Before and After: Luna’s Room

April 21st, 2010

When I first moved into our apartment, my boyfriend and I each had our own bathroom. Now I share mine with Luna. Pretty perfume bottles have been replaced with leftover cat food crumbs and the smell of jasmine candles is overpowered by kitty litter. To say that I had given up on the idea of having a cute bathroom is a major understatement.

{Before}

 

{After}

 

I finally decided that a few small changes would make a big impact. My first preference for the room was wallpaper, but since that’s a rather permanent fix for a temporary residence, I went with some patterned wall decals from blik.

{I let Luna decide where the decals should be placed}

 

{Applying the decals to the wall}

 

{On the opposite wall – green glass knobs from Anthropologie}

 

{An organized way to display all of my necklaces}

    Can’t believe you’re allowed to do all that with a rental. In Australia we can’t even put a hook on the wall, let alone paint, wall paper etc.

    WOW!

    What a beautiful bathroom! I like the idea of separate bathrooms…. one girly and one masculine!

    Do you still keep Luna’s litter box in your bathroom? Do you have chic way on containing it? I keep my cats litter pan in the bathroom but her litter gets every where?!

    Wow, I really like the idea of hanging necklaces on door knobs, and I bet it would be pretty easy to just find a random assortment of knobs at a thrift store. Very inspiring.

  • chris

    did you drill wholes in the walls before screwing in the knobs? and did you have a problem with studs? they didn’t hurt the sheet rock?

  • Maya
