Bathrooooooms

bathroomi.
It's prolly the KILZ. That's some heavy duty nasty killz-me chemicals. But if we want a pretty bathroom, one must suffer.
First the Kilz, then the paint. 
So, drugged from the chems, I goooogled "bathrooms".
This is the first pic that showed up on gggggoooogle images. Google knows me. Google knows what I like.

from Brad Feld. He is rich and invests in companies and lives in Denver. And likes bathrooms. We are a great match.


House Beautiful has a slideshow. 
as I scroll thru I see stripes. I see Toile. Big fan of both.
But, I won't (maybe) combine them in my bath decor. Hmm, we'll see.
The other thing I think about...is that...I can't change anything. I'm stuck with what I have. My stupid tub. My nasty nasty sink cabinet. All of it.
I'll never have a home again where I can change things. This is not a happy feeling. Therefore I obsess on the things I can.
Paint.
Towels.
Curtain.
Soap.
Mirrors.
Pictures.
Sublimation.....The Renter's best drug. Next to Vodka.





English style.
That table turned into a sink cab....is really dumb. It looks all wrong. And I do not like sinks on top of the counter. Splashy splashy. Clean, clean, clean. But other than that...pretty cute.

Bathroom re-do.

The bathroom...needs a re-do. With its Reagan-era golden oak accessories, the moldy plastic shower curtain, the hopeless goopy caulk...What's a renter to do?
It's never easy as a renter...always 20 days away from being homeless, living with the bottom of the barrel fixtures, cheap materials, and installers that had no talent for design, carpentry, plumbing or painting.
And, it's easy, EASY, to decorate a big house, but in a tiny house......Every trick I know about making it all look lovely and doing it on the cheap.....to create Delicious Home Gumbo from the Pig Ears and Chicken Shit that I have to work with, and what 99% of renters have, for their "Befores"....
I need Inspiration !!
Good ol' Apartment Therapy..........look !

Here's some pretty pictures....I gotta choose the wall color first and then everything else will be Easy-Peasy. Bye bye mold, gloom and doom !
 Once I get going........then you'll see my BEFORE picture....and the AFTER. It's bad. So So bad.


OOooooooo......Clean bathrooms. Pretty pictures.
I love the pale serene calm.... of course....
having beautiful vintage fixtures is very helpful but I don't have that as starting point.






This is tasty ! like French Vanilla ice cream... & I do have a black and white floor...so, this is a possibility. Of course, this room is exactly the same size as my whole house !






I like this little charmer too. All white with a happy pop of color.






White and gray and skulls! White, silver and gray. 





and now for something entirely different !






and if we decide to move into Outer Spaaaaace, this is perfect!





Add 100 orchids, ferns, palm trees and a rocking sound system, this is very near my dream.
