le bain

so one of my first orders of business.. other than paint the whole inside, refinish the wood floors, and carpet the upstairs, is the bathroom. The main bathroom.. tiny, ugly, brown, and mostly disgusting.
I've got ideas out the ying yang.. but I have less than a week to do it all.. and a little budget that might buy me a extra large pack of gum. 

This is the piece of crap I'm working with: ( oops no pun intended)


I fell in love with this vanity.. however due to the tiny bath it wont fit. booo.

I'm considering this vanity due to its cost effectiveness of $199 and then it would give me an excuse to scour antique stores for a cabinet / toothpaste toiletry storage for underneath.


I'm wanting to go for this flooring.. but even after forgoing my $5500 dream chandelier, I don't know if our budget will allow for a tile expert to install this. Ive done some tile work.. rather large 12 x 12 tiles.. so this mesh backed flooring could be a bit tricky. I was trying to plan it out in my head and for even a tiny bathroom theres a ridiculous amount of cuts.  That being compounded by this tiny tile and Id probably cut my hand off.. but for the sake of my dream bath, I might just go for it.

Ahh Serenity.. Id love a bath like this Pottery Barn one.. but once again, with my budget I might be able to be able to afford the soap dish at pottery barn.


Ill keep you posted on the progress.

  1. How bad is the brown tile? Could you tie it in with some pretty wallpaper with pink and brown and do a cute little rug?
