a little before and after

I can hardly look at this before photo of our toilet room – so institutional and depressing. Repainting this room was on my to-do list for a couple years, and I finally got around to it recently.

We have a split bath, so this room now feels like a little underwater jewel box – I think because it’s so eensy.

That cartoon print is something my husband has from college in Dublin many years ago. The scenic drive print is from these fine folks. Next, I need to get my Broad print up somewhere – it’s from the same studio.

We picked up that little brass mirror for about $5 at an antique shop up north.

The ocean handstands are me, my sisters and my cousin during a particularly hilarious vacation, hurricane and all. I recovered the light-switch cover in about three minutes flat, courtesy of this book and project.

If you are looking to add a hit of color somewhere, you could do worse than the toilet room. It adds some surprise and opulence to an otherwise bland little corner. Painting was just the kick in the pants we needed to liven up the tiniest room.

I absolutely love that color blue! I've got it in my bedroom. And I am also in love with that ocean handstands picture! Lovely makeover.
