Home ownership brings along many projects. It always amazes me when you move into a home that you think is perfect, to find out you change everything about it.
We have made many changes in our home & next on the demand list is the upstairs bathroom. It is one ugly room with a blue tub, blue tiled walls and flowered wall paper. Not the cute kind but the acid trip 70's style. So soon enough we will embark on a new venture.
A small sampling of it's hideousness.
In the meantime I will share with you my inspiration.
Simple fabric project can turn a plain white shower curtain into the main element in a bathroom.
How vertical & horizontal stripes can work together.
Love how a simple white sink can spruce up a laminate counter top.
Bringing in small splashes of pink can add a feminine touch with out being over the top.
In smaller bathrooms don't be afraid to splurge a little on the flooring.
There is no set rule that says you have to buy a standard vanity from a big box store. Make your statement piece out of an old antique dresser.
Think out of the box.
For about $70, you can change a plain white sink into something a little more custom looking.
For about 135.00 you can grab this fun faucet.
Fun splashes of blue for a beachy look & Board and Batten planked walls for texture.
Add personal touches like a chandelier or flowers.
You don't have to limit yourself to cupboards & towel racks.
Adding chair rails can break up bold colors and give visual interest to boring walls.
Don't be afraid to make fun lighting choices. Outdoor lighting in a splash of red.
Or in galvanized metal for $35 at barnlightelectric
Make it fun for the kids & give them a number.
Search salvage yards for unique pieces.
Vintage finds are so Divine with a splash of blue:)
Hope you are feeling inspired today:)
Nice bathrooms. Have fun re-doing yours! I have that faucet in the kids' bathroom.
