Update: we finally finished the main bathroom.
Before:
After:
Of course, I am very pleased,
but let’s get this out of the way before I share more:
I know it skews granny, but I don’t care!
I love it!
That gingham wallpaper is tres awesome, don’tcha think?
I found it at a garage sale last summer. $5. 2 rolls. Yay!
The hook rack for our towels was an old window or door top:
Notice the buttery accents (yum!) that tie the room together:
My sister, Kathy, made that (called a “pineapple”) ornament:
We bought the vanity/marble top + sink set from Menards.
I purchased the cross-handle (my fave) faucet online,
probably from Signature Hardware:
And now, check out my crazy splurge:
Yeah, that’s right.
I actually paid $50 to have this way-cool flush handle on our toilet!
Speaking of price tags, I can’t remember what I paid for this enamel tissue bin:
Our more modestly priced, vintage-style medicine cabinet is from Home Depot:
It’s been such a long time ago, I can’t remember where I got our pendant lights.
Aren’t they cute?
Meanwhile, this style of awesome wall-mounted mirror is usually $100+:
Ours came from IKEA + cost less than $10!
It’s nice + heavy + does not look or feel cheapie in any way. So get one.
We use this vintage black cabinet for storage:
G.O. found it at an antiques mall — score!
I was going to strip its runny black paint job + re-paint it white,
after which I would stencil a large red cross on the door.
(Betcha I never do, but stay tuned! Youneverknow!)
Enough about that — now let’s view my beloved plates:
I have been trying but failing to find the perfect spot to hang them,
but I just couldn’t commit.
After the wallpaper went up in the bathroom, that was it, for me:
They’re perfect!
And finally, looking down, we spy my beloved tile floor!
I’ve always loved this style of floor tile — it’s so vintage!
We searched + searched for it without success,
but I finally found it on Amazon.
Who knew?
Our tub + shower surround subway tile was from Home Depot.
That tile surrounding the window was quite an accomplishment,
if I do say so.
Thanks (again), Pinterest!
You’ve always come through for me when I needed help!
The good news is that even G.O. loves our new bathroom!
Earlier this morning, he said, without being prompted at all,
“That bathroom is really the star, isn’t it?”
Thanks for reading!
