Tudor Brown is my pick, I feel you can really see the richness of the brown. Bittersweet chocolate seems too black on the ceiling (would be a great wall color though). The instant I saw the Natural Linen color, I thought, "if she doesn't pick that, I will try to convince her IMMEDIATELY" XD So excited for you! I love seeing your home slowly but surely come to life. Your videos bring me so much joy!
Yes I feel like that color combo goes will with the almost English, equestrian, country style(?) I get from the mirror and phonograph cabinet. I’m just loving this bathroom already!
Tudor Brown fits the age and “feel” of the house. Love love the natural linen. Seriously…you are awe inspiring. The house is happy. You can feel it. New life. 🥰
I love the Tudor Brown, it’s calming and I think it looks really cohesive with all of the other colors and elements you have. You also mentioned that the bathroom doesn’t get as much sunlight so that should help the brown look darker, especially on the ceiling and the alcove wall! I’m so excited to see the progress, I’m already in love with everything!
I can't believe how invested I've become in a complete stranger's life. I've been with you since way back when you were doing thrift flip collabs with Drew, but this has drawn me in in a totally different way. I'm proud that I made the same color choices as you and I was yelling at the computer for you to cut that phonograph cabinet in the exact place you ended up doing it. I think I'm ready to venture out and reno a house myself, now! Thanks for the coaching!
I'd try mixing the colors and do a sample of the mix! I like how the bittersweet chocolate's cooler tone sets off the warmth of the wood, but the Tudor is nice too. I think the handles for the vanity are very pretty, but almost feel like a simpler knob might allow the backplate to stand out more. It's going to be so fun to see how this turns out!
Totally agree. I think mixing will probably give the desired color/tone and 100% agree on the door knobs. a simpler knob with the pretty backplate would be adorable and make it less "frilly".
Yes, all of this! I love the contrast of the bittersweet chocolate but the Tudor brown is definitely more calming. A mix of the two might be perfect. Agree on the hardware, too. Those handles would be pretty elsewhere, I think they're just too much when combined with the back plates.
That cabinet sanded down SO WELL. As much as I realllly love those handles, I feel like they are too frilly. The good thing about hardware, though, is you can always change it relatively easily! I’d go with something a little less busy, because that cabinet already has an amazing amount of character! I almost want to see really simple little knobs like the ones it came with!
Same! The ones that came with the little cabinet are so darling, they totally fit the space, so I was really surprised when she was thinking of changing them out!
I loved Bittersweet from the paper swatch you picked at the store! I think that mixed with the Natural Linen, the floors and the penny tile will just look so stunning.
I really like the Tudor Brown with the white linen. Also, the top of the cabinet would make a really unique bowl if you can keep all the stamp on it from the middle or maybe a wall décor piece. I can see lots of possibilities with it.
Haha…at the end “this is XO Romeo”. 😂 The Tudor brown looks like it would compliment all the other elements nicely. It’s so pretty! You’ve done an amazing job, can’t wait to see it all finished and styled.
Super excited for you to be in the pretty stage! Bittersweet chocolate and natural linen looked the closest to your inspiration photos. I personally love the drama and moodiness of bittersweet chocolate and natural linen but I do agree that there is a more cozy and charming aura with the Tudor brown and natural linen.
That’s exactly what I was thinking! It’s the closest to her inspo. I think either color will work, but if she puts a cabinet/hutch on that wall like she wants to, it might blend in with that warmer brown. Excited to see what she chooses.
omg before i watch this i just wanted to say that i found your video of you making the framing for cabinets then i FELL down a rabbit hole and watched every video of you renovating the cottage. it was such an emotional journey for me watching it (i can’t imagine how you felt) because i plan on building my own house from start to finish in the future and it inspired me so much so thank you for posting all the details you do, it is so insightful and motivating.
@@XOMaCenna my pleasure!!! btw i am IN LOVE with the cabinet, i love the wenge color but for your space i think the tutor brown and the natural linen would match the best with the wood on the cabinet and the mirror. and i’m also obsessed with the hardware you found, i hope you can match it with the cabinet you are gonna build!! i can’t wait!!!!
