shower curtains

One of my next projects in our house is to give the bathroom a mini-facelift – a new storage solution, possibly a new paint job (again!,) and replace our shower curtain with a non-PVC one. Right now we’re leaning towards this: um, yeah, as seen on HGTV apparently. I like the simple white-on-white pattern, and [...]

bathroom lust

I am obsessed with Anna of Door Sixteen‘s new bathroom – it’s not finished yet but already is my dream bathroom – simple, timeless and classic. I’m especially into the carrera marble hexagon floor tiles (hexagon floor tiles are my all time favorite bathroom flooring material.) See more here.

janky

The handle broke off our toilet yesterday. While both T. and I are perfectly capable of fixing this ourselves, he’s decided that we should stop fixing things that are the landlord’s/handyman’s responsibility to fix. I agree. I’m currently taking bets on how long we’ll be living with this “temporary” solution. Also, I can’t wait to [...]

loveliness

Ok, project reveal time . . . Let me preface this by saying it was not an original idea – I saw a photo of a similar light set up in a bathroom (has anyone else seen this? can you tell me where it was from?) and fell in love. I’ve been unhappy with my [...]

powder room

I recently redecorated the front-hall powder room at my parents’ house for them and thought I would share it will you all.

bathroom paint = done!

I finally finished painting the bathroom, for the third and LAST time. I decided that even if I hated the color it was staying, because there was not way that this bathroom was getting painted a fourth time (remember, we rent.) Luckily, I love it. It’s very clean and fresh feeling, which is what we [...]

Pink donuts

So, I am almost done painting the bathroom blue (the graduation extravaganza threw off the time schedule) and am trying to decide what to do with the rest of it. I love pink and blue together, but would it be wrong to put pictures of food in the bathroom? Etsy seller Pop Pictures has some [...]

urchin

I am thinking this would look awesome framed in my new blue bathroom. If I ever get finished painting it. It probably wouldn’t look so awesome in my neon green/yellow/grey/five colors of blue bathroom. Urchin by Alicia Bock, $30

Bathroom

I have been working on painting my bathroom since we moved into this apartment in July. I don’t even want to think about how much money and time I’ve spent at this point on this, the smallest room in the house. Here are my current color swatches, and yes, I’ve now gone from yellow, to [...]
