Today I’ve accomplished a little cleaning a little schooling, decorating, ebaying, cooking, and spray painting.
I’ll have to tell you I’m worn out.
We’re all battling a nasty cold here and I’m trying to stay busy so I don’t think about how bad I feel. School was reading and phonics today. That’s all.
My good friend over at Miss A La Mode has been helping me with a little decorating and I’ve almost gotten the guest bath finished.
None of these photos are post processed because, well, I’m just too tired.
But here’s a preview, almost finished, photo gallery.
Anybody have any suggestions?
Here’s the room I painted blue. Love it. Most do or they hate it. Either is ok. I love it. It’s the only blue I have in my house.
My dad made those shelves for me eons ago. I spray painted them. The plate was one of a set of 7 at the thrift store (7 for 1.50). The little basket was .25 cents and the frame (Creative Memories) I already had. The paper in the frame was .35 cents and the pictures I already had. It needs something a little more but I’ll find that later. The basket of towels I already owned and the fringe on the two were samples I bought for .78 cents each. The tassel I splurged on for 1.99. Can you say DEAL??
Here’s the cabinet in that room to the left of everything you see above. The vase was 7.00 at Wallyworld and I had everything else except the el-cheapo candle inside the not-el-cheapo candle holder.
The room with the sinks or the vanity is brown. Here’s a piece I already had and spray painted white. The plate was part of that set for 1.50. The reeds I already had as well as the frames that need to be spray painted something besides gold. Everything else was from the thrift store for .75 or less. I love that bell. It was .25 cents.
Here’s the vanity. Across from the cute little shelf. I still have a few things I don’t quite like here either but will change them as I find things I love.
Here’s my favorite thing of all. This tassle. I paid 3.99 for it. I’ve got the lamp finished too. It has two blue ribbons around it now.
And I started on the master bath today….
See the Soft Scrub? I actually cleaned the tub today.
Whew!
What do you think?
Hi you – love the new look, but CAROLINA blue??? Can't do it – ever!! Poo antiqued our vanity – black, it looks so good- it's oak, was just the wood look before…..gives it a pop!
I think it all looks great.. I am working on my bathroom too.. although the ideas are all still in my head.. we may get started soon. we shall see….
I. Am. So. Proud.
It's beautiful!
Amazing what a can of spray paint, a trip to the thrift store, and some artful arranging can do!
I love the lampshade with the tassel. Adorable. We just moved into our newly built house this past weekend. I'm looking forward to thrift hunting soon to add a little something to the rooms; but first, I'm just glad I've found the silverware and my shoes.
Many Blessings,

Love the lamp love the tassels–you did great!
I LOVE that blue, Julie! The bath looks so well put together and a bit "spa-like". Well done!

I love your blue bathroom. You did a great job decorating. I really appreciate a well decorated house, but personally feel a little inept in this area.

I really love the blue!
Oh i found your site while surfing other blogs.
Anyway, I love the blue and the decor. I am not talented in this area but, I want to try and do something to make our bathrooms a little more inviting I like your redecorating alot it's very lovely.
Good Job.
