Hall Bath Facelift
by
Amanda M
A few months after living in our home, I noticed the hall toilet wasn't sealing correctly. My darling husband installed a new seal, but it continued to leak at the base. So, he removed the toilet and brought home a new one. Same problem. Then I suggested we need to check the sub floor for rot and mildew. Good thing we looked! A few days later, my love brings home this fabulous marble sink and tells me to "decorate" the bathroom around it. Well, minus a few finishing details, here's what we have so far.
The inspiration. This was a showroom model, including the adorable faucet.
The lighting department was throwing away beautiful showroom pieces. Of course I had to snatch this and a few others.
A few decorations. A former spice vinegar bottled filled with scented bath salts, ceramic fish my mother painted years ago, homemade soap balls, and a piece of corral.
Original cabinet refinished. Brass hardware spray painted brushed nickle. Recessed t.p. holder. Faux framed mirror. I see a modern essence to old world charm!
Found this quote song lyric on sale at Hobby Lobby!
White hook added to the door. Laundry bag made from an old pillowcase and repurposed hoody string. Door knob to be either painted or replaced in the future along with shower rod.
One of my toddler's Sesame Street books went to the dog, literally. I was able to save this page, frame it, and hang in above the double towel bar.

Katherine, thankfully only the subfloor around the toilet was damaged, and it was just enough that we had to replace it.

Amanda, that was good. I have hardwood floors and the wood joist under the floor was bad for about a 5 foot area. It was time to remodel anyway.
