Nothin' like having your DR ceiling cave in from a leak in the upstairs bathroom floor to start an unplanned renoventure! Our house was built in 1903 so nothing is easy. The homeowners insurance gal said they will pay to have everything taken out so we could replace the subfloor and tile and they will pay those same people to put everything back in the exact same order! Since the current floor plan was not workin' said total reno took over.
Before
After!
I am still looking for a clever way to corral the shampoos etc. but it is all about layering so when I find the right thing(s), I'll let ya' know! I can never, and I mean never, find curtains/shower curtains that I like or are in my price range,plus I wanted and extra long shower curtain so I made this one. Used a table cloth on the top turned length wise and sewed a leftover curtain section to the bottom, added some brown ribbon and Waa Laa! I am thinking of painting a pattern on the tablecloth portion and if I do, like I said, I'll let ya' know!
The vanity is an old bureau that I found at the sidewalk shop, my huuzzband calls this trash picking. I call it re-posh-turing!
Super cool, mid-century style that I love
but look how you can take it back a few more years to Art Deco with a little bit of paint dark brown paint and some Buff 'n' Rub in silver leaf. I mixed some black and brown paint I already had to get the deep brown that I was going for so I can't tell you the color. I call it Custom Kim. I also added four coats of poly to protect the top.
QUICK TIP: Save money by buying smaller mirrors/medicine cabinets and make them muy grande by framing them with paint. I painted a 5 inch Custom Kim brown border around the opening of the cabinet and then added a 1 inch green strip about it. Just cuz!
Love the details!
Art Deco knobs -Home Depot, they match my lights!
Candle wall: Would have loved to do the whole wall with these lights but that might have freaked out the Mister a bit, something about needing a fire extinguisher in the bathroom if I did this. Since red does not fit into this design aesthetic, 9 candles it was!
