January 2010 Focus: Texas Bath
Here is the progress we made in our bathroom during the month of January 2010. Lots of old barnwood trim! The mirror/shelf is barnwood, and Jesse made a little stepstool, corner table (to hide the catbox), trash can cover, and shelves out of it. I love the little iron star details on the shelves - we got a box of stuff like it at an auction! We decided to keep the door painted like an outhouse because it worked so well with the gray tones of the wood. Also at the auction, we got a new towel bar for by the shower. I got creative with the rusty-iron textured spray paint and made a toilet brush holder out of one of Jesse's old boots! Since I took these pictures we also got a longhorn topped paper towel holder that we are using for extra rolls of T.P. and a new white blind and white Battenburg lace curtain to match the ones in the bedroom. Oh... I added some fake bluebonnets to the flag toothbrush holder that is on the shelf under the mirror and we picked up a few towels that are red and look like they have blue bandana trim on them. Next month we are moving on to the dining room!

Tejas Shower Curtain
Thought I should add that this is our shower curtain for the Texas bath. If I get around to it, I'll post pictures of what it looks like in our bath -- we even have the shower curtain hooks that go with it! Crazy - the sink/toilet/tub configuration is the same as ours! I never thought of putting the towels over the toilet, though... and .... we have that SAME toothbrush holder! How cute to put bluebonnets in it instead of toothbrushes!

I am trying to convince Jesse that we need something like this in the Texas bathroom.

That Sinking Feeling
Anyone who has ever lived in a house built in the 70s or 80s will appreciate the makeover we did to our bathroom. I don't have pictures of the robin's egg blue that was on the walls and the nasty yellow linoleum on the floor -- consider yourself lucky to be spared the horror!
Anyway, we painted the walls white when we moved in and I had stenciled some mint-green morning glory leaves on the door and window trim and across the top of the mirror/light. That lasted a few years.
We got some nice southwest pattern tile on sale and it got put in a few years back.
Later, we stuccoed the walls and painted it to match the bedroom walls - a soft terra-cotta color. Then we used some faux terra cotta textured spray paint in a darker shade to paint the shelves and the medicine cabinet. But the real triumph in this room was the sink & vanity.
It started as a standard 70s linoleum type backsplash in that fabulous white and gold swirl pattern. The cabinet was a groovy particle board contraption with the luscious peelable fake white woodgrain veneer. The sink was metal and had a metal rim around it.
We used some cheap wall paneling TURNED BACKWARDS to cover the vanity cabinet. We stained it to match the furniture in the bedroom - instant rustic pine.
Next we used more faux texture spray paint - a terra cotta color granite finish - after we sanded and primed the linoleum backsplash. We used a couple of cans of polyurethene (several coats) to seal the deal and make sure it was sturdy and waterproof.
We put in a porcelain sink that had come out of the front bathroom after we put a pedestal sink in there. Thank goodness we saved it! Look at the trim we added around the cabinet doors (it is just half-round edging!) and the star door handles. We bought some wooden star cutouts in the craft section of Walmart and then added some straight handles that we finished with flat black and rust-colored spatter to get the old cast-iron look that is on the bedroom furniture. We also did this treatment to the toilet paper holder - until we can find the kind we want for the towel racks and everything...that's another post!