For me, the bathroom colour should hands down be bittersweet chocolate. The drama is everything. I like that the undertone looks a bit cooler than the Tudor brown, and goes well with the cool toned whites you seem to favour. 😊
From the first list of browns. It was TUDOR BROWN that I was begging you to choose. And a really good level of sophistication there. Delighted to hear you are taking Mom back to Paris, France. You guys are going to have a wild time together. You are both a bit competitive together, and I cannot wait for when you both hit the Paris Flea Market. This interaction brings a great alternative energy through your vlogs:) Memories of all those estate sales. In time, would love to know more about her and your Dad's project; the one with the water at the end of the property. It looked really interesting. Would be nice to have a peep when the time is right......
I love that you recapped the whole process from the original vision, to demo, and everything up til now! AMAZING to see your dreams from a year ago come to life
Maybe someone has already commented this/ or you know it: but when I wanted something between two colours, I went to the paint department with the swatches I wanted something between them and they actually pulled out this other swatch booklet that covers colors between the references number on the swatch. It was so cool to find exactly what I wanted
I cannot believe I’ve been watching you for over 3 years when you were posting diys and now you’re literally renovating/building this house on your own. Look forward to your posts all week
Originally I picked Tudor brown right away when seeing the samples but next to the linen color I actually love bittersweet! Both are gorgeous and will compliment the other colors in the space.
Watching your artistic/stylistic design process is amazing. It’s so in depth and it feels like a conversation rather than just you talking at us - even though that is literally what you’re doing lolol. It feels educational too - as if you’re not gatekeeping the how-to of design like I feel some diy/decor personalities tend to. I am so looking forward to all these “pretty” videos 😁
I have been waiting for this episode!!! You inspire me to SLOOOOOOOW down with making my house a home. I have to sit with my tendency to want everything done right away, even though it's uncomfortable. You inspire me so much to hunt and wait and have patience.
This video just choked me up! To see your labors of love and respect for this old house is so gratifying.... using the salvaged pieces you've reclaimed, getting the cabinet behind the vanity 'just right" for the bead board, staying up late w Romeo to prime and paint, seeing you build a transom like a boss! And then to see your palette coming together w each element....it makes me unaccountably happy! I've been following you for a couple years now and im just so darn proud of you and Romeo... xoxoxo
Whenever you are cutting wood (especially old wood) I’ve always used painters tape to help. You can draw a straight line to help follow, and it also helps prevent splinters/taking away unnecessary bits of wood! Loving this and can’t wait for more design!
The Tudor and Linen look really well together. I just love dark and could actually use black and be happy with it. I wish I could thumb up this video 50 times; the DIYs were so satisfying. Glad you guys enjoyed your trip and are home safe. I am so going to enjoy seeing your home come together this year. You guys are fantastic! TFS 😉
As soon as I saw Tudor brown I fell for that. It's such a lovely color. It has the warmth and aged look. Also I love netural with hint of green but for sure the warm green tints are hard to decide. And the one you used is much on cooler side so yes to natural linen.
I just want to comment before I watch, I AM SO EXCITED, to see your room makeovers starting! So amazing how far you have come and how much you have done yourself.
Restor-a-finish is the BEST!!! I started team Bittersweet but I wound up rooting for Tudor - I cannot believe it's been over a year of this adventure! So excited to see what happens next
I love the contrast of the bittersweet with that linen color. I also think it might help draw your guest's eyes to that beautiful 100 year old vanity you have restored the love into! Your videos are such an inspiration, thank you so much for sharing your exciting journey with us! You are living my dream!
Right away when you were lining up the brown samples I liked Tudor Brown and when you paired it up with the Natural Linen, I thought that was it! Just my humble opinion, so happy you get to do all the fun stuff now! 🤎
Getting excited for the "pretty stage"! You have put so much hard labor into this cottage. The Victrola instructions or label would make interesting vintage art work and Rub n Buff works well on metal hardware.
I have a feeling you'll choose tudor brown but I LOVE bittersweet chocolate. I think it's rich, vibey, and so beautifully dark, plus it matches the vanity really well. I also love that it's technically brown but super close to black. It feels more daring and moody. Can't wait to see this room come together! Following along on this journey has been such a joy :)
Tudor brown looks gorg. Always obsessed with watching your creative flow and thought process. This house is going to be so beautiful and so special. ❤️
I love the attention that has been given to restoring, avoiding waste and doing it yourselves.. It's so commendable! Such hard work.. Whatever choices that are made now about paint colours or furnishings are yours..and they'll be perfect.
This is like watching a magic show! Oh my goodness! It is coming together so beautifully. Thank you so much for giving those old pieces a new and improved life. I love it!
