Author – Autumn (Janette)<\/em><\/h3>\n

Although it is one of the first rooms I pulled together after our move, I am just now getting around to revealing the completed guest bathroom. \u00a0For those of you who have not been with us throughout this process, Mr. Autumn and I down-sized to a townhouse with 3000 square feet. \u00a0We purchased it in December, worked with an architect to repurpose some of the spaces, had an amazing team to gut it and then completely remodel every inch and moved in May.<\/h3>\n

The guest bath was dismal. \u00a0I am not going to bore you with before photos, but we removed the aged wallpaper, put in a new tub, commode, carrara marble floors, new vanity, sink, lights, counter top, wainscoting, hardware, and solar tube sky light.<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The room is a small space, but it has room for everything one needs in a guest bath including a tiny linen closet. \u00a0We used the same marble that we put on the floor to surround the tub. \u00a0I made the extra-long shower curtain using indoor\/outdoor fabric. \u00a0It was very cost efficient and will hold-up in the dampness of a bathroom.<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We painted the room the same as the guest bedroom, Melted Butter by Behr, but we had Sherwin Williams match the colors. \u00a0The faucets are from the Victorian line by Delta. \u00a0We used the same faucet pattern throughout the house.<\/h3>\n


\n\"\"<\/a><\/span><\/h3>\n

If I had it to do again, the paneling would be higher, but we were out of the country when it was installed, and I wasn’t consulted. \u00a0This view is from the tub looking out into the guest room.\"\"<\/a><\/h3>\n

We had the floor installed on the diagonal. \u00a0What you can’t see here is that there are heating coils underneath so that it will be a warm surface to stand on in the winter. \u00a0All of the marble is honed so that it doesn’t have a high gloss.<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The counter top is honed black granite. \u00a0Some people call it brushed or sueded, but what it means is that it is not glossy. \u00a0We love the texture and used it in every bathroom and in our bar area. \u00a0One of the things I did not include in these photos is a shot of the solar tube sky light that is providing all of the light for these photos. \u00a0I am writing a separate blog entry about it\/them because we added three to the ceilings here.<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I didn’t want everything to be too matchy-matchy, and so, I mixed it up by just selecting this interesting mirror at Tuesday Morning to hang over the sink.<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Using layers makes an area look interesting. \u00a0I layered an old linen hand towel with a little dish, which is not really a soap dish, but it works well to keep the hand soap contained.<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The dish was a gift from my former neighbor.<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This container is a Waterford cookie jar that we bought at a charity silent auction. \u00a0It is really cute with cotton balls in it. \u00a0The swabs are in a little cream holder. \u00a0They were used in restaurants in the 1950’s and before.<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We bought this little hand towel in Jamaica, man.<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

These towels came from the Brimfield sale. \u00a0Love that place.<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

My 84-year-old mother loves to dabble in oils. \u00a0This was one of her first paintings. \u00a0She has taken some classes off and on but is pretty much self-taught.<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I love the way the yellow in the flowers matches the walls.<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0Here is a close-up of some little rose petals.<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0I use a reproduction sap bucket for the trash can.<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I simply painted it, and then I decoupaged something I tore out of a magazine.<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0I roughed up the edges and made sure to cover it with a glaze to add definition.<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I have had this little container for a while.<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It houses the tissues and extra t.p.<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I have a set of four of these prints, and they were in the upstairs hallway in our last house. \u00a0Now, I use only two of them, and they ended up in the guest bath. \u00a0One of the fun things about moving was to reuse some of my favorite pieces in new rooms and in new ways.<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Here is one more peak before I close the door. \u00a0If you would like to see other rooms I have revealed go here<\/a>, here<\/a>, here<\/a>, here<\/a>, here<\/a>, here<\/a>, and here<\/a>.<\/h3>\n

Take care.<\/h3>\n
