I decided to use one of my favorite things-you guessed it-a locker basket, to hold some extra t.p! I wanted to add a little splash of color in here, so I chose this shower curtain- it has a pretty coral color paired with a sage green. Not my usual M.O., but I liked it, so I thought what the heck?
Next, I gathered some goodies from my 'stash' in the basement and added them to the top of the toilet. (Hey, we decorators gotta 'merchandise' wherever we can!)
Here's the newly completed back wall of the bathroom now...
I got the chandelier at a garage sale, then added the shades.
I keep switching the toilet paper holder and the trash can back and forth! (did you notice?)
Overall, I'm pretty pleased with how this turned out!
This is the little wall to the right of the shower (the outer laundry closet wall) that holds a clock and towels.
I found this mirror at the flea market and fell in love with the shape and weathered patina!
It hangs over the sink, which is across from the shower.
My mom just found this cabinet at a garage sale last week. She bought it for our shop, but I kept it! It's perfect for this space right across from the laundry. I love it!!
I found the chippy little step stool at the flea market...it comes in handy, since I'm a shorty :)Well, I hope you enjoyed this tour of our 'loo'! I'm joining up with a monthly swap party at Ethereal Plus What I Love...go check it out, and join up, too! It's gonna be fun :)

ReplyDeleteBlessings,

I enjoyed the tour of the loo- Don't you just love it when you buy a new shelf and then "shop" in your own home to find the just right pieces to complete the look! That cabinet your mom found is darling!
ReplyDeleteI love your newly decorated loo! The cabinet, the shelf, and the stool are great! I love how you pulled everything together. The smaller items with the enamelware pitcher, the wire storage baskets, and the the glass containers are gorgeous! Lovely, lovely job. ~ Jamie
ReplyDeleteLoved the tour, Susan! The little cabinet your Mom found is perfect in your bathroom. I noticed the trading back and forth of the tp and waste can. Made me feel good that I'm not the only one who does things like that. :-)
ReplyDeleteLove all you've done to make it guest friendly! Your hardwoods will be the icing on the cake.

What a pretty bathroom! I love all of the vintage peices you repurposed. The shower curtain fabric adds just the right pattern in there too. I've toured all of your rooms and they are all so incredible! I love your fun accessories. I bet you could easily shop your house, from one room to the other, if you needed to.
ReplyDeleteit's filled with such great finds, susan! love the chandy, mirror and the floral curtain works great! love the little stool and enamel pitcher, too:)
ReplyDeleteLove the cabinet and the mirror!!

ReplyDeleteVery cute - just as expected! I love locker baskets too - but I have nary a one:( need to change that someday! I love a clock in the bathroom. Always wondering what time it is when getting ready to go somewhere!
ReplyDeleteFun tour of your bathroom. I am in love with your Mom's garage sale cabinet. that is perfect for the bathroom.
ReplyDeleteOh what a fun tour of your "loo".....I purchased 4 great locker baskets about 6 months ago...they came out of the Univ. of NC...so love the way you have displayed yours....and yes, I would have kept that cabinet too...so cute and perfect for that space!...Thanks for the great tour..loved it!
ReplyDeleteHow fun to have a peek into someone else's home. I love the vintage stuff that you have and it made me laugh when I kept noticing the TP holder moving in the pics :) Thank you for sharing at The "Sunday Stop"!
ReplyDeleteHugs,

Came over from Charmer to visit your loo. It was very delightful. I collect locker baskets - love the way the extra tp is stored! Glad you kept the cabinet - your mom must have super eyes to pick it out!

How could I not click on a thumbnail that reads "tour the loo" ...
ReplyDelete:)
And a lovely tour of a lovely loo it is! If I was your guest I would spend way too much time in that loo marveling at its beauty ...
Linda
Not to be too picky, but why is your hand-towel so far away from your sink? Otherwise I really like what you've done to the room. I especially like the paper holder and the little cabinet.
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed the tour of your updated bathroom Susan. Thanks for linking up at Shabbilicious Friday :)
ReplyDeleteLove the loo, just gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteXO

Oh My Goodness!!! This bathroom is absolutely lovely! The cabinet, the enamel pitcher, the chipped charm.../sigh so much to love. Definitely following back. I thought I had followed last night, but I was blogging in between canners of tomato based recipes so I must have gotten side tracked.
