Bathroom Reveal

The day has arrived! I can finally show you my finished bathroom! I'm so excited!!! But before we get to the reveal I want to say thanks to you fabulous ladies, I have over 100 followers!!!! To celebrate I'll be doing my first giveaway. The prizes will be some of the items you will see in my new bathroom! Go here to enter!! 

Ok, back to the bathroom. I should warn you, there are lots of pictures. :) You will have to excuse the quality of the pictures.We took out the window so we no longer have any natural light and the room is very small. So the colors are a little off. Sit back and enjoy.

Just to refresh your memory here are some before pictures.



And here's what the room looks like now. 

Ahhh so much better!

New tile floor

New tub and surround and the shower curtain my mom and I made out of a drop cloth.

I love toile and have been wanting to use it in my house somewhere so I thought it would be the perfect addition to the shower curtain.

We also added some grosgrain ribbon


Remember this broken box I purchased at an estate sale for $1.50?

I painted it white, distressed it a little and hung it to display other fun finds

My husband and I made a towel holder out of a picket fence board and old doorknobs


Tiny bottles of French perfume



I painted and distressed a frame I already had and added the picture I found from The Graphics Fairy

I made this from a piece of pallet wood


This box was another estate sale find. I just noticed I was so excited to show you my bathroom I forgot to do some touch up painting and cover up all the screws. :)

It's like it was made for the shaving brushes!

We found these doorknobs at the church where we work. My husband soldered the knob to the plate so we could use them as hand towel holders.




So, what do you think?

    Your bathroom looks great! I noticed that you said you took the window out and I didn't see a vent fan, so I am wondering how you will keep the bathroom from molding. We have a hard time here with a large window in the bathtub/shower and can't wait to get a vent. http//snipssnailsandpuppydogstails.blogspot.com

    I love it - have also done my bathroom out in a similar style. Very homely and easy to love with. And having kids - the perfect style as it already looks knocked about and they can have 'fun' in their bathroom. Well done - looks great

    Found you on the Serenity Now Link Party today. I LOVE your bathroom - especially the tile floor. The smaller different colored tiles in the middle of the floor are a great touch! And I also love the picket fence and door knob towel hooks. Will keep that in mind for my next home!

    Nothing could have been better than this re-do. When I looked at the first few pics, I was not sure how beautiful this would be. Love the way you have reused the door knobs and those shelves. Wish I could have you over at my place.

    Oh my Gosh! You have knocked this remodel out of the ball park! I am so loving the ideas you have going here. I have just remodeled a bathroom and didn't have any decorating in it yet and some of these ideas were exactly the kinds of things I was thinking of. I love your doorkonbs on either side of the mirror. Very nice job! Thanks for linking it up at Home Sweet Home!
