"Meet Me In The Bathroom" That's What She Said

This is my bathroom before Bathroom Makeover 2008 took place:



When we moved in, Shawn "did" the bathroom. He hates bottles in the shower, so he put up the shelf beside the shower. I hated it. I hated how everything was out in plain sight (my bright red shampoo bottle is attractive, no?) I hated that the shelf got all mucky from shampoo leakage. I also hated the giant picture he put up just because it fit exactly in that space. And yes, that is a clear shower curtain. Well, shower curtain liner to be precise. One day, when I'm not crazy, we will have a real shower curtain. Until that day comes, we need a fully transparent shower curtain so that no-one can sneak up on me when I'm in the shower (I've never even seen Psycho so I have no idea where this came from.)

This is our bathroom after the redo:

Please note the mismatched towels. We've got a set of matching towels on our wedding registry and I think that having matched towels will be the thing that makes us feel like real grown ups. Can't wait.

I wanted to paint the bathroom red but I really didn't want to commit to doing 4 coats (I didn't know about tinted primer! Gah!) So it's green. It's a bit more minty than I wanted but I'm still happy with it. Do you love the tulip picture? I got it from Angella's Etsy store. And the shampoo bottles? In the shower (wahoo!) and replaced by lovely vanilla-scented candles.
PS: This is my 100th post! Yay me!
