here we are yet again show & tell visitors gathering this wednesday to continue the tour of a "corner of my world"! we will be splishin' & a splashin' thru today's feature corner - our "master" bath. not officially attached to the master bedroom...it really serves as the upstairs main bath.
so as a whole...here's what you see upon entering...a clawfoot tub that holds so much water that i can clear the entire house of it's hot water supply in one sitting..i mean bathing. rusty locker baskets hold early wood gilt letters just incase you need to be reminded where you are.
and on the note of said locker baskets...I hauled those numbers back in a suitcase that just so happened to be flagged for inspection at the airport. you can about imagine the look on the little man's face when he cracked that one open. i watched laughing the whole time...a confused glance my way and I told him "don't ask". with a shake of the head he zipped it up and sent me on my way. i think that is one of the best things about decorating with junk...oh, the stories to share! a mall just can't provide such entertainment!
so onward we go...on the floor {above} rests my friend...let's call him ferdinand. with such a neutral canvas I love the opportunity to use accents you wouldn't expect in a bath. another unexpected figure is that of my weathered rake {below} that houses a small portion of my necklaces. i can see at a glance what baubles beckon to me on a given day.
if you have been following my blog tour of our home you may pick up on my fondness {borderline obsession} with chandeliers. this room was not overlooked as it's crowning glory is a fabulous glass chandelier {below}. I tired of it's whiter than white socket covers so I decoupaged darkened newspapers over them. and to make it a little less fussy being all crystal and such I added a piece of old rosary chain & dangled a sheriff's badge at the bottom in-place of the fancy crystal ball.
and here is a close up of the cuter than cute sheriff's star...
details details...{2 pics above} you will see I used a canvas roman shade as the window covering...I wrapped each side with an "oldie but goodie" cloth measuring tape...love 'em for ribbons and accents!
this little grouping {below} rests between his and her sinks. an old glove form proudly "holds" bracelets...a rusty bed spring has a q-tip ready for action & the lotion bottle...well, let's just say I found the original front "design" a bit ordinary. again, nothing a little glue and paper bits can't solve!
a former stove {below} now resides under the window housing bins & my collection of ocean hued seltzer bottles...they always glimmer in the morning sun! a wonderful swiveling doctor stool is now commissioned to hold a stack of towlels!
well...I hope you have enjoyed a peek at our splashing main bath! so ends todays tour with one more little feature I must show that I can't live without - our rainhead shower! exposed "european" style pipes add vintage flair with modern convenience!
thanks for touring along on another corner of my world. and don't forget to check out the PRIZE drawing featured a couple posts back...there is little piece of wise wisdom that I will be giving away! and you still have a couple days to sign up! have yourself a happy day...be sure to make a "splash" into at all you do!
