Bathroom

Our bathroom is very small but it suits our needs and it's cozy. I sewed the shower curtain. I found the print at Wal-Mart; if I'd had any sense I'd have bought enough to make curtains for the window too. We had to have some plumbing work done in the shower and unfortunately it caused more problems than it solved. You see we had a small leak coming from the shower head so we asked the plumber if there was a way to stop it and he said we needed to replace the stems, an inexpensive part, so we gave him the go ahead. Well, it turned out that he had to bust out some tile to get to the stems and then he needed to bust out some more tile to replace the pipe to the shower head. He told us it wouldn't cost much to repair. It turns out it costs a lot to repair... $750.00 worth. So, we paid $15 in parts to get the shower fixed and it will cost us $750 to get the tile fixed. Aye charumba Ironic thing... the shower is leaking again.
This wall is adjacent to the shower which is to the right. I bought this really cool frame from Collections as well. It had a mirror in the center of it but I broke that, so I found a woodland print with little bears on it and used the mirror as a frame instead. Hey, it works. I got the nightlight at Kohls along with a really cute bathroom set that has a moose toothbrush holder, a log cabin lotion/soft soap dispenser, and a canoe for bar soapThis wall is adjacent to the shower which is to the right.

At some point we want to replace the tile in the shower and the counter top and change to a new sink. I'd like something a little more neutral maybe some granite. It shouldn't cost that much because it's such a small countertop.

I got this really cool, oval mirror with the antler accents through http://www.collectionsetc.com/. It's such a cool website and the stuff is really nice and really cheap.>



The entire bathroom is done in pine beadboard, which is really quite pretty, and it definitely has that rustic feel to it. The only thing that doesn' t fit is the tile and the pink sink. I think one of the people who has owned this house has really had a thing for pink...I mean coordinating way beyond Martha Stewart. I took this picture by using the huge mirror on the wall. It goes the full lenght of the bathroom.

Another exciting view, but the last one. Here's why I said I should have bought more material...no curtain over the window. I was afraid it would look funky from the outside of the house. The way it looks now only the shutters show out of the windows. I put some of that frosted decal stuff on the top of the windows and it gives us the privacy we want without the curtains. The shutters have a Betsy Ross American flag on them in Americana colors. I have them in all three windows and it looks really cool from the outside of the house.