Bittersweet Chocolate is my pick! The dark colors allow all your accessories and furniture to really standout and creates a very warm and inviting atmosphere. I’m so glad you are using darker colors. I’m so tired of the all white rooms so many do. Have fun!!!
It might have taken you over a year to get to this point, but it’s also a HUGE Project you’ve taken on, with salvaging materials thrown into the mix. You should be sooo proud af yourself. The thrifted elements in this bathroom are gloriously beautiful. Can’t wait to see the finished room.Oh - and Tudor Brown and Natural Linen are the colors to go with, in my opinion.
I've loved that vanity since the day you bought it! Absolutely adorable! Am not sure if I like the hardware/knobs that you're chosen for it but then again it could end up looking nice when everything is put together. Cannot wait to see how this bathroom turns out. So exciting!
Love those pieces! I was actually thinking the mirror was going to go the other way with the arch at the top. I wonder how it would look the other way 😊
While the mirror would look fabulous either way, this style is called a shield mirror and is meant to be hung exactly the way she shows it. (I have one myself)
When we built our house, I was looking for a old cabinet for our guest bathroom. It took me 3 1/2 years to find one with the right dimentions and style. You won't believe this, but I found the exact cabinet that you have. It was in amazing shape. I had bought an antique marble top with a 1 ft tall backsplash and a counter sunk sink. I couldn't be happier.
Hello MaCenna, the first hardware fits perfectly with the cabinet and especially the sink. i love you and your work You are such a creative, powerful and unique personality. Please keep it up, your videos make my day better. Greetings from Germany
The bittersweet chocolate is more modern and would be bolder and more “catalogue” designer and upscale but the Tudor brown would match more the era of your style. I think though, if you want it to still be modern as well as classic, then the more contemporary bittersweet chocolate brown is the better choice
Oh I have missed these reno vids so much! I’m absolutely loving the direction you’re going with the guest bath. I definitely am leaning towards that Tudor brown 😍 and those knobs for the vanity?!?! Hello gorgeousness!!!! I swear you’re inspiring me to find a 100 yr old house to reno, design, and decorate of my own as well 😂
Watching you create these rooms one can’t help but notice you are giddy with joy! This is a true labor of love ❤️ for you. What a privilege to watch this transformation. Thank you so much for sharing your journey with us! 🥰❤️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
My favorite is the super dark almost blackish brown. The contrast almost makes it a modern interpretation of a very traditional, historical feeling space.
So exciting I was riveted, when you propped the mirror up on the ledge I panicked for a second thought it was going to fall the sweet hardware is everything 💕🤗
I really love the bittersweet with linen , it just is very bold and the contrast between these 2 colours along with the trin board colour is giving me life ... I just think it is a very bold move and would be a statement.
I like the Bittersweet Chocolate and the Natural Linen color combination. The Bittersweet Chocolate will give it a stylish and modern twist, just like the inspiration picture you chose. This is getting soo exciting!
I love how the cabinet, mirror and sink look together! Fabulous! Strangely enough, the hardware, I’m mixed. I love the back plates, but not so much the knobs. Although, I have no suggestions about that. If it were me, I would take a backplate and go looking at knobs. Paint colors, I prefer the lighter color you chose and like the Tudor brown best in combo with everything else. But without everything else, I like the darkest brown best. I know, that’s a real mixed bag and not very helpful. LOL. While the interlude in Europe was really fun, your Reno/DIY/deco videos give me life! So jazzed waiting to see how everything turns out! Your videos have been a real highlight for me during Covid ickys!
Your choices are spot on. Loved viewing the process and seeing the colors play out as winners. Using the foam core as you said “ can be moved around the room” thank you🦢⚜️🦢
Immediately went with Tudor Brown! It is a warm & rich brown but with a tad of coolness. You are giving me all the "let's re-decorate now" feels. Ahh so exciting to see it all come together and your vision come to life!
Your house is going to be absolutely stunning there’s literally 0 doubt about it lol there’s not a chance it won’t be omg I’m so excited to see how it turns out
AHHHHHH I literally cannot contain my excitement to see the "pretty" parts start coming together!! You've accomplished so much!! I like Tudor Brown but you could ask the paint guys to mix Bitter Sweet Chocolate at 75% formula so that it's lighter or mix Tudor brown 125% so that it's darker and test those?
