Before and After: Luna’s Room

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}

I really like how you used the wall stickers! I used to have very similar ones in my old place (black tree branches with birds) and I’m hoping to decorate a new house with wall decals soon! :D
Ah I’d love to have a bathroom separate from my boyfriend’s… “Girl zones” are always good to have… might have to put the “two bathrooms” up on my priority list when choosing our new place! :D

i love those knobs! super cute/functional idea–using them to hang necklaces. anthropologie always has the prettiest decorative items.

7 Jenny { 04.21.10 at 1:33 am }

Very nice! I really like it.

8 Su { 04.21.10 at 1:38 am }

I really loved how you have used decals to breathe life into the room! Well done!

9 vicky { 04.21.10 at 1:40 am }

turned out super cute! I have been wanting to exchange the plain white knobs on my desk drawers with similar glas ones in pretty colors but this far my boyfriend hasn’t warmed up to the idea! sooo lucky for having a separate girl-bathroom!

wow what a difference! i need to change mine soon staring a white walls in my teeny bathroom is becoming some what annoying x

Necklace display is great…wonderful idea. A cat’s bathroom makes me think of ‘Meet the Fockers’… ;-)

12 Jane { 04.21.10 at 2:03 am }

LOVE the way you set everything up! Are the decals removable?? They look great. I think I want birds in mine :)

And the glass knobs–what a great idea!

Such great inspiration!

I love your cat ;) and your passion for interior design.

14 Jacqui { 04.21.10 at 2:07 am }

gorgeous! I love the green knobs!
i cannot wait to buy a house and design my bathroom exactly how i want it.

15 lucy { 04.21.10 at 2:09 am }

Those green glass knobs are a gorgeous way to hang necklaces. I think I might steal your idea as mine always end up in a twisted knot which takes hours to untangle!

What a transformation – it looks gorgeous! I love the idea of using the glass knobs for hanging necklaces.

17 Ele from BORO { 04.21.10 at 2:26 am }

The door knobs/jewellery arranger is totally inspired. Beautiful green glass. Have similar ones of my cupboard but opaque. Are you making any more jewellery?

18 Kelly { 04.21.10 at 2:36 am }

wow this looks SO good! Loving the tips especially since we just moved from a house where I had free reign into a rental where I’m not allow to paint or put holes in the walls! Your decals look great!

19 Jammer { 04.21.10 at 2:39 am }

How cute! But if I put necklaces on the wall, my cat would literaly never stop jumping at them lol. They would be torn down by lunch.

20 kendall { 04.21.10 at 2:43 am }

thats so weird that you have seperate bathrooms?! why don’t you two just share and let luna have her own? I suppose it would make getting ready for work at the same time easier…

21 Christina { 04.21.10 at 2:51 am }

The knobs are super cute……. You really take the best pictures…..

I applaud you for the knobs! anthro has the cutest knobs! i think i might try it too (:

23 Jenna { 04.21.10 at 3:03 am }

i love the new bathroom! being a college student and moving apartments every year i also gave up on the idea of having a cute and comfortable bathroom, living room, etc. But your little decor efforts are very inspiring and making me reconsider my previous notion. Who knew just a little decor can go so far?

24 abbiebabble { 04.21.10 at 3:09 am }

I love the knobs for storing necklaces- I’ve seen people use thumbtacks before, but this is so much chicer!

25 Clare { 04.21.10 at 3:22 am }

Lovely bathroom! I hope Luna is very happy in there :)

Love the necklace idea!

31 Jessica { 04.21.10 at 3:49 am }

Don’t you just love the knobs to hang your necklaces. I did the same thing in my office – all the knobs were on sale at Anthropologie for 2.95, how could I pass that up??

Love your transformation!!

32 Adriana { 04.21.10 at 3:52 am }

Blik’s are great, wish we could get them here! I remember it was you who first introduced them to me nearly a year ago now…I love the door knobs for the necklaces too, soo effective :)

33 Alecto { 04.21.10 at 4:15 am }

the green knobs are a brilliant idea and the thoughtful addition of flowers is oh so sweet.

34 Felicity Lingle { 04.21.10 at 4:17 am }

What a clever idea for displaying jewelry and those tulips are gorgeous!

