Happy Monday!
Starting another wonderful week with some fun posts. I have a list of posts...I can't believe I have so many things to show you.
But First! My Begonias didn't grow in my Guest Bathroom. I was so disappointed.
Here's how it looks today.
New valance, new plant, candles and my handmade soap in some apothecary jars.
The new valance is made from a twin size bed dust ruffle I found at TM for a nifty price. My favorite store.
I used the same 2 1/2" hardware that had been used to hang the peach valance for 21 years.
I think it was time for a change. It was so easy to sew with all the hemming done.
I just turned the top over and made the header.

The fabric is eyelet and most of the labor was done by a professional source. I have priced
ready made valances and custom made valances and fabric to make the valance. I made this one in less than a day. With ripping, sewing, and hanging. Very Thrifty!! Yes?
I have added a new look with my new Orchid (Phalaenopsis) plant. When my last endeavor to grow Begonias in the bathroom failed. I thought a softer, more neutral colored plant would look attractive. And with my neutral colored valance the orchid is perfect.
I chose a moth orchid because its colorful, long-lasting, and simple to grow.
The reflection in the mirror looks like I have two orchids.
A few changes on the etagere .
Some sea shells, candle, handmade soap, and handmade bath salts too.
I love my angels!
Handmade soap with a french Fleur-de-lis.
Handmade Bath Salts
Vintage looking towels to finish off the softer look.
I love the new look of my Guest Bathroom.

Oh your bathroom looks so pretty. The new valance is lovely and what a great idea to recycle a dust ruffle. An orchid, oh my, I have tried and tried to grow them, yours is stunning, and looks amazing in the bathroom. Such a lovely etagere. I looks very pretty and I am totally impressed with the handmade soap. Beautiful. Thanks tons for joining TTT. Hugs, Marty
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful Betty,
ReplyDeleteI love the idea with the dust ruffle. How CLEVER!!! I LOVE Orchids and the bathroom is a perfect spot for one. I like it better than the begonia in there...AND...can't beat the effect of the mirror DOUBLING it for you! "PERFECT"!
Have a fun week,
Hugs,

NIce job there. It all looks good but my eyes were caught by the towels. I love that look. Pretty good idea with the dust ruffle. Neither of our BR has a window since they are in the center of the house but will use that idea in the guest bedroom. Thanks

Betty, I love the look to your guest bathroom! You've done a lovely job with the valance, the decor and the handmade soaps and bath salts - all look so serene! Love putting the Orchid next to the mirror - doubly beautiful! I do appreciate you sharing with A Return to Loveliness,

What a beautiful bathroom, and what a clever idea to use a dust ruffle as a valence--I will have to remember that! Your handmade soaps look like confections--gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful guest bathroom! LOVE it!