Tudor!!! When you explained it’s calmness that’s exactly what I was thinking. And bathing in a calming environment, possibly with dim lighting and candles… a vibe! I’m so excited to see how the bathroom will turn out ~
Bittersweet chocolate 🍫 is definitely my pick! It looks so good with the linen wall color and compliments the vanity cabinet. Tudor Brown looks too close to the furniture and mirror shades. I just like the idea of some more contrast in the room. I do love the hardware but think it’s a bit too frilly and competes against the beautiful shape and detail of the cabinet. I’d go with something more simple or instead of 4 of the frilly ones, go with two of those & 2 less busy options.
I was a little sceptical about the brown at first but I absolutely love it. I would be trying to mix the two browns and do a test swatch just to see😂. I love the hardware for the cabinet 😍
I like the darker shade of brown. It just looks more elegant for me. The stain you just applied matched it perfectly. Looking forward to see this bathroom finished! ♥️
Tudor Brown is my pick, I feel you can really see the richness of the brown. Bittersweet chocolate seems too black on the ceiling (would be a great wall color though). The instant I saw the Natural Linen color, I thought, "if she doesn't pick that, I will try to convince her IMMEDIATELY" XD So excited for you! I love seeing your home slowly but surely come to life. Your videos bring me so much joy!
Yesssss to all of this!!!!
Place a portion of the penny tile over the linen paint sample, to see if it looks good together. The linen might look too yellow.
I agreee
Yes I feel like that color combo goes will with the almost English, equestrian, country style(?) I get from the mirror and phonograph cabinet. I’m just loving this bathroom already!
Tudor!
Tudor brown and linen are my choices, I just enjoy how much they go together.
yayyy! me too! so warm and calming to the eye
Yup! Loved that combo most right away! Rich, elegant, classy colors! Its gonna be a heavenly bathroom!
I wasn't 100% sold on Tudor Brown until you put the refreshed vanity and mirror in the room. It will compliment them perfectly.
Definitely agree! I immediately knew Tudor Brown would be the way to go once I saw all the swatches
MaCenna have you considered Reverre Pewter? It’s a GORGEOUS neutral!
Tudor Brown looks sooo pretty!!! I’m already in love with the design of the space :) keep up the amazing work
i think so tooo! its the warmer of the two which i love!
@@XOMaCenna I honestly thought it was the one I liked less but seeing it with the other colours it just looks right! Either way it’ll look gorgeous
I agree. I think Tuder Brown is the way to go.
Yesss tudor brown ftw
Tudor! ❤️
Tudor Brown fits the age and “feel” of the house. Love love the natural linen. Seriously…you are awe inspiring. The house is happy. You can feel it. New life. 🥰
So true! The house seems so much lighter and brighter as the renovations continue. New energy for sure!
I love the Tudor Brown, it’s calming and I think it looks really cohesive with all of the other colors and elements you have. You also mentioned that the bathroom doesn’t get as much sunlight so that should help the brown look darker, especially on the ceiling and the alcove wall!

Totally agree. I think mixing will probably give the desired color/tone and 100% agree on the door knobs. a simpler knob with the pretty backplate would be adorable and make it less "frilly".
I literally came to say just this.
Yes yes yes! I recently mixed colors for a bathroom makeover and it's life changing!
Yes, all of this! I love the contrast of the bittersweet chocolate but the Tudor brown is definitely more calming. A mix of the two might be perfect. Agree on the hardware, too. Those handles would be pretty elsewhere, I think they're just too much when combined with the back plates.
Maybe a cute little ceramic knob
That cabinet sanded down SO WELL. As much as I realllly love those handles, I feel like they are too frilly. The good thing about hardware, though, is you can always change it relatively easily!

Same! The ones that came with the little cabinet are so darling, they totally fit the space, so I was really surprised when she was thinking of changing them out!
I agree. She could use those handles on the outer cabinets and use small crystal knobs in the center.
@@Ianthes Agreed, the tiny little button-like knobs it came with will pair so well with the faucet and shower knobs!
I love the plates, but combined WITH the handles, a little too frilly for my taste too
Tudor Brown.
The turn table looks incredible as a vanity. The sink ❤ The mirror, cleaned up. Oh my! Stunning.
definitely Tudor brown, and them handles on the vanity are absolutely beautiful ❤️
Oh gosh I immediately loved the bittersweet chocolate with the true linen! It makes more of a punch and looks more moody IMO!
I loved Bittersweet from the paper swatch you picked at the store! I think that mixed with the Natural Linen, the floors and the penny tile will just look so stunning.
