In the Old House: Main Floor Bath



These are the "before" pictures of my bathroom. The bath had been "updated" with a white vinyl floor and oak vanity with a coordinating light fixture and toilet paper holder. The one piece toilet was new and the one piece tub/shower surround was also pretty new, so I kept both. I know a lot of people prefer tub with tile surround, but I like the one-piece deals myself. I know they're not as pretty, but very easy to clean! I put in a new porcelain 12"x12" tile floor, a new vanity, mirror, light fixture, window treatments, and art. I also had an exhaust fan installed since there had never been one! I guess the previous owners cracked the window to vent the steamy shower? Below are the after pictures:

I painted the walls a soft blue. The vanity and mirror came from Lowe's. They look very similar to a set from Pottery Barn, but were about 1/3 the price! The poppies painting is an original work of art I purchased from the artist via eBay. I also bought the old window on eBay. I love it! The clock is from Target. The faux vintage  mirrors came in a set from Signals catalog and the small gold framed oval French prints are from ETSY.
