Creations from my heart: Powder Room

Last week I promised I would share with you

the bathroom makeover.

We recently had to have the wood floors refinished. When we returned from a family vacation, we were greeted by water on the wood floor. The refrigerator had stopped working and everything had defrosted inside the fridge, including all the ice inside the freezer. Never, did I think this would cause a bathroom re-do.

Well... the toilet and pedestal sink in the bathroom sat on part of the wood floor, so they both had to be removed

before the floors could be sanded.

When the contractor removed the pedestal sink it tore the wallpaper, so the makeover began....

Come on in and see the finished room...

My sweet friend Shelly made me this beautiful frame.

I loved it, but didn't have a spot on the wall to hang it.

I decided to hang the frame on the bathroom door.

I attached a decorative ribbon to the back of the frame.

I then stapled the ribbon to the top edge of the door .

It's the perfect spot!

Love the bible verse....

Here's the new wallpaper.

I wish I had a photo of what this cabinet looked like in

it's "Previous Life".

It was a bargain in the clearance section at TJ Max. It had a monkey with a palm tree painted on it. When I brought it home my family thought I had lost my mind, but I had a plan!

I left the top alone.

As for everything else, it got a coat of green paint,

some glaze and then a coat of sheer metallic paint.

I love adding tassels to drawer pulls!

I added some wood decals

that I picked up at the local hardware store.

I just used some wood glue to attach them

and then painted over the entire cabinet.

Why not think about adding a tassel, decorative trim

and some beaded trim to embellish a lamp?

A few photos of my boys sit on top of the cabinet.

An old book that I just wrapped in some black paper and then added a strip of printed scrapbooking paper. I just embellished the book by brushing it with some gold paint.

Two little bunnies sit on top of the book.

We decided to replace the pedestal sink. There was no storage in the bathroom and I found this cabinet that remined me of a piece of furniture. When I spotted it I knew it would be perfect!

I love adding candles in the bathroom. I'm not a fan of seeing the label on the candle. Check out my post HERE about giving candles a quick "one of a kind" look.

The hardware, lighting and mirror

were all part of the previous bathroom.

Can you see the hooks on the back of the door?

I really did not want to put up a towel bar

in the small powder room.

I decided to hang the hook for the hand towel.

I found it at Marshals Home Goods.

One of my favorite stores for home accessories.

I didn't want a blind in the bathroom, but need privacy.

Whoever designed the house, was definitely not thinking. They place the toilet right in front of the window. I decided to use two tension rods and gather on sheer fabric for privacy.

I made a soft shade for the valance.
