Project #3- The Master Bath

I thought this bathroom was in a little bit better shape than the other.

Before

That is, until I went to clean the shower & the whole shower head broke off in my hand.  
The pipe receded into the wall, with water shooting everywhere! 
And ACK! The knobs wouldn't turn the water off! 
I run for Mike and he simply twists them to the LEFT to turn it off.  

Yep- backwards!  As my dad used to call them "French Knobs"- I should know better after growing up in an 1860 house!

Before

Anyways, we plan to extend this bathroom into the "office" that is currently being used as a closet (since the closet in our bedroom isn't quite big enough).  The remainder of the "office" will become a real walk-in closet, with built-ins.  Some day...

For the short-term fix, I painted the bathroom purple.  The same color as the old house's guest bath, so had the paint & the linens to match.  
No money spent- woo hoo! 
Great, since we'll be needing it to fix the darned shower!

Decorating:


This pretty ashtray was my Nana's,& now holds rings during hand washing. 

Mike's mom gave me the cool little antique bottle.
