exciting decor choice that transcends coastal and farmhouse styles we typically think of. Once again, wicker is taking on a new form and becoming more modern and cool by the minute. But before I show you just how hip it is, let me let you in on some trivia: despite popular belief, wicker is not a type of material but rather, it describes the technique in which it the material is woven. In fact, wicker is often made of rattan material but not all rattan is woven wicker. It’s a lot to take in, I know. Stay tuned for a post on just that (only half kidding…).

Now, you might be wondering what’s so interesting about wicker now? Well, besides the fact that it adds texture, warmth, and natural elements to a space effortlessly, it’s popping up in more unexpected ways than ever. Hint: Animal sculptures are involved and there IS such thing as wicker motorcycle sculptures and that is just scratching the surface. Allow me to demonstrate the new and exciting wicker decor trends of 2021:

Animals And Sculptures

These wicker animal heads by Madrid artist Javier S. Medina are just the weird flair we’ve been hoping for and the fact that they are handmade by Medina (who calls himself a self-taught basketmaker) makes them a spectacular conversation piece. He calls them Eco Animal Trophies and they are in fact, the cruelty-free, vegan-friendly substitute for animal head trophies. Oh, and they are DOPE. Clearly.

Here Benjamin Reynaert styles the buffalo head by mounting it over this bed frame, making it a focal point of the room. Note that the wicker detail provides this otherwise colorful, bold, maximalist room with an organic texture but doesn’t take away from the modern bold style. It’s neutral in color but odd enough that it blends effortlessly in this anything but boring bedroom.

A wicker animal head can also add a sculptural element to a gallery wall. Again, the wicker juxtaposes the colorful, maximalist space making it more dynamic. If you are worried about getting too funky with animal decor, just know that it has its place in minimal neutral homes too. For example…

Anything that is part sculpture part furniture earns a hell yes from us. The Nalgona Chair by Chris Wolston proves that a woven jaw-dropping conversation piece is never a bad idea, and Arent & Pyke expertly use this piece to add some character to this modern coastal Sydney home. The chair is weird and sculptural enough to make a statement but it still compliments the neutral color palette and airy open feel of the space.

This chair was also virtually used in the iconic home by Tavia Forbes and Monet Masters of FORBES+MASTERS and if you haven’t seen it yet, RUN DON’T WALK. They call the space they created “For Children Over The Age of 30” and I just love it so much.

Obviously, we all need a long-necked wicker hat stand? No, not really but if you are looking for a free-standing object that could add height and a bit of weirdness to a shelf, you have my blessing with this one. Even styled alone as just a fun sculptural piece it would turn heads (no pun intended).

See? I told you wicker motorcycle sculptures are happening, and if that’s the case, why not add in some wicker motorcycle boots too? At this point, I’ll take any wicker sculpture any day of the week. They are just too fun!

Walls & Permanent Fixtures

A wicker accent wall by Atelier Vime is something I had no idea I needed in my life. Just think of the possibilities now that you know a wicker wall is possible?? It can create visual depth to a space that lacks architectural interest, add warmth to a dark space, and bring in a ton of character to a dull room. Atelier Vime makes these wicker panels custom, but a cost-effective and renter-friendly way to replicate the same vibe would be to use a wicker room divider or wicker mural. Yep, if you didn’t know I am going all-in with wicker. Give me all the woven textures!!

In this bathroom, wicker makes another unexpected entrance as a tub covering paired with a matching valance by none other than Atelier Vime. We actually predicted wicker tub exteriors would be a trend in 2021 and I am happy to see it is coming to fruition. But let’s dissect why the wicker element here feels fresh and new 1. Since the tub is not freestanding, the rectangular built-in shape could come across as too boxy, so the woven detail adds movement and 2. The wicker valance complements the tub and helps to bring the eye up so your eye also catches the wood beam ceilings which is a key architectural element of the space.

One thing I have noticed about wicker decor is that nothing compliments it more than–you guessed it–more wicker. Mixing wicker with wicker or any of its close relatives (rattan, cane, bamboo) is an easy way to add even more warmth and natural textures to a room. The above bathroom also proves that wicker and wood are a match made in rustic heaven. Who needs color when you can have varying shades of brown and tan combined with varying weaves and textures? It may sound boring but clearly it is anything but.