35 Wendygital { 04.21.10 at 4:20 am }

Your bathroom certainly looks and sounds like a very interesting place, now that you share it with that cute guest, hehe… :-)
The wall decals look great, and you’ve just gave me a very nice idea for the use of crystal knobs! Lovely display!

36 Alex { 04.21.10 at 4:22 am }

Am loving the knobs on the walls for necklaces (not to mention rather envious of your necklace collection!). Your creative flair is obviously not just limited to your wardrobe!

37 Gina Michele { 04.21.10 at 4:29 am }

You did a great job! It looks beautiful!
The knobs are a clever alternative to sticking your necklaces in a drawer.
Also, I wish I could keep cut flowers in the house. My cats would rip them apart and eat them in 2 seconds!

38 freckles and fringe { 04.21.10 at 4:33 am }

I really like the fancy knobs…I never thought to use them for necklaces, but that’s great!

39 Erin { 04.21.10 at 4:53 am }

I was just thinking about Luna the other day. I was happy to see her in the pic. Darling bathroom!

40 Marie { 04.21.10 at 4:54 am }

Great job with the room. Love the knobs.. I have my necklaces hanging like that in my closet but instead on push pins. Lol

46 Valerie { 04.21.10 at 5:22 am }

Wow, what an improvement! Your bathroom looks great now. The Anthropologie knobs make me happy. So cute that Luna has decorative skills.

47 Danielle (elleinadspir) { 04.21.10 at 5:24 am }

I love the knobs! Much better than the pushpins that line my closet! I’m giving away a Lucky Brand necklace this week if you are wanting to add to your collection!

Btw…great choice on the tulips. They are ok for cats. My cat never really messes with my flowers, but I always check their toxicisity anyway.

48 Kat { 04.21.10 at 5:29 am }

WOW! I love these ideas!

49 Francine { 04.21.10 at 5:30 am }

This is so frickin cool! I love the idea of your jewelry serving as a room decoration. I’m sure Luna will love this bathroom now, haha.

50 C. { 04.21.10 at 5:33 am }

Good choices! But how do you keep Luna from knocking your necklaces off the knobs? I know my cat would be there 2 seconds :)

51 Carole { 04.21.10 at 5:38 am }

The pic of your cat is hilarious.
The glass knobs? Genius!

57 erica marie { 04.21.10 at 6:13 am }

I really love the way you used the knobs for your necklaces and the color of them. The picture of Luna deciding where the decal went was so cute.

58 Sally { 04.21.10 at 6:14 am }

The knobs as display elements? Inspired! Hopefully Luna won’t see them as playthings …

59 Elle Sees { 04.21.10 at 6:16 am }

76 Christina { 04.21.10 at 7:03 am }

Ok I love those knobs from Anthropologie and have been thinking of using them on an old white dresser I have, but I never thought of using them like that. How did you fix them to the wall?

77 jamie { 04.21.10 at 7:05 am }

It’s amazing how little changes can have big impact. I love the knobs. I have mine necklaces displayed on hooks but the knows are so pretty!

78 Kate (Embarrassment of Riches) { 04.21.10 at 7:11 am }

LOVE the knobs! Are they placed high enough that Luna can’t bat around the necklaces? (A friend’s kitten perished while playing with looped blind cords.) Sorry to be a downer – I’m a paranoid cat mom (to four felines)!

79 Kirsty { 04.21.10 at 7:17 am }

I second that; how did you attach them to the wall? I’ve considered this a few times but haven’t taken the time to figure out how to get them up there and staying!

81 Katy { 04.21.10 at 7:19 am }

82 kelly stieben { 04.21.10 at 7:20 am }

OK wow. I know that a lot have commented on the glass knobs but they really do warrant a comment from all that see!
Using those on a wall for necklaces is [BRILLIANT]. Thank you for the inspiration. Thankfully kc has an anthropologie!! <3

87 Elizabeth { 04.21.10 at 7:43 am }

Thank you for such great inspiration! Being an apt. renter as well, I often feel a lack of motivation/inspiration to make changes since they cant really be permanent! And I was nervous decals would look tacky, but yours are fabulous and just what the room needed.

And I love the idea of the knobs as jewelry holders…I apologize if I copy that idea!

And Luna is precious (I’m checking to see if my future apt. allows cats!)

88 The French { 04.21.10 at 8:00 am }

Great post. You gave me some good ideas. Do you mind me asking how much the green knobs are?

