“Things you can hang on a wall” for $200, Alex
Wouldn’t it be crazy to write an entire post consisting of questions? Like the answers on Jeapardy? Wanna try it? Am I up for the challenge? How could I not be?
What do you put in the big blank spot above a vanity?
Well wouldn’t a mirror fill the spot? And did you know that Hobby Lobby has cheaper mirrors than any home improvement store? Esepcially large round mirrors with a beveled edge? And that The Hob Lob also has these 50% most of the time? Isn’t this one well worth $45?
Could wiring be any easier with mustard and sweet tea on hand? weird? How fast can you say um yeah?
Could I love the red undertones with the dark wood frame any possibly more than I do? And doesn’t it look good with the dark finish of the lights?
Isn’t the scale of the mirror pretty good too? Do you remember when Nate Berkus said that I was good with scale? Could my head get any bigger with one little comment? Do I still repeat that quote to Jeremy numerous times a day? And do I use it in reference to judging body parts? Do I need to answer that?
Oh and do you see that reflection in the mirror?
Wanna closeup? Remember these framed art pieces that used to live in our old guest bedroom? Don’t the red fabric mats look just smashing with the red vanity?
And isn’t it crazy how the floor doesn’t seem so ‘blood-shmeary’ now? Doesn’t it almost fade into the background?
And isn’t it an amazing transformation so far? Isn’t it crazy what we did for $136?
Wouldn’t it be cute to finish off the room with some other wall decor though? Maybe you could suggest something that would fit with our equestrian look?
p.s. I think Alex Trebek would be proud of this post. Sean Connery however would say “Moo”….you may only get that joke if you watch too much SNL :)
Was this the post awesomely amusing? Can you ever have too many questions? Yes and no. hahaha love it, Katie!
Hey…the bathroom looks amazing. I love the item on the right side of the sink that appears to be holding a towel. It reminds me of a cake stand. Super cute idea!!! I would love to have one painted a bright color for a child’s bathroom or something:)
Whoa- totally missed the first sentence my first readthrough. I think I will be thinking in questions all night long! We actually have a tiny bathroom which started off like yours, but w metallic gold “cracks” or something as well. My goodness is that a whack choice color paint for a wall – we painted ours yellow, but your bathroom is so dreamy! Gonna have to show the hubs for a future redo (not near, but still)!
Alex: “this word is used to express approval, mainly via shouting”
Answer: “What is BRAVO, Alex”
YAY no more ground beef. Air 5. Whoot Whoot. Fab job Bowers
Katie, you are awesome! I love how a little bit of effort goes such a long way! You are an inspiration.
How about some towel racks made from horseshoes…something like this you could make really easy! (http://www.kaboodle.com/reviews/equestrian-room-decor-2) ?
An old white pitcher on the sink may be a nice touch (not that you would actually have to pour the water from there to wash, but, well you get the idea!
A rope hanging somewhere??
Maybe some sort of rustic, metal star?
A wagon wheel…or is that a bit too country?
And for laughs…
” Mr. Reynolds has apparently changed his name to Turd Ferguson.”
“Yeah, that’s right. Turd Ferguson. It’s a funny name.”
LOVE the bathroom so far!
Love love love it! Couldn’t be more perfect! Good job Katie.
Very niiice… that mirror is yummy! And reading an SNL Sean Connery reference first thing in the morning is sooo my cup of tea
This is one my favorite posts of yours ever! (and I love that SNL skit
We have finished 3 out of 4 bathrooms. They just amaze me. And I could keep touching them up every day. We have many rooms to go. . .and miles to go before I sleep.
Did you say $136? Am I impressed? Could anyone NOT be impressed? Shall Katie Bower be named Queen of Chic-and-Cheap Bathroom Transformation?
haha. these question comments kill me
xo – kb
I was in an antique shop recently and saw on old rider’s helmet. Ya know, like the little black velvet kind..that would be pretty adorable to hang from an over sized, old ,rustic looking nail!
Your transformation already looks amazing! That before was AWFUL!! What a horrible thing to have done to such a gorgeous house!
Love what you’ve done. I found some old equestrian/horse bit thingys at an antuque market and you can use those to hang ont he wall and hang towels. It would have been a much more relevant comment if I had a link…
We were looking for Bow Wow, or Ruff.
