Done in a Day- Cottage bathroom.

The old look-

 

The New Look-

The New Look-

Thanks to "used" accessories from the "Hamlet" this  look was pulled together, I laid everything I thought would look good together on the floor in the bedroom...then just picked which items I thought would work.

• New- chair from Pier1, light fixture and curtains from Ikea {the chair was their showroom model so I got it at a discount price.}
• Old-  everything else....baskets, frames, rugs, mirror....painted white.... well all the accessories.

How it was pulled together-

This chair was my inspiration- 

• The creamy white background is the color {Swiss Coffee} that I used on the walls-
• Continuing with the theme-the chair made me think "botanical".....so

Using an old book that I had....I pulled  some pictures from it to frame and use in the room. I picked mostly all green with a touch of deep red...again pulling from a color in the chair.

The framed botanical go all the way around the room at the same height. {I haven't finished the "toilet" side of the room yet, I needed three more frame, {guess I have to buy them =)....pictures on that later

• Open up spaces- I love opened cabinets....so I took off the lower cabinet doors and added dark black baskets for hidden storage..

Talk about open spaces-

When we took down the old mirror....this is what we found.   You never know what you will find in this old house. {Ruth came to help =)

 

• The mirror came from the "hamlet".... it was the one hanging over the toilet area...painted it white, now this is it's new home.
• The light fixture came from Lowe's....it is hard to tell what it looks like with the light on....the first picture of the makeover you can see it a little better.  Basically it's silver with square glass vases.

Basically in a day it went from this.....to this

{curtains from Ikea...white Swiss dot.  They had tab tops...I didn't really care for the tab top so I had Ruth just fold them over and sew them to the top hem....added bonus... by doing that when we put them on the rod....it gave a nice little  look to the tops of the curtains....thanks Ruth.}

To this-

We started around 9:30am and finished by noon.  I had painted the day before...but it only took 3 hours. In less than 8 hours.... my Green Cottage bath....gets a New Look-

Other fun details-

 

 

 

 

 

This little beauty is built into the wall...it's a old toothbrush holder. 

With a stainless steal cup.

It flips closed, and is hidden in the wall.

 

 

 

 

 

 

When trying to find a little table to put next to this chair...I was finally able to use this little stool....I think it came from an old ice-cream place {that's what I like to think anyways. =) 

There you have it...

Beautifully done...I love the clean feel...you can almost feel the gentle breeze. The danger...you might never come out of the bathroom!

Just a breath of beauty. There is nothing I don't like. One of my favorites? Ruth's pink socks! :) Once again...lovely Teresa.

It looks so beautiful! I love the *inspiration* chair -- what a cool idea. Wow, you painted the bathroom in 3 hours? I must be a slug when it comes to painting because it took me 3 days to paint our guest bath! :)

Wow looks good, boy your good at seeing things and making them look beautiful, I would have cried when I seen the green tile and wouldn't know what to do, but look what you did you made it all look so beautiful.

I love vintage tile bathrooms. People need to see more makeovers like this. I get so upset when I see vintage tile ripped out when all they needed to do was get creative and accessorize like you did. The character of this bathroom is so wonderful and you made it the best it could be. So much better than granite or slate....give me vintage tile!

[wendy]
