Bathroom beauty

The topic of bathrooms is awfully interesting. Not that many years ago, people would never have spoken openly about the room in which they did such private things as taking a bath. After all, taking a bath is something that one does (gasp!) unclothed. People were glad to have a room inside the house for taking care of their private business, but they'd certainly never talk about that room.

Things have changed, haven't they? The rooms that were once small and used only for that private business have become real rooms to us--places where we're happy to spend time. Sometimes the only private time we get is in the bathroom!

Here's a look at our master bathroom. My husband's end of the room:

My end:


A glance at the water closet:

A few little details:

Seashells in a hurricane make an inexpensive yet pretty candle holder.


Rolled-up towels look pretty and are handy to the tub.

A re-purposed dining chair works well as a vanity chair.


This little table I re-finished adds a fun pop of color to the water closet.

There is one really special thing about our bathroom I'd like to show you. See the tub at my husband's end of the bathroom? The artwork above the tub is pretty special to me:


Can you guess what that painting is? My husband took some photos of me at the beach one year, like this one:

And then he sent the photo to allpopart.com and had them make it into a Lichtenstein-style portrait. Can you imagine? I was so flattered. We've been married 25 years now, and he still likes to take pictures of me! I'm glad this is the guy I share a bathroom with.

  14. The artwork is fabulous!!! What a treasure your hubby is... he realizes what a treasure you are! I made your pork roast recipe tonight for the first time (with a loin, not a tenderloin, so it took a "wee" bit longer to cook). It was yummy! Definitely a keeper!!! Blessings, beautiful lady!