I love the door knob idea for your necklaces, it would be a great way for exhibiting jewelry too. I bought loads of knobs on a trip to India a few years ago and hadn’t gotten around to using them yet. Thanks for that!

97 eve lynn kessner { 04.21.10 at 8:25 am }

love the decals AND the knobs. i just moved into a new apartment (from a coop we owned to a rental) and i’m trying my best to make it special without making too many permanent changes. i bought some anthropologie knobs to fix up a dresser i bought at a thrift furniture joint on houston street. i’m thinking some decals would be uberfab in my baby’s room. thanks for the link!

My cat would definitely be attacking those dangling toys though :)

I recently redid my bathroom too, and knobs from Anthro were at the top of my shopping list :) Another thing I did was use lace to line the shelves of my linen cupboards and medicine cabinet – prettier than shelving paper and easier to remove.

I love this idea for the necklaces- but I’m wondering doesn’t Luna swat at them? Anything dangling is a prime target for my kitty. =( Looks cute though!!

124 Jen Tarte { 04.21.10 at 11:29 am }

Haha, I love when we get peeks of Luna in your blog! So adorable. And great job with the bathroom. I’ve been thinking of switching mine up too. And the necklaces are a great touch! Though did you move them from their original position? I thought I remember you had another post with hanging necklaces.

125 marta { 04.21.10 at 11:43 am }

Love that picture of Luna on the toilet attacking the decal.

126 janice { 04.21.10 at 11:55 am }

Hi Emily! I absolutely love your necklace idea.wow! never would have though to organize my necklace with door knobs on the wall. I will definitely have to try that out… =)

I love the green knobs for necklaces, I did something similar a while back with fun push pins i found, it really helps to remind me of the necklaces I have, otherwise, out of sight out of mind.

i like the knobs as necklace holders ideas and am definitely going to check out blik!

Love the updates to the bathroom. The knobs are genius! I just did a wall display for my most cherished baubles.

ha! I love the pic of Luna’s cat paw holding it in position. Did you name her after Sailor Moon’s cat? Too cute.

142 K { 04.21.10 at 3:59 pm }

I love a good before and after!! Great idea using the knobs as a way to keep your necklaces organized! Check out this before and after: http://vagabondblondes.blogspot.com/2010/04/home-decor-before-and-after.html

143 Empress { 04.21.10 at 4:06 pm }

the glass knobs are gorgeous, love that idea!

144 Deborah { 04.21.10 at 4:29 pm }

The glass knobs are a fabulous idea!! I need to figure out a way to do that in my closet.

145 Jaycelle { 04.21.10 at 4:57 pm }

Wow! Pretty necklaces and the green glass knobs looks refreshing to look at.

146 Katie { 04.21.10 at 4:59 pm }

Really pretty, I love the glass knobs.

147 Rachel (heart of light) { 04.21.10 at 5:25 pm }

The Blick decals look great in there, but I especially love the knobs as a necklace storage solution. So clever! I just hope you put them far enough out of Luna’s reach that she doesn’t steal them.

148 Elizabeth { 04.21.10 at 5:34 pm }

Wow, my bathroom is so similar! I bought my wall decals at Cost Plus World Market, but they’re very similar. I love the pretty glass knobs from Anthropologie. I went with a much cheaper necklace solution though. I used 3m mini-hooks with silver ribbon bows on them. I just love the look of using jewelry as a decoration, plus I wear them a lot more now that they’re on display.

149 Jennifer { 04.21.10 at 5:43 pm }

The bathroom looks great. I never know the best way to hang my necklaces…but I really love this idea. Plus it adds a nice splash of color. But I agree with Rachel, I hope Luna doesn’t steal them ;)

150 parker { 04.21.10 at 5:51 pm }

we used to have the same problem (the kitty litter smell) in our guest bathroom and it would take over the whole house! i splurged on the litter robot and now you cannot even tell we have 3 cats in a 1500 square foot house! no kitty litter smell! you should check it out! the knobs are awesome for necklaces! <3 that idea!

151 Kelly { 04.21.10 at 6:12 pm }

i love the idea of the knobs on the wall how pretty! the stickers are also super cute. I put a similar post up about tatoos on the walls in my blog check it out!

152 Leslie { 04.21.10 at 6:41 pm }

Love, Love, Love wall decals!!! They make such a difference without spending too much or making such a huge commitment! Looks FAB!!!