Bittersweet chocolate is my pick, I would definitely mix them if you like both. Will definitely give the bathroom a moody look.
I think my favorite part of the “pretty stage” is going to be all the walks down memory lane! She’s come so far.😍
I love the hardware for the vanity, to me it’s not too frilly. They’re the perfect antique touch
TUDOR BROWN AND LINEN!!! They have such a calming feel to them. I’m so excited for y’all to be starting the makeover time on the house!🤍
I really like the Tudor Brown with the white linen. Also, the top of the cabinet would make a really unique bowl if you can keep all the stamp on it from the middle or maybe a wall décor piece. I can see lots of possibilities with it.
Haha…at the end “this is XO Romeo”. 😂
The Tudor brown looks like it would compliment all the other elements nicely. It’s so pretty! You’ve done an amazing job, can’t wait to see it all finished and styled.
Can we get this as a channel please?
I would definitely turn the mirror upside down. The shape is so interesting, love it!
Tudor brown is so beautiful and goes beautifully with natural linen. Love that combo!
Natural Linen and Tudor Brown. Can't wait to see how it turns out. Definitely ready for all the prettiness making it's way into the house!
Super excited for you to be in the pretty stage! Bittersweet chocolate and natural linen looked the closest to your inspiration photos. I personally love the drama and moodiness of bittersweet chocolate and natural linen but I do agree that there is a more cozy and charming aura with the Tudor brown and natural linen.

Definitely Tudor brown with linen. I think these two suit the vibe you’re going for. The room would looks soooo elegantly✨

thank youuuuuuu :)
Tudor Brown, luscious! The vanity looks so beautiful, the hardware, exquisite! YOU did such a GREAT JOB, you are the best!
Tudor Brown! Absolutely! It's nearly impossible to not get excited with you; your excitement and enthusiasm is contagious. So happy for you. 😃
I'm so impressed with how the bathroom vanity is turning out! I have to admit, I had my doubts. So fun! I love the tudor brown and the linen paints.
Can’t believe I watched you tour this house when you were just buying to now 🤯 So happy and excited for you! ❤️
I think those back plates would be stunning with a small knob similar to your front door. That warm kinda marbled colour. 😍😍
As soon as I saw Tudor brown I fell for that. It's such a lovely color. It has the warmth and aged look. Also I love netural with hint of green but for sure the warm green tints are hard to decide. And the one you used is much on cooler side so yes to natural linen.

This is like watching a magic show! Oh my goodness! It is coming together so beautifully. Thank you so much for giving those old pieces a new and improved life. I love it!
LOVE that you’re staining the cabinet!!! And with those handles…. 😍😍😍 I also love your paint choices. Hard yes to the brown ceiling!!!!!
So crazy to realize I've been watching you do this for over a year! You've come a long way and its going to be beautiful! 😍
Bittersweet Chocolate is my pick! The dark colors allow all your accessories and furniture to really standout and creates a very warm and inviting atmosphere. I’m so glad you are using darker colors. I’m so tired of the all white rooms so many do. Have fun!!!
Ahh so excited to see more of these makeover videos! Can’t wait to see the penny tile in place :)
I freaking love Tudor brown!

So exciting to see it start to take shape! The Tudor brown look really good with the linen color! So that’s my pick for sure!
Bittersweet for sure. I love the contrast of dark and light. It is a softer calming take on the classic black and white
Love those pieces! I was actually thinking the mirror was going to go the other way with the arch at the top. I wonder how it would look the other way 😊
I have thought that from the first time I saw it too, it screams to be flipped over to me.
While the mirror would look fabulous either way, this style is called a shield mirror and is meant to be hung exactly the way she shows it. (I have one myself)
When we built our house, I was looking for a old cabinet for our guest bathroom. It took me 3 1/2 years to find one with the right dimentions and style.

I couldn't be happier.
OMG... you did so much more than I anticipated in this video! Love Love Love the vanity corner already!
