Its been a long time since Ive given our master bathroom a facelift and since I was so happy with the Simply White paint I chose for the kitchen, I wanted to extend that color to our master bathroom, as well. A cool find from hubby also played a part in giving this room a redo.
I know there are lots of folks that dont like radiators or that want to cover them up but not me. I love the cast iron and view them as a piece of art. There werent any old radiators in our 100 year old home when we moved in and I never really cared that much until I started seeing really cool versions of them.
And as luck would have it, hubby was given several radiators a few weeks ago. A couple of them were huge and so heavy that they maybe would have put a hole through our floor so I chose this small one.
I cleaned it up, primed it and then painted it Simply White as well. I really love it and actually wish it was a working radiator. That inspired a redo, so I pulled things from around the house, picked up a few things and repainted Benjamin Moores Simply White to give it a new look.

As you can see, our master bath is small. But thats okay, I love it anyway.
For the counter top, I wanted to add a few things to give it a masculine touch as well since my hubby also shares this bathroom. So, I picked up a vintage shaving mug and brush, as well as a vintage wood leather straight edge sharpener. It reminded me of a bread board so of course I had to use it. :) For fun, I found an old photo of a barber shop price list online, printed it off and framed it.
I love the patina on the wood handle of the old shaving brush.
For the other side of the vanity, I attached an old photo I came across in a flea market to the inside of an old apothecary jar that I filled with soaps.
I was drawn to the old photo because, if you look closely, and I did with a magnifying glass, it is a woman working in her garden, tending to her tomato plants. And this was written on the back.....it makes me smile.
I pulled this very fragile vintage fruit basket from the dining room and filled it with white fluffy towels for beside the tub.
I mentioned before in our previous master bath redo that we dont have a shower in here. Our only shower is upstairs.
We use this bathroom for taking long soaks in the tub so I try to make it as peaceful and comfy in there as I can so that whoever takes a soak in there, will feel relaxed and special.
I also moved our Gray Farms sign from the kitchen to right above the tub. I like it in here much better.
The three storage baskets on the wall came from Pier 1 many years ago and were made for a book shelf but I simply turned them on the side and screwed them into the wall for towels or whatever else I feel like putting in there.
I have pretty much decided to paint our entire upstairs hallway area in Simply White because it is just such a peaceful color. Our floors up there are dark wood and I think the two will contrast nicely.
I was hoping to give the bathroom a farmhouse feel. Hopefully I accomplished that. Or it could be that the word "Farms" on the wall is what makes it feel that way. ;-)

Do any of your have radiators in your home? Do you cover them up? Do they work?
Thats it for now! Enjoy your week!

Farmhouse Table
Last week I came across a fabulous gem that just happened to be in our own store. I dont work there that often and sometimes my hubby will get sneaky and bypass me completely when he finds inventory so that I wont want to keep things for myself. So, I happened to pop into the shop early one morning last week to do some cleaning when this fantastic piece stopped me in my tracks right at the door.
Of course I immediately called him and asked if I could take it home and being the sweet man that he is, he didnt mind at all. So we loaded her up and I parted with our barnwood table I built and put it in the shop in its place so it really was a win win, right?!
This farmhouse table must have previously had a sink in it as there was a hole in that shape in the top. I didnt care cause I knew I could cover it with a piece of wood. The patina on the table is probably the best I have ever seen.
It is the perfect worktable for our kitchen. The perfect height for being able to use for rolling out pastry and baking.
The other side has an open shelf space that is perfect for storage.
I also worked on another open shelf project with a thick piece of barn wood that my hubby found in a local creek. Its been drying out and aging for about a year and I finally decided to use it for my cookbook collection. I really do like having them displayed for inspiration.
The wood pantry that used to sit in that area is now in our laundry room where we needed storage, so that worked out perfectly as well.
And yes, I do enjoy changing things up in the kitchen often. :)
Anyone else the same way?
Have a great day!
