Bathroom Makeover

It was a lot of work; I'm tired, sore, and a little banged up. When I was ready to throw in the paint brush it was thoughts of your blogs that made me push through. Your inspiration and passion for your own homes kept me going and I am very pleased with the results. Come along for the tour.

The first thing I did (and when I say I did, I mean my younger brother Joey) was to change the light fixture over the vanity.

As landlocked lovers of the ocean, our bathroom is a little oasis where we can soak in the tub and remember past visits and dream of future adventures at the shore.

I chose two shades of aqua for the walls and accent. Once the painting was complete, I was able to move on to the fun stuff.

I painted the mirror the same color as the walls and hot glued seashells and starfish to the outer frame. It adds a lot of interest to an otherwise ordinary mirror.

I found this patio candle holder at Meijer on clearance for $5.00. I hot glued a starfish on the front and placed a striped candle in the middle and filled it part way with sea glass.

I used the lighter aqua in this alcove to lighten it up. I apologize for the lack of lighting. The only natural light comes from inside the tub and I had the shower curtain closed. Want a closer look?

The little watering can was one of my thrifty finds at Goodwill, only $.99. My mother bought the coral on one of our trips to Myrtle Beach many years ago.

This small basket at Walmart for $3.00. I tied an aqua ribbon around it and filled it with seashells that were purchased at auction for $3.00.

Jordan made me this birdhouse for Mother's Day some years back. It is very special to me because he made it and because of the special message on the bottom.



I hope you enjoyed the tour.
