Bathroom Remodel



























































































































































































When we moved into our house last June we tackled painting and replacing floors but left the half bath off the kitchen to do later.  For almost a year now I've looked at an empty box with linoleum flooring and a builders grade basic sink.  The walls had not even been painted.  Using the cross stitch of the mermaid that my Mom had given me as inspiration, I set out to remodel.  We replaced the sink, added a vintage mirror, put up beadboard and replaced the linoleum with sandy colored ceramic tile.  I filled the shelves with beach glass from growing up on Lake Michigan and a favorite set of mermaid salt and pepper shakers.  The finishing touch was the Lefton mermaids I was able to score on Etsy.  I think they complete the bath perfectly.  I clearly have the beach and water on my mind because I've cast on another "Age of Brass and Steam" shawl with the prettiest shade of blue yarn.  Have a blessed start to your week!

xoxo,

  3. Great job Renee! I am loving the vintage mirror and the Lefton mermaids. Etsy is the best for scoring just the right things! OOOOH, you have a kitchen yet to do? Those are a lot of fun! I've got lots of resources if you need any for that. Enjoy!
