Powder Room

Remember when we repainted our bathroom? It used to look like this. But when we had hardwood floors installed to replace the nas-asty carpet, the wallpaper in the powder room had to go because the sink moved down a bit and there would have been a less-than-attractive strip of plain drywall above it. So we stripped the wallpaper (yay for wall-paper steamers!) and Matt textured it and we did that accent wall. I was a bit hesitant on the color (a bit darker than the photo shows) but love it now. BTW, if you love it too, give me a call because we WAAAY overbought on paint and you can have a whole (unopened) gallon of the stuff FREE OF CHARGE. We even have half a gallon more than that.

Anyhow that was like 18 months ago. Ever since then it’s been sitting there just quietly doing its bathroom thing. For my b’day I put this cute print on my wishlist. I don’t think I specified a color but my mom bought it for me and chose blue. I didn’t have a spot in mind for it when I put it on my wishlist but after it arrived all blue and cute, I knew where it had to go … my blue bathroom!! So last weekend I finally got around to getting a frame for it ($6 IKEA special) and there it is.

Makes me happy every time I look at it. Now all I need to do is replace the old black hand towels with some new ones … raspberry red maybe?
