Someday Decorating: Master Bathroom Edition.

We have a very modest bathroom by HGTV standards.  We do have two sinks, but we do not have:

• a separate shower  
• a spa tub 
• heated floors
• marble counter tops
• anything fancy at all!

Sure, a fancy bathroom would be nice, but honestly--I would much rather have a great craft room than a fancy master bathroom.  Having said that, it would be nice if our current bathroom was a bit prettier. 
I will be painting very soon and the color I have picked out is Sherwin William's Netsuke.  It's a creamy ivory.  I'll also switch out our wire shelving with some wooden shelves (the next time my carpenter visits). 

But, someday...I would love to have new tile floors like this:

Next, I would paint our vanity dark brown thanks to inspiration in this post from Centsational Girl:  http://www.centsationalgirl.com/2011/01/budget-bathroom-makeover-linky/


I'd replace the faucets with something like this:

...and then I'd pick out some new cabinet knobs:

I'd switch out the light fixture with something like this:

 pick out a new shower curtain:

and some cushy towels:

...and, finally, super-soft bath mats like these:

I'd wrap things up with some thrifty finds and some handmade artwork and then I'd call it done...at least for a little while.

Someday Decorating: Master Closet Edition.

Let's play make-believe...


If I had extra money right now, here are some additional changes that I would make to our master closet.
I would look for a closet organizer along these lines:

I would look for a light fixture that would look better than what we have, but wouldn't call attention to our very-off-center closet light (I'm pretty sure that whoever installed our light fixtures was wearing a blindfold at the time).  Maybe something like this:

 I'd continue bathroom tile into the closet...something along these lines:

 Then, I would cozy it up with a pretty rug like this:

A hamper and some storage:

And, of course, some pretty wooden hangers:

And then I'd call it done...at least for a little while!
