Bathroom Touches

Our master bathroom is the one and only room in our whole house that has kept it’s wall color for over five years! I believe it has been “shiloh blue” for almost eight years! I just haven’t grown tired of the bluish, grayish, oceany color…

 

I have dreams of someday giving this bathroom a major makeover, complete with a claw foot tub, bead board and hardwood flooring, but for now I need to stick with just adding a few touches here and there. This winter I made a divider between the tub and toilet and put shelves in. I also hung some jar lanterns above the bath tub. Here is a “before” picture…

 

Before…

 

After…

 

Here’s a step by step on the lanterns…

 

First I poked a hole in the center of a jar lid.

 

Next I straightened a paper clip, folded it in half and stuck it through the hole.

 

Then I bent the ends apart. I also cut a few holes in the lid for ventilation.  After painting the lids and rings they were ready to hang!

I also needed to do something with the window so I added shutters and a curtain. Here’s the “before”…

The window frame was the last orange thing in this house to be painted. I think we are officially orange oak free!

I picked up a dozen or so shutters at a garage sale a few years ago and decided to try them for the bathroom…

 

I applied a coat of gray paint first and topped with white so when I distressed them they looked weathered…

 

 

I also made some homemade bath salts and beads that are on the shelf…

 

 

Some more touches…

 

 

 

Thanks for visiting!
