Teacups in the Garden

• Nov. 20, 2007 - Master Bathroom Remodel

Posted in House Remodel

The other night, dh told me the bathroom was complete and ready for me to decorate! 

Panning around with my camera, here's the shower...

Here's the shower curtain.  I was going to buy some sheets to make this, but decided to special order it ready made.  I am shocked at how short it is!  Hmmmmm, one of these days I think I'll drive dh nuts and sew a little black gingham below the toile!  oo-la-la  ;)

 DH didn't want typical bathroom rugs...so I found these chenille rugs.  They are so soft and cozy on the bare feet!

See the bathroom scale in the upper right corner of the picture above?  DH wanted a new bathroom scale, one that talks!  Well, I didn't find one of those...but this one should keep him busy...it displays not only weight, but also...well, the instructions don't make any sense to me...what does the box say?  Let's see, it also measures body water!  And it even has an athlete mode for highly fit individuals....hmmmm, I might not get to use that feature!    It also has a terrific memory, storing data for up to 6 people!  DH and DS had sooooo much fun setting it up!  It may take me years to figure this baby out!

Here's the vanity.  There are medicine cabinets behind each mirror.  We have more storage now and of course there isn't enough room on my side for my stuff, and I took an extra middle drawer.  DH is so sweet to let me use the rest of the space under his sink. First I'll wait to see if it stays dry tonight!  ;)

Here's a close up of the flowers...

The kids just loved watching me put this arrangement together...

The kids were enamored with all the seashells...

Here's the picture near dh's side of the sink.  There's a tea party set out on the tables.  Hmmmm, I think I could hang out here for a week and rest up...

  Here's the new cabinet he built for me.  I changed my mind on a lot of stuff to put here.  This will be a work in progress. 

Here's a close up of more seashells.  I have some seashells left over, but not enough to fill the other 2 containers I had gotten.  I think now that would be too much.  Just as well.  I will put some of the extras in the kids' bathroom.  They are elated!  Oh, I'll have to show their bathroom off one of these days. That is a fun room!  I am thinking I might even make some decorative arrangements in frames with some of the seashells for some of the bare spots in the bathroom.  Hmmmmmm......  

Here's a floral arrangement I bought at Coldwater Creek at their 50% off sale last month.  In fact,  a lot of these items were on sale when I got them.  

Practically speaking, hmmmm, I need to put a trash bag in here...

But my favorite practical thing, the tp container in the back corner!  Hmmmm, any leaks back there?

Well, dh successfully took the first shower.  I think it's my turn for a lovely bubble bath!  =)

About Me

Gardens thrill my soul. My senses awaken, my soul is refreshed, my mood calms down...and if given time for quiet ponder, I've enjoyed the sound of buzzing bees while collecting pollen, the delightful croak of shy Mr. Toad, the exuberant flutter a hummingbird near my face thanking me for scrumptious flowers, and the gentle touch of the butterfly who settles on my shoulder. I've been known to walk into the house with my hair showered in lavender crepe myrtle blossoms and my clothes covered in blue plumbago blooms. Picture a rustic wrought iron bistro set with floral cushions and gingham pillows under a crepe myrtle dripping in blooms. I've set out some tea. Come and sit with me while I catch you up on the latest of the happenings in my family. Welcome to my garden.
