The Powder (Blue) Room Con't

I never realized until this post how hard it is to get a picture of the entire bathroom!

Yesterday, I discussed our bathroom updates including the removal of tile and wallpaper, updating paint,and installing some sinks.

Today, I am going to show you the finishing touches- the curtains, the homemade seat cover, and some art work. The curtains were purchased from a yard sale for $4, I think. I liked the gray, blue, and brown stripes. When I saw these, I immediately thought of our bathroom because we had been discussing dark gray as a color in the bathroom and these curtains included the blue tile color. (The shower and the floor are blue tile.) The curtains used be much, much longer but that was a little unnecessary for the bathroom so I cut them off and hemmed them. Then, I had leftover fabric left to make that toilet seat cover mentioned here.



We decided on chrome accents such as the chrome wall switch plate (Lowe's, $6) and chrome electrical cover (Lowe's, $6). The picture frames (BOGO Joann Fabrics $12) were also a chrome finish. Since the bathroom was beginning to look a little sci-fi, we decided to frame some movie posters that we cut out of a movie poster book of Mothra and The Day the Earth Stood Still. The poster book was purchased on ebay for $10.
