Met Monday - Bathroom Makeover, Part 2

• 
  
• Good Monday Morning To You
• Sweet Friends,

Hope you all had a dandy weekend!!

Our's was very restful after the draining week we had,

and that was just what the Dr. ordered.  We really

didn't do much of anything, but exercise and watch

movies,  make breakfast on Saturday morning and

go to church on Sunday, and talk, talk, talk!!  lol

We watched "Fireproof" on Friday with Dee and

Jerry,  and Saturday we watched "Dear God".

They were both good movies.

Emotions have died down some, and things are slowly

getting back to normal, work is in progress, much talking,

  and much solution seeking...........very good things 

are happening!

So we are praising the Lord for his goodness

and his wonderful answers to prayer.

Figured I had better finish showing you the rest

of our bathroom makeover since it has been

a few weeks now!

 These first 3 pictures are of the old look!

I really loved this wallpaper...........and sort of

hated to see it go,  but new it was time since

it was starting to peel in places!!  lol

and now, of course,  I am really happy about that,

cause I really love our new look!!

These are mirror closet doors across from the vanity, in case

you are trying to figure it out!!

All the pictures below show the new look!

The door on the right is a walk in closet,  the door

on the left (a pocket door) goes into our water closet

 where there the newly tiled shower and potty are......

Here it is with the door open.

I used some of the same plates I used in the

water closet area to tie it together,  and then

the white shadow boxes someone gave me

a few years back.

The hook on the door has proved to be a good idea,

and a big help,  more room for towels and  also 

added a touch of color.

The vanity area,  I put some "Old English Scratch Cover"

on my cabinets and it made them look brand new,

 then added new handles.

You will notice in other pictures that they mimic the shape

of our lighting fixtures.  We really liked that!

Because of the colors I wanted to use it was difficult to find

 bathroom accessories in those colors,  but I happened on

these with dragon flys and butterflys at where else,

 Home Goods..... and loved them, so that sort of set

 the tone for the room.

Never would have thought of picking that,  but like it

very much now!

Notice the light fixtures and the handles on the 

cabinets now???  Light fixtures came from

Lowes,  and the handles from Target and

were very reasonably priced.

We were shocked at how much wider the

dressing room looked with the square mirrors.

Mirrors came from Kirklands, a great sale find

months in advance.

The floral arrangement is done in what should

have been a ceramic trash can,  figured it 

might get broken on the floor anyway

 We added chrome towel holders (from Walmart) on each

 side and accidentally found these dragon flys that you

just push pin to the wall at Bed, Bath and Beyond.

Thought they were the perfect finishing touch.

 Almost looks like an arrangement for a wedding,

but was working with no budget at the time.

Thank the Lord we had bought everything we

needed to finish.... just before hubby was laid off.

So may change it up.... if I get a clever idea sometime.

 Same pic as above but it has a watercolor, underpainting 

and equalized affect from photoshop.

Love to see the difference in pictures when

you add these affects,  really enjoyed how it

came out,  so thought you might like it too!

This is a rough pastel and posterized affect!

Aren't they fun!!

Don't quite know why this looks so dark,  but liked

the look since it was different.

Also found this canvas painting at Bed, Bath

and Beyond as well.  My daughter said she

thinks it looks beachy.  I liked it cause I was

going for a more simple and modern look.

I love this picture, it is like an optical illusion............

This wall is straight across from the vanity

and is next to the mirror closet doors, 

very small wall,  but just looked too bare,

so put the smaller cubes there and 2 of

the lil dragon fly ceramic boxes in there.

Good place to keep my cotton balls.

Also don't know if you noticed we also

painted the trim around the doors white

to get rid of some of the dark wood.

After 30 years I am a bit tired of it.

This is on the opposite side of the mirrored doors.

Box of dove soap on top with a dragonfly

I have 3 small arrangement like this one

 in the water closet area.  So another tie in.

Just a fun shot of between the mirrors .

and then..................

a new photoshop affect....rough pastels with a gradient affect

 of metal.  Thought it looked pretty neat!!

We have been enjoying our finished bathroom for over

a year now.  We actually finished it 2 weeks after my

hubby was laid off last year.  Still loving it!!

Thanks for coming by,  hope you 

enjoyed your visit, and that you

 will come again soon!
