the materpiece, Bowie-style

The bathroom has been finished to about what we want it to be finished by. What I mean by this is that we definitely did not remodel the bathroom--same toilet, same sink and vanity, same tub. But we did update it to be a bit more pleasing than when we moved in. There isn't half put up crown molding that hasn't been stained, mirrors with most of the backing gone, dingy disgusting floor, wallpaper on half the walls and partially ripped off. We painted the walls with a textured paint to cover some of the scars of wallpaper removal (grrrrr), painted the vanity and added new handles, installed a new light fixture with cute sconces and rehung the mirror, scrubbed the floor for about 2 hours with a small grout brush and the magic eraser, and updated the towel bar/toilet paper holder/etc for the room. It looks a bit plain I admit, but I'm in no hurry to make it feel like home with the finest of my decorator abilities. All of our inspiration came from the shower curtain that D bought about 2 years ago that is hanging there, and the rug I found at Target for $5 or less. All of the materials probably cost about $175.
