My Glam Bath

When I first started this blog..you know way back like 3 weeks ago....I asked my kids what I should have as the subject of my first post. To my surprise both Wyatt and Chantel said, "Our bathroom". I couldn't believe it--in my immediate family I never get too many compliments on my decorating. (except from my oldest Janae) I think they don't want to do anything to encourage me. The more I decorate, the pickier I am about the house being clean, and everything being right where it is surpose to be--so tweens and husbands usually don't want to encourage the madness.  So anyway when they said the bathroom I was surprised because I thought I might have gone a little girly crazy in there. My son Wyatt said that it is girly but it is unique and nobody else has a bathroom like it so he thinks its cool. I so adore him. I didn't think a bathroom should be my first post..but now that I am up to like post #17 I decided its time to share the bathroom.   

 Our bathroom was a standard contractors bathroom..you know--large unframed mirror and beige floors and counters. I wanted to make it more unique yet do it on our "Kool-aid budget".  So I had seen a posting from an amazing blogger that me and about a million other people follow. mirror inspiration here

 I glued the frame of one of my many mirrors that I have picked up at Goodwill and garage sales over the years with a silicone I believe. I looked up on the internet that it is safe for the mirror underneath and that the mirror can be removed with acetone. Then I did what I had done on the mirror at our old house and I found at Goodwill this really long fabric drape. It was white and believe it or not I thought it needed some color.  I dyed it until it became the perfect blue I wanted in the bathroom and then with t-pins I stuck it up around the mirror in a fothy and flowing way. (okay maybe "fothy" isn't a word but you know what I mean)

I don't know why but I have always been charmed by Kewpie

This lavender brings back good memories of going to the lavender festival with my daughters last year.

This picture and night light are both from HomeGoods.  The blue in this picture is what I was going for when dying the swag.

Believe it or not I found this mirror at Goodwill for $2.99 and it was just a little dirty and I cleaned it and now I think its perfect! It is made out of a kind of ceremic plastery stuff--it is really pretty.

I bought this on ebay like 15 years ago before I became so thrifty.  I paid a lot for it but I love it so I guess I'm glad I did.  Notice the shower curtain--I so love it!  I don't know if you can see it very well but there are roses along the top and bottom. It is so so glam!

                  So that is our bathroom--it is actually the bathroom next to the kids room and the one that guests use.  Thanks for stopping by!
