Bathroom Remodel

So I finally found all the bathroom pictures before it became what it is today!


Lovely blue, don't you think.... notice the tile floor....... 
it began sinking one day.
The bathroom was last on my list of re-dos and quickly became number one!


See where the towels are....to the right of that was this....


There was another sink in the corner, a really little sink.
Groovy floor....
 and notice the pretty clouds on the wall.....?

 You had to step up to this area.
I'm 5'7 and was a little claustrophobic.
It became wasted space.
I never went in there.

So anyway on to the great floor cave in!!!!


Well, well what a surprise.......the floor was made out of Highway signs......
Really old Highway signs!  Like from the 60's.
 These suckers were made of thick wood and were really heavy.

But they were no match for a leaky pipe under the tub.


Yep, Highway signs.
And look at the lovely floor that was under the tile....
it just got better and better!

I had to have the whole floor torn up. 
Since there is just a creepy crawl space under my house it was dirt, the ground
 under the "use what you have and make it work" highway signs.


And today..............





And yes I have a thing about mirrors......
not so I'm able to look at myself everywhere I turn, 

I just like mirrors.
Over the years I have collected quite a few.







I sure do love my bathroom!!!!

Decorating - Bathroom

The one thing I am most proud of in my house is my bathroom make over!
Especially my sink.
I wanted to take an antique dresser and make a vanity out of it.  Unfortunately the space for my sink is really small and I could never find anything that fit.

So one night it came to me.....

For starters I don't have a before picture....don't yell at me 
I HATED my vanity.
If we work together I'm sure you can picture it in your mind.

Fake wood, light brown, one of those fake marble tops with a built in sink
.......wait for it......
 shaped like a shell!
Lovely!  
They, the people who lived there before me had replaced the facets with fancy ones.  The only problem they have gold in them. 
Not a big fan of gold.



This is a before photo of the bathroom.
The vanity was the color of that really super, nice toilet seat.



DAAAA TAAAA this is my vanity today.
Still a work in progress as you can see by the wall....

I kept the same vanity and painted it white, added some scratched edges and replaced the top with piece of wood I found in my shed.  

The sink I got at Habitat for Humanity.  
Fair trade......
I gave them the fake marble lovely shell and I purchased this for $15.00!!
Besides, one woman's hate it is another woman's love it!
I know my shell sink found a happy home.



Now this where I amazed myself.....the back wood piece... left over molding from the floor!  
I just cut and glued it on....but not before adding......


This little decorative piece I bought a at Home Depot!
How clever am I !!!!  
As far as the facet you can see the gold around the H and the C but I'm living with it right now because those gadgets are $$$$$ and I am on a budget!


And one more thing, see my awesome toilet paper holder....
Unscrewed that from a wall of a house that was being tore down!
I love it !
