I bought my first home (well, townhome) in November and have been decorating ever since! I have loved this part of the home buying experience! I have been wanting to share what I have done (so far) for a long time now and FINALLY got around to taking some pictures! Up first is my bathroom. It was a horrible tannish shade and blah, bland, boring. I couldn't wait to fix it up.

The light fixture always reminded me of Seasame Street. Remember the lamp post with the big balls? Haha. And I always wanted a chandelier in my bathroom (although I was figuring I would have a bigger bathroom with the chandelir hanging over the tub... that will come someday :)) so I got this cute little on at IKEA. And changed out the mirror. Mirror is also from IKEA....everything pretty much is.

New Sink. It is kinda narrow and trough like.

I picked a pretty aquaish blue color. Nice and calming. I had the paint chip sitting around forever and of course when I want to know the name of the paint I can't find the chip!!

I have a nice bit of storage now in this pretty small bathroom.

And of COURSE new flooring. Nice sticky vinyl titles from Lowes. Cheap but looks really good! And I bought that shower curtain well over a year ago on clearance at Target and was just waiting for the day to finally put it in a new bathroom! :)
*LOVE* it!! that chandelier is fantastic! wow, you did a great job! :)
ReplyDeleteI love your bathroom!! We are in the process of redecorating ours*ish - we are in rented accomodation and the floors were blue lined lino and yellow walls... I hated it!! So got two coats of white paint on the wall and a picture up but need shelves etc to tie everything in. Great inspiration for storage! I hope youre proud :)
ReplyDeleteVery nice work! What a transformation!
ReplyDeleteI love the chandelier! I was just blogging about moving to a new home and decorating....and guess what colour I picked! Why don't you drop by and have a look? :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, everyone! :) It was a fun process! Now on to the rest of the house!!
ReplyDeleteI love the narrow sink. Pretty color too!
ReplyDeleteLove the chandelier! It just glams up the bathroom perfectly! I want to put one in our upstairs bath over the clawfoot tub! Fun!
ReplyDeleteAubrey... I would love to someday have a bigger chandelier over a much BIGGER bathtub :) That is what I am aiming for!
ReplyDeleteSal... Thanks for the nomination! :)
