AfterWell, we have completed most of the work - whew!
I need to live with "it" before I add a few things, like a valance or no valance.
Baseboards need to go back on. Then some more touch up paint.
The reason I call this room the The Louvre is because of all the art work. My inspiration came from the Mona Lisa. I really liked the colors.
Noni guessed the name!
"Mona Lisa" - Leonardo de Vinci
"Gaining Momentum" - Jennifer RasmussonThis little easel will be changed out with different art work.
You probably are wondering about the tiara.
Our daughter wore this when she participated in a
Seattle summer celebration, as a Princess.
I wear it when I clean the bathroom! There is something about a tiara, and cleaning a toilet.

For those hard to reach places around the bathroom faucet, use a toothbrush, It gives a nice shine, too!
Hi Christine,
ReplyDeleteThe bathroom looks great. I really like the colors (and where you found the inspiration for the colors!).
I can just picture you cleaning the toilet in the tiara!!

Every queen needs a tiara even when she cleans the bathroom! The Louvre looks great. Love the colors.
ReplyDeleteWOW! It looks just great. I can certainly appreciate all of the hard work. My hubby and I recently finished our bathroom redo...reminds me I need to do a post on that. I love the tiara. Maybe I need to get one to make cleaning the toilet a little more enjoyable. Good Job!
ReplyDeleteThe tiara is hilarious, but the bathroom is totally beautiful. It turned out wonderful. The colors work wonderfully together. I agree totally with "living" with something for a while". Sometimes it just starts to speak to you!
ReplyDeleteChristine,
ReplyDeleteCheering from this peanut gallery! I just love it to pieces! Every detail is done to perfection! I'm not nearly as smart as Noni, I would have never thought of the name, however I think it is brilliant! How did you paint the cabinet? My friend Elyce, will often mow her lawn in a party dress and combat boots, so I totally get the tiara! Fantastic job! Dee Dee
To answer some questions:
ReplyDeleteYes, we painted the cabinet- hard but rewarding
Took out the huge mirror and Hollywood lights.
Replaced the light fixture but didn't get a picture.
Didn't replace the counter top or floor. Just everything else!
Oh, Christine! I LOVE the tiara part!!! Love it! I want one, too! LOL!
ReplyDeleteThe Louvre looks great! And, I am excited to have guessed the name... seems so appropriate. Ya'll did a great job!
I did this same project last year, so I know how much work it is! It looks just wonderful, Christine! :)
ReplyDeleteLooks great! Fantastic results.
ReplyDeleteCome see me.
ooOOHhhuhmmMMmm!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteIs what I said when I saw the before/after pictures. How nice!!
You're too funny with the Tiara...
Your new room looks warm and inviting. Wait . . . can a bathroom be inviting? I LOVE the look of a table lamp on the counter.
ReplyDeleteSuch a metamorfose! This new look is so so awesome. Cozy and warm!
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely day!

Absolutely love, love, love those black cabinets! They are to die for! I am planning to work on our upstairs bathroom this summer, and now I know for sure what to do with the cabinets!
ReplyDeleteGrins!
