Ladies, wish I had a before picture but I had drabby dark sheers up covering the pretty windows, I had dusty woodwork and blah carpets.

So, one day I said that's IT my favorite part of the house was the bathroom when I bought it however I NEVER did anything with it. So....here it is.

I went to Home Goods and grabbed this beautiful Orchid ($19.95) glass jar that I filled with bath salts ($5.99) and treated myself to a humidor that I always wanted from Smith and Hawken ($85.00 with rocks and plant)

Then I took another trip back to Home goods and grabbed this print (matching one with similiar Ginko Biloba) print each (25.00) Also went to Lowes and grabbed these FAUX wooden shutters. LOVE THEM. SO much more light! Shutters ($100.00)

Then, replaced the yucky faucets with new old fashioned style ones that say "HOT COLD" on the top on each sink (faucet 120.00 each) and purchased two crome/glass jars from Home Goods at ($15.00 for both) Took the old carpet and replaced it with this beautiful SOFT carpet from Bed Bath and Beyond (80.00 but I used a credit I had)

This is matching print and 2 spa towels from Bed Bath & Beyond for ($10.00)

Making my grand total design on a dime for $526.00!! Sounds like a lot for a bathroom but I did it over time. I did the faucets first. Waited a few months and grabbed the accesories. Then, I waited till next paycheck to grap the towels and carpet. How did I do???

wicked pretty! my favorite bits are the Ginko Biloba print and the colors on the carpet



:) It looks clean and relaxing....


the only suggestion i'd make (and i don't mean it as a criticism) is to change out the brass doorknob for a chrome one ;)

Thank you!

By the way, my grout is in bad shape. It's gotton so dirty and I've already asked hubby to regrout once and he HATED IT. I saw on HSN one time this roll on grout color/sealer and BOOM, instant white grout and then you go back over and seal it. It looked amazing. Anyone have any tips?? Experience with this?

It's amazing what a little lift will do. I always said, I'll get to it but never did. FINALLLY just a little bit at a time and then it's my favorite room. The problem?

We're looking to move soon. Go figure.
