Not Horrible - but not what I wanted for this 1885 Bungalow! The Southwestern border just didn't fit with my style. So it was out with the old . . .
and in with the new. (There was MUCH more to it than just saying "in with the new". Both my husband and my son helped me immensely with this project!! I will be posting more about the bath re-do in a couple weeks)
There was some left over tile from this job, and this mirror looked sadly plain,
So, I enlisted the help of my 14 year old granddaughter (she's VERY artistic and I trust her judgment more than my own on these things!) Anyway, these were the little 1" tiles that you could easily cut apart, so we did a dry fit,
Then pulled up one section at a time and glued it down.
No grout or anything fancy - just Elmers.
And here she is - all hung up! I am very pleased with how this bathroom is turning out and can't wait to post the totally final project! (We have to do something creative with the floor as there was no flooring under the old vanity when we took it out - we have an idea though!)
I love the "old-fashioned" toothbrush holder and the old utility room faucet for the sink.
(And look at that sun beaming through the window!! It was a beautiful day here in the NW today!)I'm linking up to Metamorphis Monday
What a great job! I love the mirror it really added some pizazz. I have a dresser ready to strip to put in my bath so I'm anxious to see your transformation....
ReplyDeleteI love what you did here! Great makeover and who knew Elmer's could work instead of grout! =)

whoa! that turned out AWESOME! is that an old dresser used for your sink cabinet?! LOVE it. and super tiling job :)
ReplyDeleteNow that is a great idea for the mirror - it looks amazing with the top of the countertop (backsplash?!?!) Anyways, love it. As well as the "old fashioned" toothbrush holder - I love that too - brings back awesome memories of childhood! Thank you :)
