Master Bath :)

Well, we finally got the master bath done. I had a vision in my head of a vintage beach theme, and even though I couldn't find the picture frames I wanted for the art, I feel like it still came out looking good. Eventually I would like to add a small band of glass tile above and around the top of the sink and possibly above the shower/tub....we'll see. Please keep in mind that our house was built in 1953 and bathrooms were much smaller then....we also kept the paneling and just painted it (cause believe it or not, paneling is coming back!!!). Now onto a refresher of what the master bath looked like when we moved in. Ugly shower curtain they left, old sink/vanity and CARPET!!!
Now, with new paint, tile, vanity, art, baseboards, crown moulding and shower curtain:
Better view of the new vanity:
My "vintage" beachy art:
Sonnet 17 by Pablo Neruda:
Floating shelves that Buddy built using door trim to hold up premade shelves so I could "cutely" store our bathroom stuff in wicker baskets:
And that's about it. House is getting there :) Hope to have some sheetrock put up in the 2 spare bedrooms and our guest bath soon to cover up ugly acoustical tile. Then we can paint and install our new interior doors. Until next time!!
