Framed Fabric

Wednesday, February 15, 2012

I recently decorated a bathroom that had yellow, green, blue and red striped wallpaper.  The bathroom has great wall space and definitely needed some wall art.  I couldn't find any art that would go with the wallpaper...then I remembered seeing projects where people framed fabric, perfect!

I found similar colors that matched the wallpaper...I wanted to use florals to compliment the stripes! 

I bought two antique inspired gold frames from Ross-$9.99 each
and the fabric at Ikea...around $4.99 a yard

It was so easy and I love the finished product!...Take a look!

1 day Bathroom makeover

Wednesday, May 4, 2011






In a previous post I showed you how I decorated my bathroom...Well I was tired of it and wanted a more sophisticated/clean look.
Here's what I did:
1. Decided that I wanted a black and white bathroom
2. Painted over my pink wall with white
3. Painted the wood cabinet with white paint...first sand the wood, wipe it off, then paint!
4. Changed the color of the counter top...(I don't know how to do this myself) but you can just google local counter top "re-finishers" and find out what colors they have and prices.
5. Just by changing the counter top and wood color already gives the bathroom a completely different look.
6. I already had the over the toilet shelf (found at dumpster) and the white shelves I had already put up (Ikea)
7. I just bought a few black and white accessories to decorate with all at Ross and Dollar Tree.
AND done! This took a day to change the look and have a completely new bathroom!

Funky Bathroom

Monday, June 21, 2010





I had makeup, hair products, perfume, etc. scattered all over between my bathroom, bedroom and closet. So I wanted it all in my bathroom, the place I actually get ready and I wanted it to also be fun.
I found this hutch behind a dumpster, cleaned it and it's the perfect storage area (the white hutch over the toilet). I wanted all my hair products where I could see them all, depending on what I needed for my hair...so I got white shelves at Ikea and drilled them in the wall...one shelf is hair care, the next lotions and the next perfumes...I also added random stuff to them, like picture frames that I like to look at.
I wanted my bathroom to be happy and not boring (like me) because if you think about it, you spend a good amount of time in the bathroom...or at least I do lol...anyways...I was so tired of makeup bags (except when I travel of course) so I bought a piece of aluminum at Lowe's, nailed it to the wall, bought round magnets, glued them to my makeup and shazam...I have a makeup wall :-)
Next I just got a small shelf for the corner, where I keep brushes, combs, curlers, straighteners and magazines!
The Pink paint was free (by asking around for extra paint) I just painted the main wall that the sink is at...oh and the mirror was just brown i just painted polka dots on it and used glitter...I got the mirror at Salvation Army!
This is a very quick, easy and inexpensive way to decorate with what you already have...makeup, hair stuff, lotion, perfume! Instead of trying to hide it all, just decorate with it all!
