Washroom Editing and Fluffing

 After any new decorating project is finished there is always a

number of things that get adjusted, and the washroom is no exception.

Before blogging I had never heard of the term "fluffing".

Fluffing is making things a little bit fresher and better.

 This project involved the tin wallpaper ceiling

 and changing up the finish on the cabinets.

A soft two tone distressed finished with a crown molding 

gave this room the shabby vintage feel I was looking for.

But some things weren't quite right.

This is a detail pic of the cabinet distressing and the knobs.

I painted and distressed these knobs in the Habbersham way!

 The mirror is now hung vertically so Mr. Maison can see himself.

I removed the large towel hanger 

and replaced it with a pretty shelf I found at an antique shop. 

The hand towel now hangs off of a bronze robe hook.

A decorative display for pretty bottles, some old, some new.

That tall green bottle was on a stone wall on 

the New Hampshire home we sold last year. 

It was filled with dirt and moss and is a fond reminder of our former home.

This is how it looked after I finished the wallpapering and cabinets.

Too much going on in that space...

Keeping a wooden box holds the things my family likes to leave

on the counter top. For the photo I have hand soap and a pretend vintage bottle,

but in real life the man soap in a can and the iPhone charger find there way

into this box and it keeps me happy.

 This box came from Hobby Lobby and it corrals countertop items.

A hooked rug of roses in browns and blues

 is perfect for this shabby pretty room.

Toilet pictures are not my favorite, I will say.

Blues and greens and galvanized metal are the common thread.

Decorating a toilet area~it has to be done.

The metal toilet paper holder came home with me from Hobby Lobby too.

The wall behind it needs to be painted, but this was a needed improvement.

The linen fleur-de-lis kitchen valance replaced 

the mosquito net drape I originally hung.

This is the before fluffing.

 I hated the placement of the toilet paper roll holder.

Who put that there??

Right under the window in such an important spot~

I couldn't find anything that would fit 

this shabby vintage washroom until I went to Hobby Lobby!

The other changes were adding the valance and the rug.
Here is a reminder of how far this room has come:

Yes, its the same room!
Ahh the power of paint and wallpaper.

And little adjustments that make it just right.
