Before I begin this post I would like to thank you for all your sweet compliments on my last post, Seth is really a great person .
This month marks our first anniversary since moving into our little Cottage. Our home was built in 1979 and is a ranch style design. We have two bathrooms each were remolded when we purchased the home. Just the bear necessities were in each bathroom. The guest bathroom had a sink vanity, shower and pottie, no linen cabinet or window covering.
I didn't have much of a budget to decorate this room, so I had to make due with some of the things we brought with us from our other home.
I began by painting the walls a french blue, changing the mirror from the small round one that was hung over the sink to my silver heart one I've had for years. Then changed the knobs out that I purchased from Anthropology, the knobs are called "mercury glass melon knob" at $8.00 each.
I was able to reuse the white wicker seat and re-purpose the creamy white corner hutch as a linen cabinet.
Purchased a few new pictures and a clock from Burlington Coat Factory, they have a really nice home area. I fell in love with the paisley wall clock and I always like to know what time it is, I don't know why I just do LOL....
Gary added the hangers to the white shelve that we all ready had. This makes a great place to hang towels and a robe. We replaced the new very small pottie that was there to a larger more "green" water saver. No handle you push the button on the top of the tank to flush.
Installed the white 2 inch blind. Hung the shower curtain and Walla the "Guest Bathroom". Very simple but functional. One day I hope to add white crown molding and bead board. A girl can dream LOL.
Enjoy your week, I will be thinking of you all and keeping you all in my prayers.
Today I'm joining in with Susan from Between Naps on the Porch for Metamorphosis Monday and Cielo from The House in the Roses

Both bathrooms turned out beautifully. I like your idea about saving money and by doing so you can add a little splurge on Anthropologie knobs. I wish that I had known about the color French blue before I painted my bathroom Alice Blue. Ai yi yi.
What a pretty bath! I love that shower curtain, and those knobs.
Hugs,
Penny

Bathroom is very beautiful !!! and yes the chest opens, a lot of storage, but the kids play on it and eat there too, so as of right now nothing is in it ....lol that is there TV ...Have a great day
Paint and the right accessories and your guest bath is amazing. Those knobs really make the vanity now, along with your mirror, it looks completly new.
You are an inspiration.
Looks great. Repurposing is always the way to go.

Beautiful beautiful! What a great job, dearest Elizabeth. I understand about decorating on a budget- in my new home (ha!... when I have it!), I'll have to use several things I am moving from here... even if I'd like to have all new!! But hey, there's always spray paint ;))
Thank you for your friendship, I treasure it and each and every note you leave me.

Your guest bathroom looks so pretty! Our guest bathroom is also the one my kids use most, so I have trouble even keeping it clean. With 8 of us and two bathrooms (although my older two aren't here all the time), it seems a bit crowded :-)
Have a wonderful Mother's Day!
Blessings,
Marcia
