Laurie's Bathroom Redone


Since I was working on my living room today I decided that the girls bathroom needed some work on it too. So I dug out my fabric and I have to say I had a really hard time deciding on which fabric to use. I finally decided on some red fabric that I had used a couple of years ago. I had bought some red burlap type fabric that last time my mother was here and knew I wanted to use it. I bought that fabric even before our new bigger Joann's opened. The fabric has stripes on it and I thought it would make a great window treatment. I couldn't decide if I wanted a western theme in there or to do something else. I really want to used my western stuff somewhere but I chose not to use it in the girls bathroom. So I pulled my sewing machine out and went to work making button holes and hemming the edges that weren't cut well. Here's how it looks. The plant that is sitting on my sink is not staying there. I accidentally dropped it and everything spilled out of it. I have had that plant for over a year and it was a gift from my youngest daughter so I am hoping it will survive being dumped on the floor. I made the window treatment a little long and I had already put my sewing machine away so I folded the top over. I might get my machine out tomorrow and shorten it or I may not. Who knows. See the little rock on the shelf.

It's a red rock in the shape of a heart. Mike found it when he and the girls were out walking one day several years ago. I am a heart person. I love hearts. I mark my favorite Bible verses with hearts. I always have. So it was a sweet thing for him to find and give me.
This red fabric was actually a table cloth I bought on clearance at Wal-Mart a few years ago. I did this mosaic on my countertop a few years ago. It's not great but better than what was there before. I love my horse lamp! It's from Target and I had to find just the right box to ship it home from Texas. Well there it is and it didn't cost a thing. I'm glad I was able to use the beautiful picture that my mother sent me. I was able to have it mounted at Ben Franklin. Now to finish the living room. Here's a sneak peak. It's a mess but here it is. My camera needs a good cleaning. It's all spotty!Have a great weekend!