Pedestals And Oversized Planters

design by atelier vime | photo by joanna maclennan

Once again, if anything can make the case for wicker everything, it’s Atelier Vime. They do wicker and rattan like nobody else, as is made evident by the wicker pedestal and matching oversized vase combination. The pair creates height and movement not to mention it adds a roman architecture esthetic that we just don’t see enough of nowadays.

Sans the pedestal, the oversized urn-shaped planter is the perfect accent for any entry table or console. It is still oversized and dramatic and if you can style it with a plethora of wild foliage and branches, well, you are the plant goddess I aim to be.

Wicker planters are not revolutionary, but I have been seeing a surge in large basket planters paired with thin trees and branches. I love the one in the above home tour that has a wavy movement to it, making it appear like a soft and flexible woven bag. It leans into the organic and nature-centered style effortlessly and the thin branches only emphasize the oversized look and feel.

Extremely Oversized Pendants In Modern Or Traditional Spaces

Imagine if this pendant wasn’t wicker, but a solid color or metal? It just wouldn’t have the same effect. The weave brings in texture to this otherwise bare staircase, and the size makes it a statement so it can stand alone. In fact, when you are trying to decipher how neutral homes can be minimal but not at all boring, take note of the textures present. Chances are you’ll find wicker, rattan, and knobby woods which bring so much dynamic to a space while maintaining the soft, neutral color palette.

A Captain’s Cottage is a classic canvas for wicker decor, and this moody room proves that wicker can thrive outside light and airy spaces. This wicker pendant complements the dark blues and deep maroon accents and the fact it is oversized brings in an even more dramatic element to the space.

It should come as no surprise that Beata Heuman executes the oversized wicker pendant flawlessly, and shows how they can work with a range of styles and color palettes. On the left, the scalloped wicker pendant complements the traditional farmhouse style and brings in much-needed warmth to the crisp white walls. The kitchen on the right however has a bright modern farmhouse feel making the low hanging oversized pendant appear playful and whimsical.

Multiple Pendants In A Row (The More The Merrier)

We are used to seeing long narrow hallways being an avenue for design risks (think wallpaper ceilings, bold paint colors, floor to ceiling gallery walls, etc, etc) so a string of pendant lights is a pretty genius design risk to add to the mix. Besides being functional and adding light to a dim corridor, the different shapes and weaves of the wicker pendants make them feel collected and intentional, adding a lot of personality to the space.

With this room above that has a sitting area and dining area in one, the layout calls for something to break up the room. Over the long farmhouse table, the pair of wicker pendants creates the illusion of two separate zones, and the wicker texture pulls together the minimal coastal style of the whole space.

If you can’t get enough of wicker lighting, show it off by hanging multiple over a long wooden table like the above. It’s so impactful when used in a neutral space so you can keep everything else soft, minimal, and effortless.

The only thing more interesting than the vaulted ceilings here is the not one, not two, not three, but SIX wicker pendants hanging above and around the kitchen island. That design choice alone is cool, but the wicker texture is also important because it makes it so the pendants are not weighing down the whole space and instead, they reflect a light and airy feel. Note that are a lot of fixtures and hanging pieces but the room itself is not overwhelming or chaotic.

Wicker Wrapped Objects

If you simply want to dip your toes in wicker and sprinkle in some fisherman meets Italian Riveria flair, look no further than a wicker-wrapped bottle or object. This not-so-new decor piece is making a comeback and it’s not hard to understand why. There is something very old-world Europe about it and it’s a gloriously simple way to liven up your shelves.

Display A Collection Of Baskets

Are you over the traditional gallery wall? No problem. Displaying a collection of baskets in varying sizes and colors is a simple and inexpensive way to bring character to a room. The seemingly arbitrary way they are hung up on this wall just adds to the casual and effortless feel of the space, and if you do in fact collect wicker baskets, what better way to display them?

Lampshades…Obviously

Did you think I would leave you without mentioning wicker lampshades? Well, ye have little faith because I could never. The wicker lampshade trend is not new but it is still going VERY strong (bonus points if it is wicker and scalloped). In fact, I hope it never ever goes away because I may have a few wicker lampshades that will appear in my MOTO (makeover takeover) that is coming to you soon.

