I LOVE THIS BATHROOM



This is the only "finished" room in my house - the guest bathroom. It all started with this tin/neon flamingo clock. I bought it for my dorm room on the way to college somewhere between Alaska and Montana. The colors from it inspired the pink and aqua theme with a vintage sort of feel. When the pink neon light is on, the bathroom lights clashed, so I replaced them with "blush" lights that give everything a softer feel.



A few items were bought and put in "as is":

-- Rugs, towels and soap dispenser from Target
-- Candles from Cost Plus World Market
-- Silk flowers from Michaels
-- Trash can from Bed, Bath & Beyond


Projects I did:

-- Magazine rack from Ross was originally green, I repainted pink
-- Tray from Michaels, painted aqua and mod-podged paper to bottom
-- Picture frames from Michaels ($1/piece, in the kids section!), painted and put in pink patterned paper
-- Butterflies above the magazine rack are various papers I had, created a template and cut them all out (idea from Ali Edwards, she used a punch from Martha Stewart Crafts)
-- Clothespins are covered in paper and hold postcards from Perspectives and cards I've received
