My bathroom is a bit boring. It has beige walls, white and brass fixtures, and beige carpet (yes...carpet). When we moved in, we didn't want to bother with painting, so the walls have stayed beige. (And we didn't have the resources to redo the flooring--though I'd like to one day. Carpet in a bathroom is not my favorite.)
I tried to bring in some color with towels and things, and for the last 4 1/2 years, it's worked fine. But, it was starting to get to me, all that beige. I still didn't want to paint, but I needed some more color. So, I made a valance for the window.
Before:
After:
I used a very pretty purple sheet I found at Walmart and some coordinating ribbon to make my simple valance. I'd planned a different style (where ribbons tie it up--I don't know what it's called), but simple looked better. I also bought an inexpensive storage cupboard. We'd had a trash can in the spot between the tub and the sink for awhile, just to put something there. The nicer storage cupboards were too wide to fit in that spot, but the Target ReStyle ones do.
So, now the open towel storage brings in a bit more color, and I have more room in my linen closet now that I'm storing some towels in the bathroom instead of the linen closet! I'm liking my mini-makeover. It makes my bathroom a bit less boring. :)
