Mom's New Bathroom

The first picture isn't the best. I should've turned off my flash, but I wanted to get a picture of the window at the top of her cabinet. The cabinetry turned out just like she wanted. She also got extra pieces to make the other doors with the windows too. Mom has been waiting very patiently to have this bathroom redone. Actually 2 years. The fellow that was suppose to do it never showed up. He gave her an estimate they agreed upon and he never returned. Who knows. Anyway she snatched up the same guy that did my roof. It took him around 2 weeks to take the old subway tile off the walls and add tile to the floor and around the tub. She still needs to find a window treament and get a little darker rug. I think it turned out very well. This is her guest bathroom by the way.

I suggested the greenery. There's just something about having a plant in the bathroom.

We found these prints at the Home Goods Store in St. Louis. I really like them on this wall. Depending on the light, the paint color looks like a soft gold/yellow. Some of the pictures makes the paint look like a cream color.


She had to improvise with the mirror. We looked everywhere for a mirror and couldn't find one. Lo and Behold, just north of us in Kirksville, she ordered one through a furniture store much cheaper than anywhere else.

I'm not big on venetian blinds only because they bore me and I do not like to clean them. Although I suggested a wooden venetian blind to match her woodwork or a shutter to cover the window. Either one would look good there I think.

Here's what Reynaldo thought of the whole thing. He didn't get to see it, I just told him about it. Apparently he had other things on his mind.
