BATH WEEK: BEFORE AND AFTER OF A GRACIOUS GREY SMALL BATHROOM!

September 3, 2009

I very much fancy this recently remodeled tiny maid’s bathroom from the home of the talented Tom Newman of Newman & Wolen Design architectual firm in Los Angeles. Love Tom’s work in general and adore what he did to this small bath on the first floor of his grand home.

This little bath is inviting, cool and charming! The remodel introduced marble mosaic floors, a stand alone traditional tub, wainscoting and vintage light fixtures into the room. These elements came together to create a chic bath with a fresh combination of stylish time-honored classic design ideas.

Hope this inspires!

Thank you Tom and Ricky for allowing me to take photos in your home!

    I prefer the prior sink. The new one seems to jut out into the space too far.
    The floor tiles and chandelier are lovely. Did the maid stay on with the new design? 🙂

    Beautiful bathroom and a MASSIVE improvement!! I’ll never understand why people put carpet in bathrooms. It’s just plain icky!!

    The chandelier is really pretty and unique, and I like the grey wainscoting around the room.

    I LOVE it! I’m thinking of doing my bathroom gray- any chance you would tell me the name of the paint color on the wainscoating?

    I love everything about this room – can you share the wainscotting paint color and where you got the vanity and mirror?

    Any idea where they found Carrara tile with such beautiful dark veins? Everything I’ve seen looks much more washed out. Fantastic makeover. 🙂

Today is my birthday but...I don’t want to celeb Today is my birthday but...I don’t want to celebrate...I want to help.
I want to make a meaningful impact in our greater Los Angeles community suffering from the fires. I invite you to join me in transforming birthday wishes into support for one local organization on the ground in Pasadena/Altadena.
I have made a contribution today already to the LA Fire Relief Fund created by @victorybiblechurch in Pasadena. They are actively assisting families in need in both Pasadena and Altadena who have been affected by the devastating Eaton Fire.
Although I don't have a personal connection to Pastor DeCuir or the church, I was searching for an organization that is helping in the Altadena area. A well respected civil rights attorney I follow @leemerrittesq is on the ground helping the church members and community members with legal services in the wake of the fires. I hope by contributing to their efforts, we can extend a helping hand to those facing significant challenges during this difficult time
To donate, please visit their website at https://vbcpasadena.org/ (link in bio as well). Every contribution, no matter the size, brings hope and relief to those who need it most. Tell them you heard about them from me.
Your generosity to the Los Angeles community is the best birthday gift I could ask for.

Happy New Year! 🎉✨ As we step into this freshHappy New Year! 🎉✨ As we step into this fresh chapter, I’m reminded of the beauty of starting anew and I like recommitting to goals at the top of the year. Nothing set in stone but just an overall vision of what I'd like to do and who I would hope to help along the way.
This year, my mantra is: **dream big, act boldly, treasure the small joys, continue to lead with kindness and to have as much empathy as possible for others **. Just a few things...😂
I’m also deeply committed to helping people who follow along to achieve their dreams. I'll be curating captivating interior design inspiration with COCOCOZY that will hopefully give you ideas and dreams for your own space. I will also be empowering you to realize the value of your influence with Chirpyest by earning cash back for sharing and shopping. I hope to be open about the journey of the COCOCOZY product line. I want to share real time behind the scenes how the line is being built and how we are growing Chirpyest; both examples of the not so linear journey of building businesses from the ground up. I hope these stories spark you to push your own boundaries and shake out of your comfort zones.
Lastly, in 2025, I’m committed to surrounding myself with people who have a positive vibe about them while striving to be that same light for others. Luckily, I have a great start on this with an amazing family and fantastic group of friends - a fantastic support network.
My wish for you in 2025: May this year bring you clarity, courage, and the confidence to pursue all that makes you happy.
What’s one thing you’re committing to in 2025? Let’s inspire each other in the comments! 💬❤️
Let's get to this...am ready 2025!
