The steps below follow the order of the work for this workshop project.
Here is another great updated builder mirror upgrade from, {Show & Tell} go look at her solid-ness!
Recently i decided to change up my 1/2 bathroom just a little. I had a cute old 4 pane window above the toilet that i put different fabric in each of the panes, but since i repainted the bathroom a while ago it just wasn’t working. And i totally could of just changed out the fabric but i was ready for a change, and plus i wanted to make a book wreath (like everyone else, i know) and this was a good spot to put it! Before..(the walls are not this color at all, they are a light “mocha” color – don’t know what happened with this pic?) Then i made a book wreath – sorry no pictures of the “making” of said wreath – but just google it and they are everywhere I really like the wreath but it needs something, i think maybe it needs to look like its hanging from something – the “fake hang” – i don’t know, but i’m crafty like that so i will figure it out and as soon as i do i will post a pic – for sure. In real life it really doesn’t look there is a mile between the mirror and the toilet – just so ya know The wreath is clearly fun and clearly HUGE (you think i like the word clearly?!) I used a 14 in styrofoam wreath form and then just a standard size book, so by the time i got all the pages on it was HUGE – seriously. But i love it…the only thing i did different than a lot of the tutorials is that i fanned the pages and then used a teeny little pin to stick the pages to the wreath, along with hot glue (the hot glue was taking to long to dry and i am impatient). Across from the toilet is the sink/vanity – and yes you can look at yourself in the mirror, fix your hair, whatever it is that you may want to do all while your doing your thing This was also another standard builder mirror that i framed up (you can see the last one here). I didn’t take a before pic – sorry. I went with a really direct frame, just 4 pieces of MDF and then a little piece of crown to finish it off. I sanded all the edges before gluing it to the builder mirror. When i re-did this bathroom i put up bead board panels about 3/4 of the way up the walls and painted them with a semi gloss white. And for the little kiddies that like to check themselves out in the mirror, i found this $2 stool @ the DI and painted it white, sanded it and stamped it with some leftover paint from my room – very cute So, that’s another room in my house, still a couple of things that i need to do, and i still don’t like the paint color but that’s another project for another dayNice Job!
I really need to tackle
my little powder room.
