246 Thirteen82 Chronicles: Update & Color Scheme Vote

Well, the voting has ended and the majority has decided that light fixture number one is the chosen one!

Yes, the others "look" like outdoor lights because they are in fact, outdoor lights.  The point is to give Emily's space a lake house feel without getting too "themey".  Here are a couple examples of where outdoor lights have worked lovely inside:

{1 / 2 / 3}

But, winner winner, you selected this Pottery Barn light fixture!

Wait, what?  $180 for two?  That is over half of the entire bed and bath budget!

The intention was to find inspiration.  Now, it's our turn to knock it off on our budget.  And I have a plan for that, you will just have to stay tuned!

If you follow along on Facebook, you may have seen that Emily and I did some thrifting last week for the project.

We scored a $5 headboard from the Habitat for Humanity ReStore:

OK, so it's an old old door.  But it's going to be a rockin' headboard, just you wait!

A soap pump for $4!

And a cute bucket to place on the counter and fill with toiletries or wash clothes, for $2:

But now it's time to start painting!  Painting the walls, the headboard, the bucket....  So we need a color plan!

Thanks to my friend, Pinterest, I have stumbled across two websites that help with coming up with great color combinations and inspiration. Design Seeds and Photo Card Boutique.  They take a basic photo, and snag the beautiful colors to give you a fantastic color scheme.

Here are a couple we have our eyes on for this guest bathroom/bedroom makeover.  Which would you pick?

All are a bit similar, but so different!

This is where you come in!  Leave a comment on this post with which number you would love to see in her new space!

Voting goes from now through this Sunday, 3/11.

We will be sure to share before and after pictures, project updates, cost breakdowns and sources as we begin working on the two rooms, so stay tuned!
