~ Renovated Bathroom ~

When I purchased this 1950 ranch house the master bathroom had a hole in the floor, hideous green tile, a door that blocked the only cabinet and a sliding tub door.  I don't have before pictures but you can imagine what the bath looked like. 


I hung toile wallpaper and had the builder construct the board and batten paneling and shelf.  This is the first mirror I selected for the bath.


This is the second mirror...I really like this one.


Made a shelf with two garage sale corbels and two pieces of glass out of my stash.


My paternal Grandmother's china.


First ceiling fixture...sorry about the different bulbs:)


Mr. Sweetie hung the vintage light fixture...really like this one. This came from my sister's room when we were growing up at home.

      What a beautiful space you have created!! The toile wallpaper is timeless I think and the ceiling fixtures also. I have a rose ceiling fixture that is somewhat similar except that it has the candle arms. I do love it and was so excited when I saw it in our soon to be home!

      Absolutely gorgeous! I love your bathroom and love that second mirror the best! I shared my master bath remodel as well- with red toile wallpaper! The link to it is on my sidebar under 'popular posts' as 'vintage bathroom' if you would like to stop by and take a look. It was a complete disaster when we started. New follower here- love your style! :)

      You've done an amazing job on your bathroom. So many ignore this room! Love the wallpaper and fixture.
      Dropping by from Met Monday. I hope you'll come see my daughter's dining room redo.

      There is so much to admire in this bathroom. First, I love toile so the wallpaper is awesome. I also collect corbels and that makes this shelf a wonderful piece. I also love plates and chandeliers so there you go...A winner. Hop on over to my blog and see if you like the pillow I am giving away...if you do, click on it and follow the rules.

      Well I guess I was already following your blog! Anyway this chandelier is so special, I have never seen one like it before. You should do a post just on light fixtures and feature this baby!
