Wallah!!

Well, not quite "wallah!" because that would imply that this project took mere minutes and in actuality it took forever!! :) here are some pics of our recently remodeled bathroom. (See previous 2 posts for "before".) Still have to paint the ceiling a gold color and hang something on the wall and paint and put the shoe molding back but its mostly done. Tried to do this very budget friendly since the entire house has work to be done. We took the wallpaper down and painted the stained door a dark brown/ grey color.  Also, we painted the stained trim a light color which is the same color as the walls.  It lightened things up quite a bit.  We used curtains from our house in florida and the curtain rod was so kindly donated from my genius sister (Lindsey Hene Interiors) . I repainted the original cabinet that was in the bathroom and upholstered the cabinets (My sister's suggestion :0) with batting I had and a curtain I found at Lowes.  I really liked the pattern and it just happened to be the same color as my curtains.  Got the knobs at Anthropologie.....they were probably a bit of a splurge but I really liked them!  I also bought "feet" for the cabinet at Lowe's and David put those on for me.  The chandelier came from Ballard Backroom.  Got it an additional 50% off!  The most awesome part is the mirror!  I knew I wanted to use barn wood for something in there and I already had the mirror so we grabbed some barn wood from our barn and figured out how to hang it on the wall behind the mirror.  Have mentioned how BRILLIANT and AMAZING my hubby is??!!  Sooooo, I'm giddy over the fact that one room is actually somewhat finished!  I walked by it this morning and felt such relief to see that we now have a sink in the bathroom! Funny, the things you can get used to!  Let me know what you think!  Any recommendations for what to put on the wall??  I have some old surveys of our land and I was thinking about framing those but not sure.  The pictures aren't the best quality because the room is small and i had to take them with my phone because of the 2 little monkeys running around our house demanding breakfast this morning. (How dare them!  :0)
