Bathroom Face Lift
Well, Christmas has come and gone and so has the New Year celebrations. While January is a month to reflect on the past year, it is also a time for new beginnings. As changes are being made in our lives and resolutions come to be discovered, why not apply some changes to your home? The winter always tends to bring out the tendency to hibernate and most people wait till the Spring or Summer to start projects around the house. However, once the nice weather makes an appearance, everyone wants to enjoy the missed sunshine. When I was contacted about redecorating this bathroom, I was delighted...what a great time to give any room in your house a makeover!

Window Treatments and Accessories |

Bathtub/Shower |
Yes! That is carpet flooring...Quite the fancy bathroom in its day! |
Wicker towel stand |
The only accessories being salvaged is the beautiful antique jug and basin set, which is difficult to see with the busy wallpaper pattern |
The function of this room is mainly for guests when they come to visit. This bathroom is one of three in the home, as there is a bathroom on-suite in the master bedroom and a gentleman's bathroom in the finished basement. While, this bathroom is in immaculate condition and quite spacious, the decor has not ever been changed in over 30 years. The layout is long and narrow, and while we aren't rearranging the layout of the shower, stool or cabinets, almost everything is being updated! As this is the most current project, here are some pictures to keep you up to date with the changes being made.