1. Vintage 1970s Wicker Rattan Scalloped Ceiling Shade Lamp | 2. Rattan Table Lamp | 3. Maison Maison Small Scalloped Lampshade in Seagrass | 4. Maison Maison Medium Scalloped Lampshade in Water Hyacinth | 5. Rattan Wicker Natural Lampshade – Lampshade | 6. Ballhead & Corky Rattan Lampshade

Okay, now that I have managed to write the word wicker over 50 times I want to hand it over to you. Do you have any questions? Comments? Concerns? Drop them all below and have yourself a happy Thursday. xx

Can Anyone Vault Their Ceilings And What Does That Cost?? (Plus See Carli Alves’ Dark Living Room Get A BRIGHT Makeover)

After coming off the heels of an 1878 Victorian renovation, my family and I decided to sell our home and embark on a new project: A 1945 Colonial fixer-upper during the height of the pandemic. With real estate prices soaring, we were lucky enough to win our bid and began transforming our new house into a home we love.

When we first stepped foot in this home, we fell in love with all the natural light that poured into the kitchen and the east-facing side of the house, however, the other side of the house was a different story, it was dark, dingy, and quite honestly, depressing.

The room which I believed once served as a living room, was now an oversized dining room with one south-facing window, and then right off of that room, was a sunken living room addition with a dated, broken slider that led to an old metal screened porch that was surrounded by nature trees, which basically equaled MORE DARKNESS. Oh, and did I mention that the popcorn ceilings in the living room space were less than 8 feet tall?

I knew right from the get-go that if we were to buy this home we would need to make some serious changes to this space, and the first thing that came to mind was… raise the roof! Well, not literally, but I knew this space would definitely benefit from vaulted ceilings and skylights. I knew that vaulting the ceiling and adding skylights would not only provide some much-needed headroom, but it would also make the space feel much lighter, brighter and so much more welcoming.

“How did you know you could vault the ceiling?” You may be wondering. Well, luckily for me, my husband is in the construction trade and had an engineer friend come check out our ceiling and roof structure. Our ceiling was basically a drywall drop ceiling with insulation; it had no ductwork and no electrical, which made our ceiling an easier candidate to be vaulted.

A few things to consider when thinking about vaulting a ceiling:

Vaulting a ceiling is not a DIY project, you should consult a structural engineer so they can determine what kind of ceiling structure you have, and let you know whether or not your ceiling is a good candidate to be vaulted. Depending on your current ceiling structure, it’s possible that your ceiling may need some reinforcement in order to be vaulted. The cost to vault a ceiling can range anywhere between $10,000 to $25,000 depending on if electrical and/or HVAC needs to be moved, or if additional support is needed for the roof’s structure.

Skylight installation: Ceilings do not need to be vaulted in order to have a skylight or Sun Tunnel installed. Skylight installation costs vary by geographic location, ceiling type (vaulted or flat with flat being slightly more labor-intensive, which adds to the cost), and roof pitch (steeper roofs tend to cost more because the installer moves a little slower for safety reasons).
Contact your local building department and research local building codes to see if a building permit is required. Building permits typically cost about $50.
Chances are you will need a building permit prior to the work beginning, which may require a rough inspection from your local building department first.
Request an inspection after the work is complete (before the ceiling is finished).

5. Prior to insulating and closing your vaulted ceiling, you should make sure that your roof is vented, (ours wasn’t) so we needed to have ridge and soffit vents cut for proper airflow and insulation. This cost ranges between $1,000-$2,500 including insulation.

Once we did our due diligence, two months later we had a VELUX installer in our home installing not one, but two VELUX No Leak Solar Powered Fresh Air Skylights. It was literally a dream come true!

And here we are today! The transformation is UNREAL! These skylights are so amazing and truly changed the whole feel of this room. We went from a dark and cave-like space, to a light, bright and airy room that we actually want to spend time in.

Not only does the addition of the skylights allow natural light to flood our living room, but they also allow fresh air to flow into our home.

As you can see, the skylights weren’t the only updates we made to this space.

Paint

Once the skylights were installed, it was time to think about how I wanted the space to feel, although, at this point, I had already checked off a few of my light, bright, and airy requirements. To stick with this theme, I painted the walls Basalt Powder by Sherwin Williams, it’s a light greige color which helped to freshen up the old paneled walls.

