Bathroom Update

8.10.2011
So a while back we started working on updating the main bath of the H-Haus. When we moved in it had many layers of ugly linoleum and laminate flooring, a rotted subfloor, peeling fiberglass shower walls, and yes - an animal print bathtub border. Here is the idea board I came up with for the space:



And here is the before photo:



Now keep in mind that we're still not finished, but here is the (in-progress) after:


Here's what we've done:
(By the way sorry these aren't the best photos but it's really tough in such a small space). We still have to put some of the chair rail molding back up (the Hubster needs a new saw - his "bit the dust" har har!) and find new cabinet knobs:



I love my striped vase from West Elm! It finally arrived after being back ordered for a VERY long time. I wasted no time clipping some pretty budding branches from the backyard and placing them in their new home:



And probably my favorite thing in the bathroom is this original painting by Etsy seller UnitedThread: (although the hand towels from Anthropologie aren't bad either):





I'd still like to find a few more wall accessories, and we also need to install the threshold in between the bathroom hexagon tile and hall:


The last thing I'd like to do is have a custom roman shade created for the window. Here are a few of the fabrics I'm considering:


I think I'm leaning toward the more colorful fabric in the large photo on the right, but I also really love the Dwell Studio fabric on the top left - what do you think? And does anyone know what fabric that is on the roman shade?

Thanks so much!

  4. Thanks! That's why we chose it - it seemed to be a good fit for our little 1930's home.

  8. I love it! The floral print shade really catches my eye, would look awesome with the paint color & yellow towels. Can you share the style#/Maker?

  9. Hey Lauren -

    I don't know if you ended up locating the name of the fabric on the roman shade, but Camila posted about it over on Effortless Style (http://blog.effortless-style.com/2011/08/weekend-recap-my-rug-arrived/) last week. It's Misia fabric by Manuel Canovas. Funny too, because I knew she used this fabric ages ago, and I searched all through her archives trying to find it, but was unsuccessful. So disappointed, but then here she goes and posts about it a couple weeks later!

  10. Thank you so much Carolyn! I hadn't gotten the name of the fabric, just a seller who wouldn't give me the name lol. I really appreciate the info!
