Ta-da! Okay, she's not done, but progress was made...

Before, pea-green "tile" wallboard, lovely lighted moderne medicine cabinet, and the floor destroyed by a leaky toilet, undetected beneath vinyl flooring, oh joy.


So far...Since this powder room connects to my garden mural kitchen, I decided to go all themey and do a "potting shed".  I showed you the "tile" on Friday.  Since then, I painted the upper walls in a very theatrical style "faux bois".  I wanted it to have the sense of being a shed, but although I often do very realistic wood graining on doors and trim for clients, that wasn't necessary here.  The playfulness of this is part of it's charm, as is the fact that it didn't take days to paint!


The ugly and unnecessary medicine cabinet was replaced with a yard sale mirror...

...and I altered a clearance bin brass chandelier with black paint, tiny clay flower pots. and a burlap cord scrunchie.

Now, all that's left to do is all that ever really had to be done in the first place:  finish the floor (It's repaired, but not pretty yet), and put the toilet back in.  Guess I'll be working some very early mornings this week.  Have a great week, and check back on Wednesday for a progress report, and maybe something yummy to cook.

What a hoot! I love the flower pots in the chandelier. Clever as heck, Dawn-Marie.
