DIY Bathroom Ideas: How To Right H5N1 Wrong
Here's the deal. I did tons of difficult operate on this bathroom many-moons ago. I took it from 1980's to 2010-ish past times icon nearly every surface inward sight. It looked thence much better; many of yous sentiment it looked great. BUT, since I alive amongst this bath every unmarried day, a few things started to bother me. And since this is a spider web log nearly the mundane happenings of my house, here's THAT story.
Last calendar week I stopped past times the thrift store. (If you've followed me for awhile, yous know past times forthwith that I become to the thrift shop nearly every bit much every bit I brush my teeth. And I own got only about rather pearly-whites.)
I came dwelling solid amongst three amazing scores. I flora this amazing chandelier that I rehabbed, in addition to thence I flora ii real awesome things that educate me off on a bathroom-mini-makeover.
So, my absolute favorite detect was this antique mitt mirror. My grandmother gave me ane almost just similar it several years ago. It resides on my dresser, in addition to I adore it. So, when I saw this ane at the thrift shop for $11, I yanked it upwards inward warp-speed.
There's thence much full junk at thrift stores, but I ever decease along going dorsum because at that topographic point are treasures to last found, peoples!
The side past times side affair I flora I knew I wanted the infinitesimal I spotted it, but I had no sentiment what I would practise amongst it. It was a silvery framed mirror for $6. I sentiment it was actually pretty, in addition to for $6 yous actually can't miss. And thence I picked it upwards in addition to seat it inward my cart in addition to saw a pottery barn pricetag on it. For $89. Now, I'm certain this affair was in all likelihood from 1998. But, still. You tin flame for certain imagine my encephalon celebration.
And when I brought it dwelling solid in addition to sentiment nearly it for a wee second, I knew. It would become where the 'crappy bath art' used to go.
Here is crappy bath fine art exhibit #1
And forthwith hither is the thrifty PB mirror !
It basically took my bath from 6-year-old-bath-time to normal zone.
Sometimes yous only don't larn it correct on the commencement try.
You may also notice that I got only about fancy novel soft plush grayish bath towels. I own got a bad habit of using my towels every bit drop-cloths when I paint, in addition to it was a necessary upgrade.
And since I grew to loathe that awful youthy-loud-flowery shower curtain, I replaced it amongst a calm, cool, in addition to collected adult version. Welcome Mr. gray, damask, pretty!
Sometimes it's amazing how petty changes tin flame impact how yous experience nearly a room. Isn't the frame on the petty mirror thence dreamy? (For $6, yous amend last shaking your caput inward a yes-direction.)
And I dear how a few fancy accents tin flame totally accept a vanity from plain-jane to luxurious!
In instance yous missed the commencement bathroom-redo post, that small-scale canister in addition to 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 yous who missed the transformation of this bath on the commencement go-round, let's reminisce. Check out how gnarly this bathroom used to last earlier I got my paint-obsessed-little-hands on it!
It is yet only about other illustration of how yous tin flame update your solid amongst only a bucket of pigment in addition to endless hours/patience on your hands! :)
And now, of course, it's latest updo without those awful letters! Again, if I was 6, my advert was Jacob, in addition to I liked to accept a bath, the BATH would last appropriate. But, I'm 29, people telephone telephone me Virginia, in addition to at that topographic point isn't fifty-fifty a bathtub inward this bathroom, thence let's decease along it real. The toddler letters had to GO.
Oh, in addition to ane to a greater extent than teensy fleck of reminiscing. If you're looking for a agency to refresh your GROSS tile grout (I'm no stranger to disgusting grout), I flora a pretty proficient solution, in addition to I totally restored my tile grout. You tin flame detect all the gritty details here.
Here's a petty grout-restoring-proof for ya!
Not bad, eh?
So, forthwith I'll larn out yous amongst a petty peek out into my bedroom, which is what I encounter everytime I'm drying off my hiney....with ane of my novel luxurious non-paint-coated towels. :)
Thanks for listening to me ramble, in addition to for caring nearly all of the ridiculously mundane details of my bathroom!
