Before+After: Eclectic Bathroom + giveaway!

bathroom-makeover5

I don’t know what I was thinking when I painted our bathroom dark purple. Okay actually I do know. I wanted it to be dark and cool so that when we took baths in the tub we could light candles, chill and max out–but ever since we finished painting it purple over two years ago I never truly loved it and I didn’t want to admit it to myself because painting it took forever and I got lazy. oops. But when we got back from Copenhagen I was like –that’s it! I’m done with the purple. I had it painted all white (well, Polar Bear by Behr actually)…

BEFORE

during
and then I spotted these renter’s wallpaper tiles from Hygge and West and pretty much fell in love. The design by Emily Isabella is directly inspired by the embroidered textiles from the Otomi people of Mexico. I LOVE Otomi embroidery and Emily’s take on it is fresh and fun. The tiles are removeable (perfect for rentals) and were pretty quick to install.

I’m not the*most precise* person in the world, and these old jungalow walls are pretty uneven but I felt like this pattern was very forgiving and that my little f*ck ups aren’t really noticeable.  I love the pop of calm pattern that the tiles add to the room and I’m happy I went with one of more neutral colors.

bathroom-makeover1

I added a lot of brass details including this sweet fly I found at Lawson Fenning which holds matches and has a little scratchy area on the wing to strike the match. Ya, I know. I get off on that kinda sh*t. :) I also put my incense sticks and bricks in tiny brass containers I found thrifting. On the wall, I hung the Jonathan Adler wall sconce from Euro Style Lighting, and the little vintage brass+glass cabinet was a birthday gift from my sister this year because she knows I collect these little curios. Thanks boo.

I found this yellow planter on Etsy a while back and fell in love with it. I put a Sansevieria plant in it, because the bathroom doesn’t get a lot of light during the day so I needed a plant that could thrive in low light. I also hung the face-silhouette-earring-holders that I found at the flea in Copenhagen. bathroom-makeover4

The towels are from Anthro (from last year but here are some with a similar vibe)

bathroom-makeover2

Another shot of the fly. I can’t help myself.

I got this fun, cushy, round bathmat at…wait for it…one of my favorite spots for bathmats…ROSS! Ha! Bet you weren’t expecting that huh? I am a secret Ross shopper especially for bathroom stuff. And the shower curtain is from Saffron Marigold.

bathroom-makeover-3

I added some Danish pottery to the mix…

bathroom-makeover6

And my hand full of turquoise rings is kinda the cherry on top. If I owned this place, I’d switch out the mirror and the sink hardware for something brass, too–but for now, this will have to do (and as long as we’re dreaming, I’d also add these tiles on the floor.) But besides my far-away homeowner dreams, I’m pretty thrilled with how bright and airy my new bathroom is. I bathe with Ida in here every night and now it feels so much more clean and fun.

    Have you ever thought about adding a little bit more than just your articles?
    I mean, what you say is fundamental and all. But think about
    if you added some great pictures or videos to give your posts more, “pop”!
    Your content is excellent but with images and videos, this site
    could definitely be one of the very best in its niche.

    Fantastic blog!

    The Monster Legends trainer may be designed by using a bug into the Facebook game that’ll not place your profile at stake thus leading you to definitely
    become the most well known Monster Legends player. Some from the first recorded stories involving dragons date returning to
    the Sumerian civilization, located involving the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers in a area once called Mesopotamia,
    which later became Persia, which is now better termed as
    Iraq and Iran.
