What a difference a few little accessories can make!
BEFORE
The vanity used to be golden oak, it was painted expresso
brown at the same time the kitchen was.
A very nice update.
AFTER
Add just a couple of items.
1. The little tree on the back of the toilet is a nice natural element.
2. The antique white cabinet door with a mirror and the little china plate really adds some personality. (you will notice she has this theme going throughout her whole house)
3. The tray on the counter has a hand towel in the same color as the shower curtain, with a few glass jars filled with cotton balls and qtips.
See how these little accessories really do add the touch
to make the room feel cozy!

This bathroom started out as pretty ordinary.
But ended up fantastic, by adding just a few design principles.
BEFORE
The homeowner had a number of interesting items that she wanted to put in the space but did not know how to pull it all together.
AFTER
Doesn't this feel so much more cozy!
What made the difference?
1. We used the art on the wall as inspiration.
See how we took three colors and tied them around the room.
Green, aqua blue and brown.
BEFORE
She had the same shower curtain, towels and rug.
AFTER
2. We made a few groupings to create a focal point.
BEFORE
The wall had no focal point.
There was nothing for your eye to focus on.
AFTER
See how we created a grouping and it made for a very nice focal point.
By hanging a shelf above the towel rod
we could make a grouping with the towels and the items on the shelf.
There is also a nice grouping above the toilet--
the art and wicker basket with the towels and sea turtle.
3. We were able to pull a theme throughout the bathroom that helped to tie it all together.
Notice the sea shells and starfish.
Also see the repeating leaf motif that is in the art, tissue box, towels and shower curtain.
We hung the wreath on the outside of the door, but it makes a beautiful addition to the room when the door is open. See the starfish and seashells as well as some leaves.
I loved this little leaf hook --- it also went with the theme of the room.
We hung a lace hankerchief and a couple of pearl bracelets just to add some whimsy to the room.

You can make your bathroom feel better by doing ONE thing ---
and it does not matter what style you have.
Add a Natural Element to your Bathroom!
It can be as simple as a vase of flowers.
This is the perfect time of year to pick a few blooms from your yard.
Or maybe you want to be a little more exotic and have some tropical touches.
See what a difference that little bit of pink makes.
This bathroom has a pot of flowers and a plant on the floor.
This is a very easy way to make your bathroom FEEL better.
See what you can do with yours!

My sweet husband who loves computers has changed out our operating system and I am having difficulties getting to my photos. These are a few that I could get---
This is a bathroom in my new home.
I took most of the decor items that I used in a bathroom in my last home and added them here. So I did not buy anything new.
I was really into framed leaf art, sometime I will show you more.
It was a rather natural theme.
But the wall color in my last house was gold.
There will soon be a nice warm brown on the walls here.
( I will post photos after the job is done).
Here is the BEFORE.
Bathrooms can feel so cold!
What helped to make the difference in the FEEL of this bathroom is:
A fabric shower curtain
(Fabric) --Softens the space and absorbs sound.
Towels (Fabric)
A pot of pussy willows
--Picked from my neighbors yard years ago ( Natural Element)
Little lamps
with candles in them ( Lighting)--Creates a warm cozy feeling.
See how by simply adding:
Lighting
Fabric
&
Natural elements
You can make any room in your house FEEL better!
Go and try it for yourself!

This powder room has a number of accessories that make it feel cozy.
Notice the natural elements
The towels on the rack and in the basket bring in the softness of fabric.
When you do a bathroom add:
Natural elements
Towels
Other accessories that tie in the color or theme.
And you will have a cozy powder room!
The powder room sign, the green plant
and the basket on the back of the toilet create a nice unit.
The clock ties in the theme of the room on the other wall.
