How to change a bath in under 2 hours
Right before I left for NYC I removed
all of this from the kids bath.
It had served the kids and their friends
for many years, but I was ready for a change.
So I shot a pic of the complete set, sent a for sale notice
out to my friends and sold it all
including the matching tissue boxes,
and it now occupies a friend's kids bath.
(The kids and I enjoyed dinner out on the proceeds.)
Today I decided to see what I already had in
the house to get a start on the new ivory based
room and 1 hour later ...
The double wire basket used to hold
breads or fruit during parties.
The jars came from the pantry.
The lamp was in the garage.
Borrowing from other rooms and the linen
closet I have a very good start.
The shower curtain is 2 burlap curtains
from Ballard that once hung in a bedroom.
The room definitely needs some tweaking.
The burlap needs some pressing and the
pictures need to be hung lower. I plopped on
existing nails. But in under an hour,
it is a good base.
A few more vintage finds and the room
will be just fine.
Sometimes you just need to BEGIN
Remember my word for the year?
What do you want to change?

That's a great redo if I've ever seen one! It all looks so pretty! Sure wish I could change some things around in our house, but with it being on the market now for 15 months, I'm kind of in a holding pattern.
Beautiful makeover, you quick change artist, you!
Presto chango Z! Well done!
Job well done!! It's nice someone else was able to use all of your old bath stuff for their kid's bathroom.
I love your changes. And I'm impressed you had all that stuff on hand!!

Remarkable and well done!
Oooo, very nice! Love the change. But I have to admit, I liked the old bath too. You have great taste. Kit
I love it Z. So romantic and simple. The burlap fits in so nicely also. I've been wanting to get some from Ballards....wish the stuff wasn't so hard to sew with or I would do it myself(with all my spare time...LOL)
wishing you a wonderful week:)

Hey can you come over and do this to mine???? You do it sooo well Z.
sending big hugs (and a plane ticket)
very nice...you won't need much tweaking at all!
Thanks for the sweet gift I got in the mail today...I love it and am still quite fascinated in how you did that!
Love it. Love how you shop from your own house - see things by differnetly and show that geography can have an impact.
I want to change my kitchen and bedroom next. I just need my husband to live in a different province for a few weeks,,,
very inspiring Z, you're so right, sometimes we have to 'just do it'. Great result

PS Are you running Project Genesis this month? for once I have an idea!!

Great shots Suzan.. and love the black accents...

Looks awesome!
Now I know what to do when it snows AGAIN on Friday!
Gosh, it all looks great, before and after! I really like the lamp by the sink. I've started adding lamps to the mantle and book shelves but don't think I would have thought to add one by the sink. Nice touch.
What a nice change!
P.S. My package arrived! Thanks for the quick turnaround. I love the 'em.
that's fantastic !
i redecorated the kids bath once they were all moved out and i love it.
it's very eclectic and other than new towels and a shower curtain, i did like you and found everything else i needed already somewhere else in my house...mostly in strorage living a sad little life.
That's FAB! I am loving the wired baskets that usually hold fruit. I think I will have to use this idea! Visiting from WW.

Most wonderful!!! Still room for me up on the counter, so it's a two paws up kind of wonderful!!! Sure wish "she" would work that quickly!! Sometimes "she" can do it and sometimes "she" redoes a vignette or room so many times, I can't even remember where it all began! Seriously!
We are so glad to hear that you are going to NYC!!! That makes me heart soar! Enjoy the days!
Purrs!

making decorating changes,even something as simple as moving the furniture around can really make me feel great....change is good and what you did in an hour is great. I love to see items repurposed. It really got me to thinking about some searching in my own basement and making a few changes =)
I love it. My kind of makeover, use what you have!
