Picture Perfect Progress-

I am working on our bathroom—giving it a ‘lifestyle’ lift. Not even a Face lift—because I don’t have money for new fixtures or anything like that. It’s fun—thinking outside the box; being creative. Coming up with something new with very little resources almost guarantees ‘originality’!  =)

This bathroom has come a long way since we bought out house 16 years ago—I wish I had those pictures! But I don’t so - These are the BEFORE Pictures. I have had the Coca- Cola Theme for almost 8 years!!!!!!!!!!  Sometime in the last month I was playing around with some sticks and twigs and the dresser runner and came up with this little curtain, you know just trying to decide what way I’d like to go from the Cola theme.

The blue paint—I put on the walls last year right around ‘heart attack’ season. I never finished in here.  Since then I’ve decided I didn’t much care for all the blue paint on the walls. I suppose the Gibson Girl—Cola Motif will be leaving too.

The louvered door was a pain to paint—I am not looking forward to painting it again. But, alas—it will be painted.   It is what it is—In all it’s Coca- cola Red and creamy beige and blue walls.   Desperate for an update.

Oh and then there is this…

It doesn’t work …it has had one bulb in it. And it has never EV.ER worked. The lights in this room are attached to a ceiling fan over head…

So—I’ve not done anything great in here except paint so far and hang a new curtain.  The curtain, I bought at Bargain Land—for a couple of bucks. It was a definite change from the Coca- Cola. I think it may still be too much blue. But for now—it is staying until I get the sewing done on a new one!

I liked the twig and dresser runner curtain. So I kept it. I think it looks pretty in here especially now with the new ‘Antique White’ paint.

I’ve primed the shelf over the potty. I’m doing something different with this as well. But the red is gone. I’m glad.

The white makes such a difference in here now. This below was taken when the Sun was setting… I like the feel of it. Yes—I see her…sipping her Coke (and possibly smiling) 

I’m going for an old – I guess , Vintage looking bathroom. Minus the claw-foot tub and pedestal sink.

 

Don’t get me wrong—in the future should the bright blue sky open up and drop an awesome CLAW FOOT TUB into the stream of “Bubble Bath” where it would make it’s way to my humble little privy… I would gladly rip out the small fiberglass model that we are currently the proud owners of—and believe me,  Nobody is happier than I am to have a place to bathe… but a Claw foot tub… Well, that would just be dreamy in my book!

Just so you know--- that from looking at these pictures… I KNOW THAT THIS ROOM isn’t finished yet; …and you know me, I have  a history of not finishing projects (do you do that? I do.)

I splashed paint on the linen cabinet doors!  I also rolled some on the sink base--

Yep! NOW THEY HAVE TO BE DEALT WITH.   I also have other details to finish.  I have the light fixture removed and we have to come up with a solution there.  I’ve got a shower curtain to make—and knick knacks to re-arrange… I’ll share more hopefully later! 

But oh, it will be so lovely. I will enjoy sitting in my tub… amongst the bubbles and relaxing… and sipping on a Coke!

~ As always,

God Bless you and Thanks for reading!
