The loo

Wanna see my toilet?


This is what the main bathroom looked like when we moved in.



Harlequin.
Romance.












Here she is now...













We painted her up, 

Lakefront by CIL

The blue really helped tone down any yellow in the tile/sink/toilet.
Pink WAS NOT helping in that department.



These pictures were taken at different times, 
like I said before there truly isn't an 'after...




For example; 
that nasty yellow shower curtain rod in the picture below....
yum - o

in the first shot you will notice it has since been dumped for a nice shiny silver one.


it's the small things friends.
$10, get on it.









The black wire basket is from Homesense, 
same with the purple towel.

It was sold as a throw, 
it is in fact a Turkish bath towel.
Fancy.

Google those, they are wonderful.
I'm actually looking for one to use as a throw/blanket...

you win Homesense.







As much as I loved the brass Hollywood vanity light...
it had to go. 


This really helped to direct the light up, 
which in turn brightens the whole bathroom.

Happy accident really, 
I just thought the light was pretty.
Let's pretend I did it on purpose though, OK?





The first tray has been switched out for this pretty silver one.










This picture has since been turned on it's side..






Not too sure what to do with this, 
It's very handy, also very yellow.
For now it stays.






Originally this little display was to the left of the sink, 
one day I looked at it and thought


'oh hell no...'



I pitched half of it to other rooms in the house 
and now all that remains are the pink flowers.


Too harlequin.
too cluttered.



There was no real plan in here.
Just get rid of the pink and fill it with pretty things.
Half cottage chic half bright and shiny is what we ended up with.



I'm going to paint out the vanity white and go from there.










I'll leave you with this pretty picture of hand soap.
What more can I say about a bathroom?


This is where I shower and poop.


and sometimes, 



this is where I read romance novels.
