Good Saturday Morning everyone!
We finally made an appointment for the real estate agent to come on Tuesday evening - and now panic mode has set in..............
Although this was to be the year that the bathroom got gutted - ( and I can't tell you how much I hate it - really really hate it ) and transformed into an all white mini paradise - marbles - ceramics - an antique dresser painted white for the sink ( sitting in storage waiting - just waiting ) - and a chandelier - it's not going to happen now obviously,
So I had to work a little magic into what is there ( which is orange - ugghhh - I could just puke - really! )
The one redeeming factor is that it has an antique claw foot tub - so I decided to dress it up with proper drapes ( instead of shower curtains - this is something I've done in most of my bathrooms - such a small thing but it can make a big impact )
They're a taupe color - so I also hung up a " print " which has taupes and oranges in it as well
I slipped the " rings " through the gommets first and then put the shower curtain on the same ring...............
This is a " floating " rod - so the drapes had to go all the way around - 4 panels
I found this wood piece in the inside of the Parisien box I made HERE
and thought it looked better than the silver one I had - in color anyway
added some " rusty " colored hydrangeas
hung up a creamy capiz shell candle sconce
and at the end of the day, guess what??????????
it's still pretty gruesome LMHO - but not AS gruesome
after all it has drapes and artwork gracing it now..................
And maybe - just maybe - I'll get my white marble bathroom in the next house!
After all the toilets and bathtubs I've scrubbed on my hands and knees in my life time - I've earned
my marble.................
John says - What the hell are my prints doing in the bathroom ?
Suzan says - I needed to spruce that horrible room up a little
John says - Those prints are from England - they're by a renowned artist Suzan - they don't belong in a bathroom
Suzan says - Says who?
Suzan says - Why can't people have something nice to look at when they're sitting in the bathroom?
John says - Can't you find something cheap to hang up there?
are you ready for this?
John says - They're going to end up with urine all over them
WTH?????????????? OMG - if that bathroom made me want to puke before...................
Suzan says - Aim a little lower John - just aim a little lower.
( I had a couple of custom pieces delivered last night - will post about it on Monday!
Have a great Saturday :)
Much love,

Garden magic - take me away
Good morning all!
At the risk of my blog becoming a " dark " place after yesterday's post - today's is going to be about Garden Love - and happy places..................
I close my eyes and soon I find
I'm in a playground in my mind................
and if the wine and the good food and the sunshine make you just a little sleepy - you're more than welcome to take a nap
and I'll just be over here cutting some fresh lavender for you to bring home
Here you go - I packed a few extra
All of the above images can be found on my boards as follows
Garden Gates
Garden & Porch Swings
Al Fresco
Secret Gardens
Beautiful Gazebos
Have a wonderful day everyone!
Hugs,

I close my eyes and soon I find
I'm in a playground in my mind................
And my playground is called Pinterest
Have I redeemed myself yet?
How about if you come over and have a bite to eat with me ?
