~ The Vintage Bathroom ~


It's really just a nod to a vintage feel.
I want all the modern amenities......
I'm not crazy !!




Vintage dresser reborn as bathroom vanity





Mr. Wonderful put a fabulous finish on here using
Minwax Helmsman meant for marine use
So it can stand up to pretty much anything 
I throw at it.


Sorry about the blurry pic  :(








Gotta have a little bling.
I try not to have too much silver as I don't have a full staff
of servants at my disposal to keep everything polished .
And since I don't have enough gumption to do it but twice a year I try to keep it to a minimum. but I do love to have a few pieces here and there, to give me the look 
and feel I'm after. 







One of my favorite pieces,
passed down from Mr. Wonderful's side of the family.
She is my Blue Lady






Darling little vintage chandelier





close up of the ceiling. Everyone always asks me about it.
It's wallpaper. I love the 3-D bronzey look of it



My own little corner of the world.
The female equivalent
of the 'work bench' 



Vintage, or Traditional
French Country or Modern
The most important part of the bathroom is .......
A BATHTUB that begs to be filled with bubbles!!!
Taking a long hot bubble bath is more than a luxury for me.
It's practically a necessity. 
It's how I decompress from the week.
It's where all my inspiration lives.
I did a whole post on my love of a good bath. 
You can check it out here


Enjoy

  1. Hi, Terri -
    Thanks for the tour of your bathroom! I love that it does not look like a typical bathroom. Full of vintage and one-of-a-kind items, it is full of charm and character. The dresser / vanity is perfect for that niche.
    Happy spring!

  3. Hi Terri, I think the vintage vanity is perfect ! I think it gives much character to this lovely space...very feminine, but not cute, and the black and white checked floor so unexpected here....there is something warm and welcoming about vintage pieces...N.xo

  6. I'm always impressed by the fact that you see these rooms in your mind completely finished...then you set about finding the items. I just can't work that way but I wish I could. Your method pays off, that's for sure! It's about time I get to see it again...hmmmmmmm???
