Rustic bathroom decorating, DIY decorating.

I have a very small bathroom off the kitchen which gets a lot of traffic from guests and visitors. I could not decide on the decorating theme when I found this cute wallpaper border with birdhouses and so it began. I made custom frames to fit some of my favorite magazine photos, added a few handmade birdhouses and outhouses. It was still missing something when the picket fence idea struck me. I also put a few wallpaper birdhouses and an ivy trail on the back of the door ( too hard to capture a pic). I am still waiting to use the branch trimmings from my wisteria plant th hang on the ceiling and maybe add some twinkling lights? The bathroom has become the talk of the neighbors and I have met some new friends who heard about it and stopped by to take a peek.

    This reminds me of bathrooms in Antique shops. They always have a couple of pieces of furniture and several paintings, etc. on the walls so that you're a captive audience to view all the treasures. No need for magazines in this one! Very creative and so happy looking, and you did a great job on the custom frames!

    Well one thing about it, no one would be bored in that bathroom, BUT, you just might forget what you went in there for!!!

    I remember one of the earliest lessons I was taught in accessorizing when it comes to bathrooms. That is the ONE room in your home that you go into entirely alone (speaking of guests) and if there aren't pretty, interesting things to look at they just might decide to snoop in your medicine ...»

    cabinet or look underneath the sink cabinet!!! Give 'em lots to look at!! Good job - love it!!!

    LOVE the fence and the outhouses! The walls though, have too many smalls and it makes things too busy. Fewer small items and several large, focal points with the smalls around them would make it a little quieter. Also, try painting a few of the frames in country colors like green and barn red.
