Our bathroom on Friday to the left....and four days later on the right
This little 8×8′ bath is attached to our master bedroom while the larger bath is down the hallway. I think this originally was part of a breezeway that was converted at a later time on our 1955 ranch. The skylight has always been a nice feature but the bathroom itself has needed a facelift for quite some time.
The photos below show the changes that happened between Saturday and today. The room is far from done but I thought you might like to see the progression of the painting job. I managed to save some money too by refreshing our light fixtures with Kilz primer and Krylon spray paint. I love to keep the 1950’s fixtures where possible.

THIS INDONESIAN BATIK WAS THE INSPIRATION FOR THE COLORS ....ON A BATH TOWEL HUNT NOW!
THE FUN PART COMES NEXT…..ACCESSORIZING!!!!
As you can see in the increible horse batik above, the color palette is going to be vivid and fun!! That background is actually indigo/blackish blue and the tail is FULL of color. Below you can see a rug I found but will never have as it is 300.00 ..OUCH. If any of you find a leaf shaped rug under 100.00 that is for the bathroom please let me know!!!
OOOOOH I WANT THIS RUG SO BAD!!! I MIGHT NEED TO CUT MY OWN FROM BATHROOM CARPET