Ceilings

Once the skylight installation was complete, we were torn about planking the ceiling or just having them drywalled. Ultimately, we chose drywall considering we hadn’t planned on removing the wall paneling during this phase of the renovation, and we didn’t want to have too many paneling styles going on in one space.

Wall Trays

Floors and Door

Luckily the oak floors were still in good shape, so we cleaned them up and decided that floor refinishing might happen down the line. But the sliding door, on the other hand, needed to be replaced. I think the second-best decision we made in this space was replacing the slider with french doors. They make the room feel updated and special. We’ve also since removed the metal screened porch, which makes us feel so much closer to nature and allows us to take in the beauty of our wooded lot.

Furniture and Decor

The other huge challenge in this room that I’ve yet to mention is that it’s long and narrow. At approximately 12 feet wide by 24 feet long, with a centered door on one side and a set of stairs on the other, it made the furniture layout a bit of a challenge. We removed the old built-ins and replaced them with wall-to-wall Ikea Havsta cabinets to serve as a media console and toy/game storage.

Since I won with the vaulted ceiling and skylights (who am I kidding? We all won!) I let my hubs get the big 70” TV. We mounted it and flanked it with Ikea Mosslanda ledge shelves cut down to fit and painted to match the wall so that focus would be less on the shelves themselves, and more on what’s displayed on the shelves. Speaking of which, while there isn’t a ton of room to display large items on the ledge shelves, I had fun styling some of my collected treasures, vintage prints, a few vintage brass candle holders, some modern sculptural pieces, and some books. There’s no doubt in my mind that the styling of these shelves will change quite often, but I love that it serves as sort of a play on having built-in shelves flanking the tv.

Another solution I have planned for the layout issue is to find a pair of swivel chairs to be placed in front of the cabinet. That way they could be used facing the sofa for conversational situations or turned towards the tv for gaming or movie watching.

For other seating in the room, I kept with the family-friendly theme, by choosing the Arlen slipcovered sofa from LuLu & Georgia. Some may think choosing a light-colored sofa with kids is a little daring, but I’m comforted knowing that I can remove the slipcover to be washed when needed. I love this sofa’s clean lines, and how cozy and relaxed it feels. We decided to keep the placement of the sofa off the wall to make the space feel more intimate. Which then led me to think about decorating the area behind the sofa.

Faux Leather Lumbar Pillow | Green Stripe Pillow

Decorating behind a sofa can be a real struggle. But there were a few go-to options that popped in my mind, and my thought process went a little like this:

Large mirror, NOPE- there’s a large mirror on the same wall in the next room (which is open to this room)Shelves, NOPE-then they’d have to compete with the ledge shelves on the opposite wall, too busyGallery wall, NOPE, I just wasn’t feeling it

So, I ultimately settled on a DIY sofa table and a very large, textured DIY art piece with a framed and matted print layered in front. I flanked the art with a small grouping of brass candle holders and a good size planter with a rubber plant. I balanced the sofa table vignette with my Fiddle Leaf Fig, Stella (who, by the way, is holding on for dear life, in fact, all of my plant babies have been peeved with me since the move.)

Under the sofa table, I placed some jute poufs, for extra seating when necessary, or to be used as a footrest for when we’re feeling really loungy.

To the right of the sofa table, there’s a small built-in shelf. I updated it by painting it to match the walls and then replaced the shelves with thicker, stained wood boards, for some warmth, texture, and interest. I styled them with some framed vintage sketches, my grandmother’s 20+-year-old pothos, books, and a few of my favorite brass animal figurines. And on the bottom shelf, I placed 2 medium-sized baskets: one to hide the internet modem and another to hold excess throw blankets.

Coffee Table | Floor Lamp

For the coffee table, I generally keep my styling pretty simple: I use a tray, a small plant in a pretty planter, a candle, coasters, and books, which are great for everyday use. But when I want to be fancy, I may swap out the plant with a large vase with foraged stems.

Our coffee table is the Gweneth Oval coffee table from Lu l u & Georgia. I love its sleek modern shape and black ash finish which coordinates perfectly with our dining room chairs in the adjacent room.

