And...I assured you that wasn't blood all over my hand!!!
Nope....it's RED PAINT....actually the color is "CEDAR CHEST"!And...I....LOVE IT!!!
The room is sooo much different....a little darker, which I probably don't like as well...but I'm lovin' the color!!!I told somebody it makes me look like I have a tan when I look in the mirror!!!
So...without further adieu...here goes.
First of all....here's the tile work up around the bathtub. I did this several years ago. The larger 6" tile came from Knox Rail Salvage...and we bought EVERY SINGLE ONE THEY HAD IN STOCK. I would have really liked to have had more...but had to make these work. The "mosaic" pieces of tan, green and red came from....I think Home Depot. But the bad thing was...even though they were on a mesh strip...the space was too narrow for it to just lay right in there...so....I had to take tile nippers and break them into pieces...and lay each of those little pieces in there...one by one!!! It took F-O-R-E-V-E-R!!! At the time, Pappy was working second shift...and Jess had just gotten married....so I was home alone every night...and this is what I did...tiled above the tub in the bathroom...and also underneath my kitchen cabinets. I might share that with you some time in the future!!!
But...I've always liked how this bathroom turned out! I'm showing you this so you'll understand where the idea for the red came from!!!Shelf before....and the green walls. The mess at the top is from taking down the wallpaper border...sorry you didn't get a "before" of that....trust me...you didn't miss a thing!!!
This is the shower curtain that was in there when the bath was green. It's pieced like a quilt.
Here's a pic of the new shower curtain....and a glimpse of the rug. The chair belonged to Pappy's Papaw...and it holds "reading material" for the potty!!
This is the "after" pic of the shelf. Pappy made that shelf for me several years ago!!! The only other thing I'm thinking about adding is an old window that came out of the house I grew up in...and hang the wreath on it
(thanks, Jess, for the idea!!!)
I know that paneling probably very much dates our home...but I love the bead board. One of these days...when I get up the nerve....I'll probably paint it and "antique" it!!! (hey...did you notice what's on the towel?!?!?)So....that's that about that!!!
Whatta 'ya think about my new red bathroom?!?!?!?

Well I love the bead board! Outdated? Bead board never goes out of style. Your bathroom is very elegant and pretty.

I do like the red--nice and homey!! I have always found that red walls feel cuddly to me! Like the tiles you did too.
ReplyDeleteWe have beadboard in one of our dining rooms. It is on my header. This house was built in the 40's and the beadboard was always painted.
Oh this is lovely. I love that color red, and the beadboard is really nice. The showercurtain, everything is so well put together. It's perfect, thank you so much for sharing. It's great inspiration!!
