The guest bath redo was pretty quickly done.
And pretty cheaply done, too. I moved stuff around from other rooms, shopped from my storage area, ordered some better curtain rods (I’d been using a tension rod, and switched to a set of swing bars for the over curtains) then repainted.
Although, paint is no longer the “cheap fix” it once was. Geez, the cost of a gallon has soared, hasn’t it? Honestly, I think I could’ve gotten by with a quart, it’s a small room. But I was erring on the side of caution. No one wants to get down to those last few drops in the can and not be quite finished.
The sink table was previously white, I brushed on and wiped off a dark umber glaze, then added some antique gold highlights to the detail. The large built in cabinet was white too. To change it up but not be too matchy with the vanity, I watered down some of the softer brown wall paint to do the same treatment. It’s a subtle difference.
The white iron piece was once black before I had painted it white in an earlier redo. For this new change, I used a spritz of gold spray paint over the metal, so it left a hint of color.
The center mirror was a lucky find at a garage sale, just the day before I had planned to start the project. I think its moodiness is exactly what the space needed. It wouldn’t have been the same without it.
My sister recently gave me our mom’s rose patterned mirror and it’s ideal here.
At first, I was going to repaint this mirror I’d redone years ago. Instead, I simply added a touch of gold to it. And the tiny cake stand? It was from a flea market and was already embellished with metallic paint.
Years ago, I used to paint a lot of ceiling tins with roses. This one’s faded tones matches the space nicely.
The shades are similar to this old postcard I put into this velvet frame.
This postcard is taped inside a glass lid that used to be on a box.
The pinks of this tiny painting I’ve done might be a little too bright but I still like it.
I really like all of it! And am so pleased by how quickly and smoothly it all went. I’m enjoying the big changes in this little room.
