Project of the Day & Bathroom Update

So we've been trying to get our bathroom to look presentable, and it's definitely been more work that I bargained for. So far we've painted the walls (tan), painted the cabinets (espresso), and updated the hardware/light fixtures with Oil Rubbed Bronze spray paint.

There's only one BIG project left to get the basics covered.

We're going to paint the bathtub. 

This is terrifying to me! The bathtub is currently a really gross maroony-purple, as well as the shower. It's a really ugly color, and now that the rest of the bathroom is a little more up-to-date, it almost makes the bathtub look even worse.

When I was at home depot getting cabinet paint, the women who was helping me suggested that instead of hiding the tub with curtains or spending thousands of dollars ripping the tub out and replacing it or remodeling around it, that I just paint it. I had no idea bathtub paint existed!



It's $41 a kit, and we'd probably need several kits to cover our huge tub, so I doubt that we'll get to it any time soon. We'll also probably test it on the outside of the shower first.

ANYWAYS.

With all that basically as done as it's going to be for now, it's time to figure out how to decorate the bathroom.

It's hard for me to spend money on decorations, especially for a bathroom, so I'm trying to make do with things that we already have at the house.

Jump in to see what I made to go in the bathroom today!









It's hard to get a picture of them, they actually look really nice in person. One is a small Tiffany bag and the other is a Frye tag off my favorite pair of boots.

The Tiffany bag is sandwiched between two glass frames (and I had to cut the back of the bag off to make it fit) and the Frye tag is nail glued (as in fingernails) onto the glass. I pulled the backs off of both of the picture frames to make them look extra pretty. 

I have so many more bags I want to do this with, and one day I'll probably move them to my closet wall or something since I have a lot of bigger bags that would overwhelm the bathroom.
