Vintage Blue and a remodel

Hi Everyone

 Happy Thursday

♥

This little blue chippy shabby vintage basket 

was found at a fabulous store in

Coronado called 

The Attic

You have heard me mention this store before

 I have been making weekly trips to Coronado
to supervise updates for a beach house remodel

it has been fun to rediscover this fun little shop filled with
 so many adorable vintage treasures

It is rare to find these type of vintage baskets
completely in tact

the handle and the sides are all there and not one piece is broken
{Love}
  the size perfect for flower arrangements made with

freshly picked flowers from the garden

The original tin insert is a bonus
 and it actually holds water
so the flowers will have plenty to drink

{warning the next few pictures are ugly}

The beach house is in demo mode
or what we affectionately refer to as the
ugly
not so fun
before stage



The house is taking shape and looking open
 and filled with  much needed light
as you can see the kitchen was completely gutted
 new windows have just been installed
and the wall separating the dining room from the kitchen has been removed
there was a tiny door that led to the kitchen that made
the space look even smaller and very dark
 The new designed  kitchen will have a white bead-board ceiling
  the wolf range/stove will be on the left
 and the french farmhouse sink will be on the right
 just below the window
 to the left of the sink will be a subzero glass front refrigerator

The Subzero  refrigerator
 looks like this one

Adding windows to this bedroom has
 helped to make it feel bigger
The large original cabinets are staying and the new window
will now have a window seat
 that looks out to the pool
removing the vanity table and mirror and adding a window
helped add light to the room

Here is the front door can you see the ceiling
 it has been raised to bring in height and more light
The stairway to the upstairs bedroom
has been opened up
so you are not walking upstairs in what felt like a dark tunnel

Pretty view of Coronado yacht club from the new balcony upstairs
   just off the master bedroom
{sorry these pics are bad took them with my iPhone}

That's the remodel update for this week
check back often
 the kitchen cabinets and drywall get installed in a few days
as well as the bead board
So excited to have the opportunity to help design and transform this home
 and to share with you the transformation

Must Love Pink

Hi Everyone

 Happy Tuesday

♥

You all know I 

{Love} 

all things vintage and the color pink

the ad above for Kohler bathrooms is from 1958 

just look at the pretty pink sink and bathtub

 Here is that same bathtub today
 55 years later 

not only is there a pink bath tub in this house

 there are pink 4x4 tiles on the walls

 and  on the floor

There is a pink shower 

Check out the light

 inside the shower , notice the grab bars in stainless steel and white

 the gold gilded towel bars and soap holder inside the shower

And yes there is even

 a pink sink and vanity too 

The original plan was to try and save the vintage sink and tub in this home

but  plumbing problems meant the floor and all of the tile has to be removed

When this home was built in 1958

 this pink bathroom was the very height of  glamour and style

So excited to share with you just a glimpse of the before pictures of
this Coronado Beach house 

The entire home is being remodeled and

this pink bathroom is going to be redone

from floor to ceiling 

 you can come along to see the transformation as we go from this to something like this...
