The bathroom project is coming along nicely! It looks totally different, and I love it! Just need to add the finishing touches. Here’s a sneak peek:

As you can see, I’ve chosen a light turquoise for the walls. I don’t think my camera captured the true color, but you get the idea. I changed my mind about the towel bar and toilet paper holder that matched the faucet. They were chrome and porcelain, and to make all the other hardware in the bathroom match, we would have had to use a lot of chrome. Blech. So brushed nickel is the finish we chose instead. And while we were at it, the builder-grade, super-ugly brass light bar over the mirror also got replaced – hoo-ray! You can see part of the new fixture in this picture, and I’ll be sure to show you a better picture in the final reveal.

I’ve been looking around my normal stores (Walmart, Target, Marshall’s, Pier One) for the finishing touches, and not having a lot of luck finding what I want. Today, I spent over an hour at Hobby Lobby and finally picked out some fun fabric, ribbon, iron-on rhinestones and a canvas for a wall decoration. They also had all their dried naturals half price, so I picked up some great accents as well. I bought a candle at Walmart the other day that should go nicely, and also went to the Goodwill (since it’s next to Hobby Lobby) and scored a few deals. I still have another surprise for the walls, but it’s going to be custom made, so I’m not sure when it will be done! Next post will be about how I put all my finishing touches together – can’t wait! Anyone else have a room with turquoise walls?