While it may not be conventional to have a dining table in front of a fireplace, we were so happy to be able to utilize the dining table we had already owned in this space. We added these beautiful Lawnie Dining Chairs from LuLu & Georgia to tie in with the other black accents in the room—we love how fresh and modern it looks and feels

Dining Chairs | Light Fixture | Dining Table | Blanket Ladder | Curtains

The dining room accent wall was actually courtesy of my husband. Although I actually wasn’t on board at first, the dark, moody gray grew on me, as it gives the room depth and makes it appear larger and much more interesting.

While I still find myself tweaking things every now and then (I mean, is a space ever truly complete?), the transformation of this room turned out to be everything we envisioned and more! What used to be a dark dungeon-like room, is now a bright and welcoming space where we enjoy spending quality time together as a family.

Cassandra LaValle’s Basement Kitchen Reveal!! + A Case For That One Original Design Element You Hate Becoming Your Favorite

Hey everyone! I’m Cassandra LaValle, founder of Coco Kelley – a lifestyle blog and housewares shop, and I’m an Interior & Prop Stylist in Seattle. I’ve had my blog since 2007 which makes me old school around these parts. It also means that I’ve actually known Emily since we were both starting out in this industry! It’s been nothing short of amazing to watch her grow this community, and I couldn’t be more thrilled to be here today to share the reveal of my most recent home project – a total renovation of our basement kitchen into what I’ve dubbed our Garden Suite and Cellar Kitchen. Sounds fancy huh? Well, it didn’t start out that way.

When I first moved into the house owned by my then-boyfriend, now-husband, I had mixed emotions about the whole thing. I had never owned a home, and as a decorator, I was so excited to be able to put my touch on everything. I was also, however, slightly disappointed that I wouldn’t be going through the process of actually choosing my first home. (Now, with the real estate market being what it is I couldn’t be more grateful to be spared that adventure!)

One of the things that I despised the most about the house was the basement. Not just the fact that it was an old, musty-smelling, poorly remodeled basement, but the fact that it had cold, saltillo tile covering every surface (not just the floors, but the window sills and stairs!) was baffling. A 1920s brick craftsman home in Seattle, with saltillo tile floors? This made NO sense in my design brain.

So when we finally decided to tackle the basement renovation in the fall of 2020, I was ecstatic. I was finally pulling out those tiles. And then… I started designing. And budgeting. And realized that maybe… just maybe… they weren’t so bad after all?

I debated. Yes, terracotta floors are having a moment, but would I like them in another year or two? On the other hand, not tearing them out would save us so much money. What if we painted them? Finally, after several Instagram polls and walking a few design friends through the space, I made a decision. The floors would stay.

It’s amazing what can happen when you embrace a design element that you may have seen as a challenge or eyesore and work with it instead of against it. In this case? It became one of my very favorite parts of our entire basement kitchen remodel.

Once I knew what I’d be working with, I decided that the entire basement would have a Mediterranean vibe. I’m Italian by heritage and I began to imagine the space as an homage to my grandparent’s basement. A true cellar kitchen!

Before I start designing, I always think about the function of the space. Seeing as this was a secondary kitchen, it was almost more important to consider its use. Connected to our backyard, its ultimate purpose would be as a garden kitchen. A place we could easily duck in and out of while planting, harvesting and processing flowers and veggies from our garden. It would also serve as a guest suite when friends and family came to visit, and – ultimately – a space that we could rent as an apartment down the road. I wanted it to feel welcome and charming, like a true vacation for guests, while keeping things classic enough that we could rent it out in the future. It may sound like a tall order, but really, all of these elements felt cohesive and easy to me because they are already such a part of who I am and how I design.

Now, let’s break these design decisions and materials down, shall we??

First off, the cabinetry. To keep things budget-friendly, even though we gutted the entire room, the layout stayed exactly the same. I love having the sink right below the window, and by opting for floating shelves along that wall instead of cabinetry, the space immediately felt lighter and larger. Plus, they provide a fun place for me to style – always a bonus.

Wooden Accordion Reg Rail | Strawberry Terracotta Pot (similar) | Dutch Door (custom) | Brass Door Handle | Brass Dead Bolt

Rather than continue the cabinets on the opposite wall from the sink, I opted to use a storage piece I already had, and I love the way the oak brings an additional material into the space. A vintage bench and some storage for garden hats complete that little ‘entry’ moment.