153 CJ { 04.21.10 at 7:23 pm }

I used to work at Anthro and I would always wonder what people did with the LOADS of knobs they would buy (besides put them on shelving of course). Your necklace idea is adorable and a great idea!

PS. The one commenter who asked why you don’t just share the bathroom with your boyfriend made me laugh…if she could only hear the fights I get in with my boyfriend about my makeup being everywhere or him leaving the toilet seat up!

154 Emily//The Lesser Panda { 04.21.10 at 8:35 pm }

I really like what you have done with the bathroom, the whole project turned out well. I especially like how you had Luna help you with the decorating!

155 Sally { 04.21.10 at 9:42 pm }

I love the idea of getting pretty door knobs from anthropologie to display your necklaces! :)

156 ieatfashionforbreakfast.blogspot.com { 04.21.10 at 10:27 pm }

Wow! That cat has great design sense.

157 jenn { 04.21.10 at 10:41 pm }

I love the doorknobs for your necklaces!

158 Nandi { 04.21.10 at 10:51 pm }

Soooo cute! I luV it ~ and those green knobs are so so pretty! great decorating ideas! p.s. Ur necklaces are fabulous! Xx

159 duckalicious { 04.21.10 at 10:56 pm }

164 Jesse Vice { 04.22.10 at 7:57 am }

loveee the wall decals!!

165 Michelle { 04.22.10 at 9:44 am }

I love those decals. Also the way to hold your necklaces. I’m impressed and might do the same thing for my scarves!

166 Stephanie J { 04.22.10 at 10:19 am }

The Knob Idea is so awesome! I use tacts right now. SO boring! How do you get the knobs to stay in the wall like that? I would love to know :) heystephj@gmail.com Thanks so much, I enjoy your awesome blog.

167 Flora { 04.22.10 at 10:36 am }

I love the knobs!! I have so many long necklaces that always need a place to hang!

168 Becca { 04.22.10 at 12:21 pm }

This looks great! I also went with decals in my last apartment because of the temporary nature of my time there, they are lovely and for the most part come off perfectly well, but be warned, they might strip off paint! A few of mine did.

Also? I love how those doorknobs look. I’ve been eying them on anthropologie for ages and am glad to see they look as good in use as I thought they would.

Inspired!

169 Christi { 04.22.10 at 2:30 pm }

Back when I had an apartment which I shared with my cat, I had an ornate litterbox cover. It was custom-made and essentially looked like a little circus tent. You just need someone to weld a frame and then buy some fabric to create a slipcover. Mine came complete with tassels to hold back the entry. Enchanté, darling.

170 Marissa { 04.22.10 at 3:01 pm }

Yes– love it! How did you get them to stay in the wall though? Let us know!!

171 Meredith { 04.22.10 at 3:02 pm }

Love the necklace organization. Jewelry can be such a difficult thing to organize! I believe that since earrings, necklaces and bracelets are so beautiful, why not display them like you did? I’ve actually replaced frame backings with screen and dangle my earrings that way. This allows me to hang the frame in the living room! Jewelry as art :)

xo,

Its really nice , you have a good taste its so much better then its was great job

173 pennyrounds { 04.22.10 at 7:40 pm }

So funny! I love that elephant necklace! I saw one at a flea market and randomly thought, “I bet Emily would love this!”.

Look beautiful!

174 Kelly @ Dare to be Domestic { 04.23.10 at 9:38 am }

If I had my own bathroom I’d make it as girlie as possible, even if my “tough guy” cat, Angus would share it with me. I love this. The knobs are amazing. I use a coat rack to organize my necklaces but I love this idea even more! Well done girl! I bet Luna loves it.

175 Laura { 04.23.10 at 10:09 am }

Great!!

176 Libby { 04.23.10 at 11:24 am }

the glass knobs are beautiful! great idea. how did you install them into the wall though? i have my necklaces hanging on a really pertty cork board (framed) and hanging from pearl pins!

177 Priscilla Joy { 04.23.10 at 12:49 pm }

Love this idea.

178 Micah-Noel { 04.23.10 at 4:40 pm }

Looks great! Those green knobs are super cool! :)

179 Christine { 04.23.10 at 6:02 pm }

Luna is very cute, picking a spot over the loo! Love blik. They are awesome. Excellent job!!!

