small details finish the bathroom

I have a thing for details. I think I'm finally done with the bathroom and wanted to share some of these finishing touches with you!

  

Our new full length mirror (even works for James tall self) came from Home Depot

Note the dots around the border

I picked this medicine cabinet for the dots around the edge. This came from Lowes.

The light switch and outlet covers have the dots. These came from Home Depot.

I have fake flowers cause they are low maintenance and I want some color. Flowers are from Craft Warehouse and gifted. Glass is from various garage sales and vintage shops. Creepy toddler painting is from an antique shop in Astoria. Frame is from the Providence Portland Medical Center gift shop.

These belonged to James' mom. I love the packaging

I found this at a super scary junk store on Foster Road. Always go in those. There are treasures!

The door is the original, but we replaced the glass with a custom piece from Gresham Glass 

I love this doorknob! We found it at The Rebuilding Center for $60. The key came from Restoration Hardware and I think we paid $10 for it.

These hooks came from Cargo and were $6.00 each. You may recall that 53 is the Wilson lucky number

This wall is now complete

I just found these at a tiny thrift store in Pacific City. I got them both for $5.00! The frames were gold, so I repainted them black to match the other frames in the room.

I picked up the cabinet from Craigslist for $99

I changed out the knobs with these to sorta match the doorknob

Make up containers with dots. They are from Salvation Army

I found this ship painting in Astoria and repainted the frame black. The mermaid figure I've had for about 15 years, and the whale I found at an antique mall in Springfield. The whale turns around and plays music! It was a splurge at $30 but I had to have it. I like how we have a nautical theme going. If anyone finds a small clock in the shape of a ships wheel, let me know!!

So, that's the bathroom. It's a pretty great place to take a luxurious bubble bath in every day!

and now we have a place for knick knacks!

I felt like the bathroom needed a shelf but I couldn't decide exactly what I wanted. I found a handmade shelf at a antique store for $2.00. I painted it the same gray that I used for the tub and the wall pipe. It turned out like this:

a disaster, and not even a beautiful one

After rethinking the fancy I decided to go for something basic and found one that matches the frame for the newspaper. 

classic!

But, needs a little something....don't you think?

ah, that's better!

Ah, that's better. A few pieces of my milk glass collection and of course I put a (vintage) bird on it!

mirror(s) mirror(s) on the wall

I hung these mirrors in the bathroom today. I've been sidelined with a back injury so have not been able to do the painting I had planned. bummer!

The wall that these mirrors is on will be home to the ladder type towel rack James is building for me.It will look something like this:

I found this here

I'm going to paint mine white....

It will fit perfectly between the wall and the tub- especially since it will be custom made!

ah, there is Penny, our photobombing dog!

touch ups in the bathroom

This morning I decided to complete the touch up painting in the bathroom that I've been meaning to get to for about 11 months. Poor James. This is how he spent is 7am on Saturday:

James in the tub!

whenever I see this paint I think of that song "divine thing" P.S. this is a Portland company. Shop local!

note the dots. It's a a style (design?) element I have throughout the room

bathroom curtain

Since we don't have any neighbors, I'm not very concerned about window coverings. In fact, I'm not into them. I wanna see the great outdoors. Especially when I'm taking a bubble bath! That aside, I felt it was time to put up a simple curtain (we have not simple ceiling and crown molding, so I didn't want the entire room complicated).
I chose muslin fabric because it's super thin and lets the light in. I wanted to have dots, to follow the style element of dots we sorta have going. I could not find any fabric that fit my needs so I decided to paint the curtain myself.
Lotta Jansdotter has a cool book of stencils that I used. It's a quick and easy process:

fabric paint- I mixed black and white for the perfect shade

stenciling happening atop the ironing board

and here it is!

I'm happy with how it turned out and how simple it was to do. Ok, what's next.....
