Out

Tomorrow I'm having a photo shoot so I should be pretty busy the next couple of days. And next week is my birthday so I may be taking a short vacation. I'll try to pop in every now and then for an update. Hope you guys have a wonderful week!

This is the bigger picture, ignore the ugly walls. I'm going to paint them, eventually.

This is my start to makeover this room. It's still has a way to go, but I think I'm makin some headway!

Mirror Ideas

I have this mirror that is horrific looking and I can't decide what I want to do with it and what color I want to paint it. Here are some of my ideas so far. Right now I'm really liking the one on the shelf. I happen to have an unused shelf that needs a home. The only debate now is what color I want the mirror to be. I think I'm leaning towards the green.... or maybe red to add a bit of pop? `

Bathroom Makeover & Fun Bookshelf ideas

This is kind of where I got my Inspiration

See I had made (and by I, I mean my dad and boyfriend) this shelving unit but it didn't quite turn out like I dad drawn it. They did it exactly right but I didn't account for the width and it just made my bathroom feel really cramped. So today my dad and I tore it apart. I'm using all of the wood, just reassembling it. And some of it is going into little Eliza's room. Anyhow this is it.

I plan on adding a door to the little cubbie above. I bought adorable knobs from Anthropologie that I have yet to use that are going on it. On the wood plank holding in the baby towels is cut scrapbook paper that I had. I think it added a little something.

And then I added a mini shelf which I also covered with scrapbook paper.

Here is a bench... not really sure it's going to be used but it's cute right? I'm making a cushion for it... eventually. On top of all that I want to make a towel rug, ohh so much to do.

I also made this bust for my necklaces. Below is the original from Design Sponge.

And here is mine (made out of foam board and mounted on a plate stand).

In the near futur I plan on adding another shelf and on it I'm going to print and frame some artwor from IndieFixx.com. They have a project called Feed Your Soul where they rounded up artists to come and do free work for people in this terrible economy. I think it's brilliant and can not wait to showcase one of these lovely pieces in my bathroom.

Here are the shelf ideas:
