The Bathroom...adding some "chippy" charm...


For Mother's Day my sweet husband did some painting in our "Master" bathroom.  We went from green to an "aqua-like" blue.  It wasn't exactly the color I thought it would be based on that little paint swatch...but I just decided to go with it.  A bright happy color might be fun for a change??
Rather that talk through all the little details I thought I would just show you the "before and after" and you can play a little game of "What's different?" :) 





This was the last bit of green at our house....


Now I think the room coordinates better with the grays and neutrals of the rest of the house....




Of course lots of "chippy" touches.


I LOVE my new "towel holders".


And speaking of towels...


Are you a "match-y" towel person?
Not me...I like to mix and match colors and patterns.  I went with a black, white and grey scheme this time.


What do you think of my new foot hooks?


So that's it...
My tiny little "Master" bathroom.  Someday I dream of a claw foot tub and "spa-like" experience.  Then I remind myself I'm not really a fan of bathroom cleaning and I am thankful for what I have :)

Hinge Butterflies...


Well friends, I'm still in a bit of a "holding pattern" here...
I mentioned in my last post that I've been having trouble finding inspiration and motivation lately.  Not much had changed...I guess I'm just going to wait it out.  Hope you all will wait it out with me.


For now I thought I'd show you these butterflies I made from hinges.


A little wire and some embellishments...


Maybe a magnet for a picture?
Hmmm...makes me think of another idea from "way back when"...


Do you remember my HINGE FRAMES?


Be back soon...I hope!!