180 Eurotrip Tips { 04.23.10 at 9:14 pm }

Always let the cat have its way :)
Love the necklace display by the way, and the pretty flowers!

181 Stephanie Grace { 04.23.10 at 9:38 pm }

I have a black and white cat named Luna too :) Such cuties.
I absolutely LOVE the knobs idea.

182 Misha { 04.24.10 at 3:28 am }

Oh, love the glass knobs! So stealing the idea :) Oh and did you by any chance name Luna after the Sailor Moon cat? She’s black after all…

183 FILIPA { 04.26.10 at 9:56 am }

Great idea :D you did it amazing!

184 Nadia { 04.27.10 at 5:56 pm }

186 Nicole { 05.17.10 at 12:51 pm }

I have the same question as a few people above me – love the knob look, been trying something similar myself. I rent though as well and don’t want to make holes in the wall the size that those knobs seem to require – what’s your trick?!?

love the bliks, I’ve been eyeing a few patterns to add to my living room
xoxo

187 claire { 05.18.10 at 7:52 am }

Super love this idea!

188 Janice { 05.28.10 at 11:10 am }

Emily, can you email me and give me instructions on how you put the knobs on the wall?

189 Dance_Stars { 06.04.10 at 3:52 am }

Amazing now I know where to display some of my necklaces. Love it!

Would LOVE to know how you got the door knobs affixed to the wall. Did you glue? Did you screw? If you screwed, what type of screw did you use since it’s a different surface than a door. Thanks!

196 Marisa { 09.23.10 at 3:26 pm }

Figured out how to install the door knobs!

197 Catey { 10.02.10 at 12:23 pm }

wow!!
I really like how you changed your bathroom! But what really amazed me is your creativity on how to put your necklaces in an organized way using doorknobs! :O I have actually considered trying it out, but I haven’t gotten the time to hang the doorknobs up :( (. Keep it up, and good luck!!

198 Justine { 10.07.10 at 9:02 am }

This is great! I LOVE the little knobs :)

Just Better Together

199 kris { 10.07.10 at 4:55 pm }

awesome knob idea !
how did you stick them on the wall?

200 Mallory { 10.11.10 at 6:24 pm }

Love the knobs…I have a Luna too but she is a baby, not a cat! Super creative :)

201 Stepanie { 11.02.10 at 8:12 pm }

Great idea. I need to do something like this because my tangled web is getting out of control.

202 Pearl { 11.08.10 at 12:38 am }

really chic and glam!

203 andrea { 01.29.11 at 2:07 pm }

omg, great idea, love the new necklace holder!

204 Traci { 02.11.11 at 8:53 am }

Awwwwwwww Luna. Sooo cute and so helpful. :)

205 melli { 02.15.11 at 12:25 pm }

ooooh i love this idea. i have been searching for a way to organize my jewelry- thanks!

206 kelli { 02.16.11 at 10:14 pm }

does Luna not mess with your necklaces? hard to believe

<333

207 janine { 04.17.11 at 7:07 am }

The anthropologie knobs were a stroke of genius!

208 Margeux Vincent { 04.25.11 at 1:49 pm }

I loveeee the knobs as necklace hangers idea! I’m going to have to implement this into my new apartment, come August!

209 She Wore It Well Blog { 06.26.11 at 3:52 pm }

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!

210 silly blahgs { 07.23.11 at 12:45 pm }

“knobbing” the necklaces. brilliant and beautiful!

211 Louise { 07.25.11 at 9:40 am }

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

212 Michelle { 07.28.11 at 5:15 am }

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?!

213 Liz { 10.10.11 at 7:49 pm }

This is such a good idea for necklaces!

214 Lauren { 10.28.11 at 7:00 pm }

very cute love everything about this!!

215 Sydney { 12.21.11 at 9:37 pm }

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.

216 svenja { 01.14.12 at 2:03 pm }

this is were i keep all my necklaces..

217 amy { 01.21.12 at 5:49 pm }

looks amazing! how are you attaching the knobs to the wall? i have a bunch of old ones i’ve been wanting to put to good use and love this idea!

218 gaby { 01.24.12 at 3:26 pm }

I really want to know were did you get those green knobs there beautiful?

219 M { 02.03.12 at 3:08 pm }

what a great way to display necklaces- i love it!!!
