Here's the deal. I did tons of difficult run on this bathroom many-moons ago. I took it from 1980's to 2010-ish yesteryear ikon almost every surface inward sight. It looked thus much better; many of you lot stance it looked great. BUT, since I alive alongside this bath every unmarried day, a few things started to bother me. And since this is a weblog almost the mundane happenings of my house, here's THAT story.
Last calendar week I stopped yesteryear the thrift store. (If you've followed me for awhile, you lot know yesteryear directly that I teach to the thrift shop almost equally much equally I brush my teeth. And I possess got or thus rather pearly-whites.)
I came habitation alongside iii amazing scores. I constitute this amazing chandelier that I rehabbed, together with thus I constitute two real awesome things that ready me off on a bathroom-mini-makeover.
So, my absolute favorite detect was this antique mitt mirror. My grandmother gave me 1 almost precisely similar it several years ago. It resides on my dresser, together with I adore it. So, when I saw this 1 at the thrift shop for $11, I yanked it upward inward warp-speed.
There's thus much full junk at thrift stores, but I ever leave of absence on going dorsum because at that spot are treasures to endure found, peoples!
The side yesteryear side affair I constitute I knew I wanted the infinitesimal I spotted it, but I had no stance what I would practise alongside it. It was a silverish framed mirror for $6. I stance it was actually pretty, together with for $6 you lot actually can't miss. And thus I picked it upward together with set it inward my cart together with saw a pottery barn pricetag on it. For $89. Now, I'm certain this affair was in all probability from 1998. But, still. You tin sure imagine my encephalon celebration.
And when I brought it habitation together with stance almost it for a wee second, I knew. It would teach where the 'crappy bath art' used to go.
Here is crappy bath fine art exhibit #1
And directly hither is the thrifty PB mirror !
It basically took my bath from 6-year-old-bath-time to normal zone.
Sometimes you lot simply don't teach it correct on the commencement try.
You may also notice that I got or thus fancy novel soft plush grayish bath towels. I possess got a bad habit of using my towels equally drop-cloths when I paint, together with it was a necessary upgrade.
And since I grew to abhor that awful youthy-loud-flowery shower curtain, I replaced it alongside a calm, cool, together with collected adult version. Welcome Mr. gray, damask, pretty!
Sometimes it's amazing how piddling changes tin impact how you lot experience almost a room. Isn't the frame on the piddling mirror thus dreamy? (For $6, you lot amend endure shaking your caput inward a yes-direction.)
And I beloved how a few fancy accents tin totally possess got a vanity from plain-jane to luxurious!
In instance you lot missed the commencement bathroom-redo post, that pocket-size canister together with lather holder were also thrift shop finds. The canister was existent silver, too. Not that I care...I would sport a newspaper plate lather holder if the cost was right, but hey, extra bonus points on a worthy thrift shop find!
So, now, for those of you lot who missed the transformation of this bath on the commencement go-round, let's reminisce. Check out how gnarly this bathroom used to endure earlier I got my paint-obsessed-little-hands on it!
It is yet or thus other instance of how you lot tin update your describe solid alongside simply a bucket of pigment together with endless hours/patience on your hands! :)
And now, of course, it's latest updo without those awful letters! Again, if I was 6, my get upward was Jacob, together with I liked to possess got a bath, the BATH would endure appropriate. But, I'm 29, people telephone phone me Virginia, together with at that spot isn't fifty-fifty a bathtub inward this bathroom, thus let's leave of absence on it real. The toddler letters had to GO.
Oh, together with 1 to a greater extent than teensy flake of reminiscing. If you're looking for a means to refresh your GROSS tile grout (I'm no stranger to disgusting grout), I constitute a pretty adept solution, together with I totally restored my tile grout. You tin detect all the gritty details here.
Here's a piddling grout-restoring-proof for ya!
Not bad, eh?
So, directly I'll leave of absence you lot alongside a piddling peek out into my bedroom, which is what I come across everytime I'm drying off my hiney....with 1 of my novel luxurious non-paint-coated towels. :)
Thanks for listening to me ramble, together with for caring almost all of the ridiculously mundane details of my bathroom!