Hello MaCenna, the first hardware fits perfectly with the cabinet and especially the sink. i love you and your work You are such a creative, powerful and unique personality. Please keep it up, your videos make my day better. Greetings from Germany
The bittersweet chocolate is more modern and would be bolder and more “catalogue” designer and upscale but the Tudor brown would match more the era of your style. I think though, if you want it to still be modern as well as classic, then the more contemporary bittersweet chocolate brown is the better choice
I love the vanity handles they look perfect for the cabinet
I’m so invested. I cannot wait to see how gorgeous the entire cottage turns out to be
Oh I have missed these reno vids so much! I’m absolutely loving the direction you’re going with the guest bath. I definitely am leaning towards that Tudor brown 😍 and those knobs for the vanity?!?! Hello gorgeousness!!!! I swear you’re inspiring me to find a 100 yr old house to reno, design, and decorate of my own as well 😂
Watching you create these rooms one can’t help but notice you are giddy with joy! This is a true labor of love ❤️ for you. What a privilege to watch this transformation. Thank you so much for sharing your journey with us! 🥰❤️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Bittersweet is my favorite. I’m a fan of that classic contrast, especially since all of your other finishes and hardware are so classic looking
My favorite is the super dark almost blackish brown. The contrast almost makes it a modern interpretation of a very traditional, historical feeling space.
The hardware is exquisite!
This space is going to be stunning.
So looking forward to this season.👏🏼💐
So exciting I was riveted, when you propped the mirror up on the ledge I panicked for a second thought it was going to fall the sweet hardware is everything 💕🤗
I really love the bittersweet with linen , it just is very bold and the contrast between these 2 colours along with the trin board colour is giving me life ... I just think it is a very bold move and would be a statement.
I like the Bittersweet Chocolate and the Natural Linen color combination. The Bittersweet Chocolate will give it a stylish and modern twist, just like the inspiration picture you chose. This is getting soo exciting!
I'm so inspired by your ability to do all this stuff yourself. I just bought a fixer upper and am excited to try to do projects on my own, too!
I love how the cabinet, mirror and sink look together! Fabulous! Strangely enough, the hardware, I’m mixed. I love the back plates, but not so much the knobs. Although, I have no suggestions about that. If it were me, I would take a backplate and go looking at knobs. Paint colors, I prefer the lighter color you chose and like the Tudor brown best in combo with everything else. But without everything else, I like the darkest brown best.
I know, that’s a real mixed bag and not very helpful. LOL. While the interlude in Europe was really fun, your Reno/DIY/deco videos give me life! So jazzed waiting to see how everything turns out! Your videos have been a real highlight for me during Covid ickys!
I agree. The knobs make it TOO ornate.
Your choices are spot on. Loved viewing the process and seeing the colors play out as winners. Using the foam core as you said “ can be moved around the room” thank you🦢⚜️🦢
Immediately went with Tudor Brown! It is a warm & rich brown but with a tad of coolness. You are giving me all the "let's re-decorate now" feels. Ahh so exciting to see it all come together and your vision come to life!
Tudor Brown all the way! Can't wait to see the room, it's going to be beautiful!
Your house is going to be absolutely stunning there’s literally 0 doubt about it lol there’s not a chance it won’t be omg I’m so excited to see how it turns out
AHHHHHH I literally cannot contain my excitement to see the "pretty" parts start coming together!! You've accomplished so much!! I like Tudor Brown but you could ask the paint guys to mix Bitter Sweet Chocolate at 75% formula so that it's lighter or mix Tudor brown 125% so that it's darker and test those?
Love the hardware and the use of the stereo cabinet. It all looks perfect.
Tudor!!! When you explained it’s calmness that’s exactly what I was thinking. And bathing in a calming environment, possibly with dim lighting and candles… a vibe! I’m so excited to see how the bathroom will turn out ~
Tudor brown and Natural linen is a great combo, its more warm
Bittersweet chocolate 🍫 is definitely my pick! It looks so good with the linen wall color and compliments the vanity cabinet. Tudor Brown looks too close to the furniture and mirror shades. I just like the idea of some more contrast in the room. I do love the hardware but think it’s a bit too frilly and competes against the beautiful shape and detail of the cabinet. I’d go with something more simple or instead of 4 of the frilly ones, go with two of those & 2 less busy options.
I’m so excited for you, Macenna. I can’t wait for next time. I’m getting your idea and I can’t wait. Yay!!!
I was a little sceptical about the brown at first but I absolutely love it. I would be trying to mix the two browns and do a test swatch just to see😂. I love the hardware for the cabinet 😍
Tudor and linen are perfect together. Love your antique furniture/mirror makeovers, and the penny tiles are perfect. Looking good girl. 😁
I like the darker shade of brown. It just looks more elegant for me. The stain you just applied matched it perfectly. Looking forward to see this bathroom finished! ♥️
