I know this has been a long, drawn out process, and I am almost done {yay!}.
Here I posted my before photos.
Here is my inspirational photos.
I decided to forgo the gray theme I originally wanted to do {didn't really fit the rest of what I had going on throughout the house.}
The post came at the right time! {because yes, I am a copy cat!}
Also, after 2 & 1/2 years of living here, I grew tired of huge puddles of water leaking out from the sides, and the overspray was making everything wet...because I had a standard size shower curtain.
Yet, I had a small dilemma. My shower/tub opening is larger than your standard.
It was interesting to learn most shower curtains are 72x72.
Hence, in order to fix my 'issues' I needed to custom make my curtain.
I kept the existing shower curtain rod, and sewed up an ivory queen sheet.
{from Target}
Mine? Well this sheet is 94 x at least 94 if not more...because I sewed up the length to allow for the rod opening.
I also had quite the collection of antique doilies. {thanks to my slight hoarder problem!}
I tried hand sewing them on....not so easy!
...would've taken me until I was 30, at the rate I was going!
So I introduced myself to 'heat and bond' {I've never used it before!}
The whole ironing/bonding process took longer than I want to take {about 3 hours}, but hey! It's finished!
As for my shower curtain liner? I haven't been able to find one that is long/wide enough, so I have safety pinned the liner a little lower on the inside of the curtain...It kinda works, for now.
Hey! No water leakage anymore!
Here is more bathroom pictures:
Set of four bird/botanical type prints that add just the right amount of color!
I really love the window set up...
Little finale hung above the window for 'something extra'
Four little Target bud vases filled with some dried 'horton hears a who clover' left over from Christmas.
{note to self...take the window/curtain rod brackets off! They were here when we moved in}
From the door {yes this is our little bathroom...the only one!}
Progress....if you saw in the 'before' photos...this is definitely progress...I just randomly shoved things here...I need to pack them away in my extra decor tub, just haven't done that yet {L.A.Z.Y!!}
Hubby made these shelves from wood remnants...can say his wood hoarder pile has diminished greatly since he's made all these wonderful little projects for me!
I do have a plan! It just will involve..time and effort! Oh, and maybe some paint :)
Thank you everyone for all your sweet comments on my bedroom! I am definitely in love!
