The {Bug}

There's a bug going around and I've got it. It's the board and batten bug and let me just tell you that I. Am. In. Love.

A while back Ian and I decided to do some decorative wainscoting in our dining room area. Ian wasn't too thrilled with the idea because he knew that it meant more him and less us when it came to the amount of work to be done. I must say though that he taught me a lot on DIY projects and walked me through the steps (insert awwwwww). It turned out beautiful and ever since the only thing I can think about it placing wainscoting throughout out entire house! I know...I know. A little extreme.

This is our dining room. Not the best picture but divine right?

My newest crush is our bathroom and I think she is in need of a major makeover. After painting our bedroom a gorgeous deep blue/gray our poor en suite bathroom has been looking so shabby and no I do not mean shabby chic. I mean shabby..worn...in need of repair! So I figured what better way to spruce it up then starting with some board and batten. I have been researching high and low and I can totally do this myself with Ian. Still trying to get him on board but for now here are some rooms that I have been dreaming about...

Ummm can you say GORGEOUS! Found this at www.thenester.com

And this is where my inspiration began...I will definitely be including a small shelf along the top. I think it just adds so much character. Found at Coastal Living

Wow....am I the only one in heaven right now? Found at www.itsthelittlethingsthatmakeahouseahome.blogspot.com

So for now I will keep dreaming. Maybe I will just come home with a bunch of paint samples and start painting the bathroom until my sweet hubby jumps on the bandwagon with me! Hey...that's how I got that gorgeous blue/gray in our bedroom :)
