The Bathroom

December 30, 2011 by Crafty Teacher Lady +

First thing is first, I’ve joined Pinterest!!  And I’m totally addicted!  You can find me here! Please consider following both my blog and my Pinterest boards! Second, I’ve just written an updated list of more ‘beach inspired’ paint colors I’ve used in my home!

I have yet to post any pictures of my bath decor so today’s the day!  About a year before my house was built I picked up a really pretty glass tile sample from Home Depot, which ended up being the inspiration for the entire room.

Bathroom Design Idea

The paint color in the room is Sea Salt by Sherwin Williams.  I splurged (the biggest splurge in the entire house) on a Corian vanity top in a gray to pick up the gray in the tile back-splash. I ended up going with a slightly different style tile for the back-splash than in the picture above, however.

I couldn’t decide between a mirror or a medicine cabinet for above the vanity.  While I like the look of a mirror I like the functional aspect of a medicine cabinet.  I ended up finding this…

Mirrored Medicine Cabinet

It’s a medicine cabinet from Lowes that looks like it just a plain mirror!  Love it!  The light fixture and faucet are from either Lowes or Home Depot, can’t remember! Here’s a view looking straight in from the hallway:

To the right is the tub/shower and to the left is a large laundry closet and the ‘toilet nook’! I love having the laundry on the main floor, very convenient!  This is also the first time in my entire life to have a brand new washer & dryer…it’s the little things!

I framed some homemade art in an Ikea Ribba frame (the days of the week in French) to add some color to the space.  The toilet paper is creatively and conveniently stored in a tall apothecary jar I picked up at Home Goods.  And there you have it…my bathroom!

    Do you happen to know the name of the tile you used?

      Hi, unfortunately I don't know the exact name of the tile but I purchased it at Home Depot about 4 years ago!

    Is the medicine cabinet recessed or mounted on the surface? Also, do you know if this item is still available or what the brand is? Thanks!

Little glimpses of pattern mixing around our home! Little glimpses of pattern mixing around our home! 😍💗

Please don’t be fooled, though…these are close up shots for a reason- the house is FULL of moving boxes, piles of stuff to be organized and put away, and the DIY project list is LONG! 

But finding small little pretty corners is bringing me a little bit of joy and I hope they do the same for you, friend! 💗🙂#
I’m nowhere near unpacked or ready to “properly” d I’m nowhere near unpacked or ready to “properly” decorate,  but we needed some functional storage and a “drop zone” near the entrance we most use so I threw together this little area with things I already had…and the best part is, everything is thrifted! 😍 

Eventually, I’ll put wallpaper above the beadboard and will give the fireplace a makeover. But for now, just trying to tackle the endless boxes to unpack and breakdown (peep that pile of cardboard at the end of the video)!!
Life Update: I bought a house! This has been in th Life Update: I bought a house! This has been in the works for a while but I wasn’t quite sure how/when/what I wanted to share. If you’ve been here since my Maine days, you know just how much I enjoy sharing all things DIY and home decor and I’m looking forward to doing just that. 

I know questions will inevitably arise about the circumstances of this move but I will likely keep those details private. We are still in Virginia, not too far from the farm, and are settling into our new routine. 

In true ‘Crafty Teacher Lady’ style, this house is a fixer upper, just like most of my previous homes. It’s in a lovely neighborhood in an adorable town and I’m excited to make some happy memories here as I turn this little house into our home! 
 
C requested pink walls (which I obliged) and Stanley has also already come to visit a few times during family movie nights and he has given his ‘seal of approval’ to the fenced-in backyard! 🤣🥰🐕 

More to share soon (likely in stories) as I continue to tackle my very long list of home projects! 💗
