It's time for another Met Monday. Our hostess with the mostest is Susan, @

My Met Monday Make-over is our smallish guest bath. I don't have any before pics but the walls were painted white and there was a big ugly box light above the vanity. We had a little paint left-over from our kitchen, the color is cotswold green from the Laura Ashley Collection. I personally take the colors I like and their cards to Wal-mart, where they do a computerized color match. Dutch Boy paint, which they carry, has a high rating from consumer reports so I use that and it's usually cheaper than the designer paints, so far the color matching has been right on.
i saw the curved shower poles for sale at Wal-mart and they do seem to make the shower roomier. I found the shower curtain at J.C. Penneys on sale for $20. I think it is called cottage garden and with the embroidery and the nice quality fabric I though hey what a deal! The new light fixture was purchased at Home Depot for under $30.00.
I found this cute little tin pitcher at Wally's for $5 and filled it with wildflowers from around our yard. Obviously this pic was taken last summer. My total makeover came to a grand total of $70.00, paint included. Thanks for stopping, Cindy

I don't know what it looked like before, but it is just gorgeous now. What a great makeover. Don't you just love it when you can get such a fantastic designer look at a thrifty price. I think you did a great job. Hugs, Marty
ReplyDeleteCynthia...I can't believe what all you with just $70...beautiful! I love your shower curtain and I didn't even know they made curved rods...how neat is that! Great idea for the paint...I'll have to remember that! Love this Met Monday post! :-) Susan
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to know where you can buy those curved shower rods. I've always liked them in hotel bathrooms. You're right. They definitely make the shower seem larger.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty Cindy... you are ready for spring!
ReplyDeleteSusan
It really looks great. I love that shower curtain!

Love your bathroom redo! I also go to Wal-Mart with my own paint chips! I love their brand of paint! If you ever get the chance try it!
ReplyDeleteHi Cindy! Oh, your little bathroom is so charming! I love that shower curtain and the curved rod looks great! Nice job!
ReplyDeletebe a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
Cindy, Your bathroom makeover is adorable! I love that shade of green! The little pitcher you purchased and used as a flower vase is adorable! ;) ~CC Catherine
ReplyDeletePretty shower curtain!...Christine
ReplyDeleteI've seen those fancy rods in hotels and now you've snagged yourself one. I love the shower curtain and the vivid colors in the flowers. You must be so proud of yourself.
ReplyDeleteCindy,it is lovely! You did a great job!
ReplyDeleteHey, I have had to go private on my blog. If you would like to be a part of my readership, send me an email at steffes3@embarqmail.com.
It is a pain and I know it but I would love for you to join me!
Cindy your bathroom looks fabulous! The shower curtain is lovely and the wall color is perfect, so soft and pretty. It's hard to tell but I'm pretty sure we have the same light fixture only mine is in satin nickel. And of course there's nothing like fresh flowers to brighten up a room. Great job. It's hard to believe you did everything for only $70.00!!!!
ReplyDeleteThe whole room is gorgeous, but I love that shower curtain! I adds such a cottage-y touch! That was a steal. I like the curved shower rods in hotels and never thought about having one at home. Thanks for sharing! :D Jewel
ReplyDeleteI was just wondering about the quality of Walmart paint so I am glad for your endorsement! You got a lot of bang for the buck--looks great!
ReplyDeleteYou know, you are exactly like me with those paints! I do the same,,,find what i like and head to Walmart to have them match!
ReplyDeleteI love those colors, and that shower curtain to! I bought a shower curtain when i first moved in this house nearly 7 years ago, its still my favorite. Even when I think of updating--i wont give up the shower curtain.
Cynthia, you did a wonderful job in the bathroom. Everything ties together so well and looks beautiful. We don't have a Wally's here, but I keep hearing about it. Must be a great place! Your pretty light fixture reminds me that we need to change one out in our hall bath. Lovely! Linda
ReplyDeleteCindy,
ReplyDelete(I just posted a comment...maybe it will come to you?)Anyway, if not, I wanted to tell you how pretty that bathroom is. You have lots of great touches for so little $$. We don't have a Wally's here...wish we did. After seeing your pretty light fixture, we need to change out our hall bath fixture. Linda
Amazing what $70.00 can do! It looks wonderful! ~ Robyn
ReplyDeleteCynthia, great job with the bath! Love the colors and the lovely flowers in the pretty vase! Like your light fixture and the shower curtain as well!
ReplyDeleteXO,
Sheila :-)
Cindy it's beautiful. I wonder if I should buy a curved shower curtain for our bathroom at the lake. If it helps make the shower feel roomier, I'm all for that. Your shower curtain is gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteHi there! As I sit here this afternoon reading my favorite blogs, I'm struck by the image of all of us running around changing, redecorating, sprucing up our homes ... and it makes me smile! Your bath is precious! Is the curved rod a spring tension type? The width of the curtain doesn't matter? Standard size works?
ReplyDeleteCindy, this bathroom looks so pretty! I've never seen the curved shower curtain. It kind of gives it a look of having a vintage tub behind the curtain. I love that. That shower curtain is beautiful, and I love the wall color. laurie
ReplyDeleteYou always impress me with all those good bargains.. you do have a good eye and nose for that, my dear!
ReplyDeleteCindy,
ReplyDeleteI really love what you have done with your bathroom. It is so simple & pretty and didn't break your bank! I just learned that you can match paint colors, how nice! I love Behr paints and so far have been lucky with my colors, but if I ever decided to try a designer...
The curved shower curtain rod impressed me. I wish my baths were large enough for one. The shower curtain is very pretty too!
I also read your last tablescape post and I adore the combination of the yellow and blue, very springlike. You mentioned that a few items were from TJ. Who, what, where is that?!! :-)
xoxo

Hi, Cindy! How delightful your blog is! Your Cocoa looks a lot like my Punk. Love the tin pitcher and arrangement in it.
ReplyDeleteAwwwe...I love it! They would have to come knocking at the door to get me out of that bathroom. Cozy and functional..fresh flowers too boot! Yep...I would get me a good book and that would be the end of me!
ReplyDeleteMona
Ohhh, it was fun visiting here! Lots to see and enjoy. What a lovely guest bathroom!
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed your kitty picture on the sidebar (with her pink tongue sticking out just a little -- too cute). I have one "Miss Kitty" and she certainly gives us much joy with her furry-purry company!
Please stop by for a visit -- I'd enjoy your company!
