Bathroom Re-Do (06.03.10)

Instead of folding the laundry, like I should be, I wanted to post a few pictures of my newly re-done guest bathroom. The make over has quickly made it one of my favorite rooms in the house. I sort of wish I had done it in the master bath instead. I got the inspiration from a show in HGTV (I can't remember which one, I watch that channel for hours on end sometimes) but they were re-doing a deck to make it an outside bedroom. They used a deep gray and wood accents and I fell in love. I had been trying to work with a shower curtain I had already purchased but couldn't find a color that would go with it. So I nixed the curtain and started from scratch. Once I had my color, gray, I then found a shower curtain on one of the many craft blogs I stalk, and the wheels started turning. I wanted to do a "spa-like" theme. Not a cheesy one with shells and candles galore, but a toned down classy spa theme. The finished project turned out just how I had imagined it in my head, which is always an accomplishment, and I love it!

Before.

After!

I went ahead and took a chance and painted the molding too.

Jordan switched out the light fixture and we got rid of the apartment-ish one.

And that chrome apatment-ish light fixture got a fresh coat of paint and a new life as a candle holder for the back of the toilet.

My mom worked her little fingers to the bone to make this beautiful ruffled shower curtain for me. Who knew muslin would be such as pain to work with??

Another idea I grabbed from a blog that grabbed it from pottery barn. Numbered jars with the essentials for guests, cotton balls and Q-tips. And some sea shells from Cancun.

The finishing touch to the bathroom. A Book Page Wreath and wall art that I actually thought up all on my own. No stealing from blogs this time!

Up close and personal.

So that's the tour of the new bathroom folks
