Finally!!!

Remember many moons ago I posted a ‘Before and After’ of a weekend project where I was going to redo a small bathroom in my home!? FINALLY, I can close the book on this 2 month long weekend renovation and boy am I so OVER this project!!! Don’t get me wrong, I am very happy with the outcome BUT the many accessory challenges I faced definitely tested my creative process. As so many of you have asked me many times over, “when are you going to share the AFTER photos”…..well take a look see and let me know what you think.

BEFORE

AFTER

These vintage 1920's marquee milk glass letters originate from an old movie house in northern Indiana.  Looking for an old men's room sign, I was lucky enough to come across these letters which make for a perfect urban art piece!

The vanity mirror is styled after old salvaged wood pieces with many different warm tones of brown.  The top ledge was large enough to hold a collection of old photo cards.

Unfortunately, the cracked wheat color of the walls are not true to form in this photograph or the others for that matter.  Imagine a crisp ironed pair of khaki men's pants.

Thanks to Los Angeles Interior Designer Brooke Giannetti and her incredible blog Velvet and Linen for the inspiration to choose a schoolhouse light fixture.  It really makes the room!  New crown molding was installed and notice the paint color in the mirror, that is almost the true color of the room.  Apparently I had too much lighting trying to be that professional photographer which I am far from!


A few collections sitting on the corner of the bathroom vanity gives the space a little character don't you think?

Now that this project is finished, it's time to start another.  It's never ending with Reynolds Still!  Thanks for coming into my home!

Best regards,
Reynolds

  3. Looks terrific. Love the pieces on your counter - especially the aviator goggles on the bust. Also really like the brushes in the apocethary jar - a great idea.
