Apartment 309 Bathroom Makeover

Pretty incredible that my small apartment has provided me with a great deal of enjoyment already in just trying to get the basic decorating in place.

Today the bathroom.  One of the things I loved about this apartment complex besides the fact everyone here is past the age of loud partying, fighting, and driving through the parking lot at speeds that make old folks like me shudder is the fact that my bathroom is designed for a wheelchair.  Thank God I am not bound to a wheelchair but the advantage is a wide door and a bigger than normal bathroom for an apartment this size.

Here is the empty and blank bathroom before I began adding my personal items and touches of color.

It was important to maintain my budget and give it a new look utilizing as many things in my possession as possible.  So picking up some inexpensive towels and a couple of rugs helped me decide to make a topper for the shower to give it a softer look in the room.

Without windows in the room I thought going soft and gentle with colors would be a nice touch instead of the dark shades I had previously.  I felt very fortunate to find a rug that had all of the colors I wanted to use and purchased that first.  From there on it was match some towels, pick a fabric for a topper and at Hobby Lobby I found a trim for the curtain with all three of the colors :)   Just was meant to be right.

Sometimes you have something special and that is true of this beautiful wreath.  I purchased it seven years ago and paid $80.00 for it so I wanted to get my money out of it and feel like I have already done that.  However, this wreath just never get’s tiresome and it has always been in my bedroom.  I found the perfect home for it here and it looks like new!  The beautiful jar of potpourri makes a nice compliment to the rooms colors for a finishing touch.

Only one room to go blogger friends.

    Freda,
    It is all you hoped for…and it translates on camera, which doesn’t always happen. So very pretty!

  2. I am amazed how everything in this room came together so beautifully. I love it!

    This is nice and you’re right about keeping it light…makes the room look bigger, I think. Also, did you make a mock window? I know you said you had none, but it looks as if there is…I like it!

    You’re a very good decorator. You should help me ;-) I’ve got a hodgepodge of everything I like, but it’s cozy and it’s mine ;-)

    Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours :-)

    BTW: you have a very bossy website/webpage…once it told me that I didn’t write a long enough comment and just now it told me, get this? You’re posting comments too quickly – slow down! How about that?