Brass Mister (similar) | Cabinets | Pulls | Sconce

I worked with Master Brand Cabinets Diamond line, choosing the Liberty style. The beadboard ties so well with the age of the house and brings the European look I was going for. Choosing the paint color was hugely important because – as some of you may know from experience – when you have a floor (or wall) with such a strong tone (terra cotta) it will reflect in the colors around it. One surefire way to tone this down is to choose the color opposite on the color wheel. So in this case red/green. That’s how I landed on the ‘Limestone’ option for our finish. It has a subtle green undertone that I knew would balance the terra cotta floors perfectly!

Refridgerator | Stove | Hood

Opting for smaller appliances appropriate to the scale of the room also helped immensely in opening up the space, as does the white finish! When considering stainless steel, my concern was that it would feel like a wall of gray with the cabinetry, and nobody in Seattle needs more gray – especially in a dark basement! The white finish with the brass handles is perfection and I was even happier with that choice when I saw it all come together. As a total stroke of design luck, the white also brought in that freshness I needed to create a more Mediterranean vibe, which I hadn’t even considered.

Woven Sconce | Faucet | Blue Lamp

Kitchen Towel (unavailable)

Speaking of brass – one of the details I had the most fun with was mixing my metal finishes, which is something I’ve not done much of elsewhere in the house. On the main floor we have a lot of brass (you can see the main kitchen here for reference!), so I continued that finish downstairs in the lighting fixtures, selecting a polished nickel finish for hardware and plumbing fixtures. I’ve always found this is a great way to figure out how to mix your metals, by assigning finishes to categories for consistency. The gorgeous faucet and classic pulls from Rejuvenation blend nicely with the cabinet color which was intentional as I wanted them to be more subtle, less statement. I’m secretly hoping they’ll patina a bit too! We also used Rejuvenation for the custom dutch door hardware, and it’s such an elevated moment.

Countertops | Dutch Door Latch

As for surfaces, I had seen Caesarstone Cloudburst Concrete countertops at a friend’s home about a year prior to our renovation and instantly fell in love with the finish. So much so that I didn’t even consider other options, which is very unlike me! I love how visually soft it is in the space, while offering the durability of quartz.

Backsplash Tile

For tile, I opted for a fun accent color in the backsplash behind the range, choosing not to wrap it around into the walls for two reasons. 1) It feels a bit more old-world to have tile just over the stove and 2) I love color but not that much color. We used Fireclay Tile in their brick style, which has a nice organic feel to it. I chose San Gabriel, which I happen to think might be the most perfect blue/green tile ever.

Wall Color

Last but not least – the question everyone always asks – what color are the walls!? After many swatches (why is white SO hard?) we landed on “Marshmallow” by Sherwin-Williams for every room in the basement. It’s a super lovely soft white with a warmer undertone. I learned very quickly that in a basement there’s almost no such thing as too bright a white, but you definitely don’t want it to feel cold. This one strikes the perfect balance for me. I almost painted a green trim around the window and doors to match the backsplash, but panicked at the last minute (gah! color!) and decided to go with ‘Extra White’ which is a pretty standard trim color.

One place I did insert a lot more color was in all the accessories! It’s definitely my style to choose neutrals for the large items in a room, and top everything off with items that I can easily switch out if I get tired of the palette. It was important to me to use a lot of vintage elements in styling the open shelving as a way to bring some old-world style into the space. I pulled most of the pieces from my own shop, and it’s been fun to rotate through items and restyle the shelves as I find new treasures, since I’m always hunting! There are a few items, however, that are more permanent, like that perfect art piece. We also stock the shelves with more practical glassware and coffee mugs when visitors come. I guess that’s the perk of open shelving – it’s easy to switch up!

Overall, this space has become as beautiful as it is functional for us in so many ways!! Our guests and families have been loving it too. And – yes – I’m still SO glad that we kept the tile floors. They’re easy to clean (while hiding dirt trekked in from the garden!), they lend a lot of character to the space, and – as we most recently discovered – they keep the basement very cool during the craziest of heatwaves!

And there you have it!! Every major decision made about this renovation in the most condensed format I could possibly muster. If you’re interested in more info on any of these topics specifically, you can find all of my more in-depth design posts on my blog, and I’ll happily answer questions in the comments too! Thanks Emily & Team for having me share this joyful space with you!!
