Fall 2016 One Room Challenge - The Reveal !!

If you want to see how fast time flies sign up for the One Room Challenge!!!

First, Thank you to Linda at Calling It Home Blog for providing us with the amazing motivator that is the One Room Challenge. Every time I do one of these I think to myself, "Why didn't I do something about this room sooner?"

I chose to refresh our neglected Master Bathroom.
It was not a remodel - nothing was removed, replumbed, etc.

I used more creativity (I hope) than ca$h!

Let's take a (brief 'cause it's not good!) moment to remember where we started.
A dingy, yellowed faux bamboo cabinet, mirrors and such stored in the 80's garden tub, and paint cans waiting and ready!

And here is where we ended up...


The yellow-y thrifted cabinet is now the Ravishing Coral beauty and the star of the room.
China cabinets - not just for dishes anymore.








 The same cabinets got a coat of glossy white paint and some new gold hardware.
The black and white tile floor stayed but I bought a seagrass runner from IKEA back in the Summer and it's fabulous. We have 2 sinks, a shower and a tub. That's too many little rugs. 
The zebra rug is an indoor/outdoor rug that I snagged online, on sale, for the Black is Back Library ORC and it didn't make the cut. Trying it out in here.



 Thrifted Chinoiserie lamp in my coral-y orange. Such a find. 


The fabric on the shower curtain was love at first sight. 
And a little Greek Key trim never hurt anything!


A vintage bamboo magazine rack holds necessities.
I'm not sure that painting is staying but for now... 

And the banana leaf fabric cornices weren't mentioned before
 because the day before I was supposed to post my reveal
 this is what they looked like -

  6. Thank you! The fabric is from A Williamsburg Collection and is called Braganza. This colorway is spice, I believe.
