These ladies are so talented. I can't believe all the great stuff they do and how, oh how do they have time to accomplish so much? Man, if I had the time... LOL
I enjoyed the red powder room for a bit, but then it started to seem too small and I was feeling
claustrophobic. So, I knew it was time for a "re-do".
Our loo is fairly small as it is and after many searches I read that a bold color could make a
room appear larger and grandiose, but in my experience of using bold and bright colors, I'll
say that wasn't so for us. In fact it made the loo smaller and more complicated to paint over.
Thank God I'm over the RED phase. It only lasted about a yr. and I was done. I rather have a
calmer environment... I feel myself calming down and relaxing in that surrounding vs. the
latter LOL so much so that I find that when I'm in a room w/ harsh, bright, bold and overpowering
colors, my anxiety is a tad bit higher. It takes me longer to de-compress and I'm less patient.
Here's the before; RED, loud, border line obnoxious =)
Unfortunatly the other pictures didn't com thru too well, but this is the after... (for now, until I get another idear in my head)
As it is today...
The touch lamp I found at the GW outlet for a whole dollar. It's nice for the kids to find their way in the middle of the night when I keep it in the first setting. The Fluer De Lis I found when Joanne Fabrics was closing in Dec. 09 for $1.50.
Forgive the weatherizing plastic on the window... but it has to be done in Michigan ;) That bathroom is in the back of the house where there are no trees and there is mayor breeze blowing threw there so, I had to let the cute go and saran wrap the window LOL
Still cute though... lml
Shower curtain from Marshalls that I found this summer for under $20. I also got the towels to "coordinate"
There is not much "pazzaz" in this here bathroom, but it sure does look bigger after the paint job...
I still have a couple more surprises coming to this room. I promise I'll have an update in the next two weeks.
Please leave me a comment and tell me what you think so far or if you have any advice or tips for me.
Thanks for visiting =)
