Bathroom Tour

A little tour of a little room....

I have featured my 

chalkboard wall on my blog 

before and a little bit 

about this space, 

but thought I'd give

 you more of a tour....

The lighting is a little off...

but I painted the walls 

a medium toned green...mistake paint...

my favorite kind of paint

$8 a gallon

from a thrift store.

I have a plain shower curtain to use 

because this bathroom has 

already been 

7 colors in 5 years...

The window treatment

is a vintage tablecloth

folded and hanging over a

drapery rod. 

The greens are clippings from a 

tree in my yard...

great way to 

feel like you have fresh flowers

but at no cost!

A vintage painting and 

thrift store frame

add the view this 

bathroom is missing....

hung on the chalkboard wall.

You can also see the 

original wall tile

and towel holders.

They were sprayed and recoated 

in white by the

previous owners. 

 Love yellow and green together 

so the window treatment and the 

towels bring in the yellow

 to go with the green 

on the wall.

A vintage wall lamp...

there is an overhead light, 

but I love soft 

lighting options in every room.

Carrera marble for the vanity top 

ties in the marble floors I 

added 5 years ago.

The mirror is decoupaged 

in newspaper. 

The soap dispenser is an old Avon 

lotion dispenser.

The black box stores toothbrushes.

The vintage table has 

the perfect opening for 

towel storage

and a drawer for 

other essentials...

It a tight bathroom so I 

have to use all space in a 

functioning and decorative way...

always my goal in any space.

 My daughter's step stool adds

a little touch of green 

and tucks away 

perfectly under the window.

I changed the knobs on the 

vanity to colored glass

to disguise the Home depot

look it had before.

The wall color shows up a 

little better in this photo.

 A sisal rug is a nice 

earthy touch for the room...

wanted something less 

predictable for the rug. 

Overall...I wanted to make this space feel original... yet updated.

  

I tried to accomplish this by

adding vintage furniture and accessories

 to marry with the look 

of the original tile,

adding small tile which is 

the size it would have been originally,

and blending old with new all

the way through.
