It's taken me a while, but I finally got our master bath updated! Yay!
I started quite a few months ago. I painted and added the board and batten. But then like many other projects, I lost momentum.
Last week when I made the chevron art, it gave me the jump start I needed to finish everything.
I framed out the giant (b o r i n g) builders mirror.
I love the cute little soap dispenser from Target! The tiered storage thingy I made from plates. In the spirit of keeping it real, I didn't move the tons of meds my family is on right now to combat their allergies.
Around the corner is an alcove for the toilet. I used the towel storage bar to hang my flat irons from S hooks, some jewelry and hair bands. The storage chest is a redo of a thrift store find. The little angel is from my mom for my birthday (this weekend = par-tay!! I love my birthday!) The clock is from TJ Maxx.
The chest of drawers is a Craigslist purchase that I repainted in homemade chalk paint. I also painted the handles with black spray paint.
When we moved into our house about 8 years ago, we didn't have a lot of money and I didn't know a lot about home design. So we outfitted all of our windows with cheap vinyl blinds. I am now on a mission to get rid of all of them. In my bathroom, I still needed the privacy that blinds provide, but I wanted something much better looking and that would move up and down to let in natural light. Making roman shades from the blinds was the perfect solution. I got the idea from here. I took a few photos of the process and will post that soon.
The blue tray on top of the dresser is a thrift store find that I painted and shabbied up with some sandpaper. It holds apothecary jars full of cotton swabs and balls and a silver plate holding my current fragrances. The lacey flower pot is from IKEA.
-photo bomb by my son: he kept putting his hands into the picture.
For art, I framed a piece of scrapbook paper.
These little wooden plaques are from Walmart. They were total steals at $3.97!!! One is under the framed scrapbook paper. The other is by the clock.
For the shower, I used a shower curtain that used to be in my kids' bathroom.
I also used our old shower curtain hooks.
Here is what the bathroom looked like when I first started.
And here it is now!
