The Vanity

I love the idea of taking an old dresser and making a sink vanity out of it.  I also love the idea of using the vanity we currently have, painting it white and distressing it, taking off the two doors under the sink and replacing with a curtain.  I love that look.  Possibly a stenciled grainsack painters drop cloth or some striped ticking fabric.




I also know that I want some exposed storage for towels (mostly white towels) and I absolutely love the egg basket for holding toilet tissue.  Also love the jars for holding bars of white soap, white qtips and white cotton balls.  The very pale duck egg blue looks great on this cabinet.

Thoughts a many........

Just starting to put some thoughts together about how I'd like our cottage bathroom to look. There's no claw foot tub or grande ceramic tile showers, but I think we can make it look great.

Currently what we have to deal with is:
An oak colored vanity - If we keep this, I will chalkpaint and wax.  A very pale neutral color and perhaps even white.  New knobs and drawer pulls of course to coordinate with the faucet.

The vanity sink top should be replaced as it's stained.

The faucets are ugly brass EWWWWW!  I definitely would replace the faucet.  Need inspiration pics.

New commode - need inspiration pics

New shower/tub - I would love to have a walk in shower and get rid of the tub.  We'll see. Currently there is a very ugly brass shower door.  This will definitely go.  I'd much rather have a pretty shower curtain.

The cabinet over the toilet is currently oak colored and would be painted if kept.  I might possibly remove the doors and use as open shelves for pretties.

New floor covering -

The walls are already bead board 3/4 of the way up with sheet rock at the top.  I probably will paint the beadboard bright white and maybe even the sheet rock.  If not, the sheet rock will be a very pale color.  Maybe gray.

I love fluffy white rugs but my hubby tends to take dirty feet in the bathroom so he'll need training or else we'll have to go with a colored rug.


A New Bathroom Plan

This blog is designed to keep plans, ideas, photos and thoughts in one place.....Designing a beautiful cottage bathroom on a budget.
Love, love, love white pitchers.  So simple,
but so beautiful.  Keeping colors very neutral
with splashes of color here and there.
