Kelly has been hosting a home tour of bloggers and YALL, it is huge, i cant believe how many people link to it..i can never look through them all but it is fun. I have missed nearly every room in the house but i am going to jump in on the bathroom tour (not sure what that means)…i tried to find or scan a picture of how my baths looked for the

Better Homes

pictures in 2005 but no luck (with the scanner or a picture) but the master bath (which is the non toile one) was a mint green and had CARPET (not to mention the PAINTED formica counter tops, yes i am serious and still no tile)..i was horrified they even wanted to photograph it, i was like “uh really??” amazing how they did not “cover” things i thought were great and then focused on areas i was not really comfortable with;; thats showbiz i guess…ha!

After Drew was born, i painted the master bath SW hopsack and I LOVE THIS COLOR, i have used it in several clients spaces since..it looks like caramel candy being cooked-yum!

So i am posting two baths, neither fancy, both have vinyl square floors from Lowe’s which are impossible to keep but very cute..the ruffle shower curtain is from TJ Maxx (it is a calmer version of the ruffle shower curtain they used to have at Anthropologie;;) the matelesse shower curtain is peacock alley and is 10 years old..it was such a splurge when we were newlyweds but it has really held up..love it (again with the borax;;)(and the checked ribbon lowers it to the floor to cover the tub)

people always ask me about toile being trendy and “on the way out”..this is the basic “country life” toile by Waverly..i had it in our very first house 10 years ago and again here (and i have drapes out of it in red in the living room)and i never get tired of it..maybe just me.

sorry for the lack of good pictures, this “dirty mirror” picture shows the light in the little toile bath..no wide picture in my files;( …and no that is not a current picture of my face, it is much “fuller” now at 8 nearly 9 months pregnant!;;
enjoy!
