Polka Dot Bathroom

Yesterday I worked on accessorizing our new bathroom.  It still needs a floor and the ceiling painted, but my husband still has the other bathroom to tile!  I have painted the bathroom a peachy-pink.  It is hard to decide what shade to choose when there are so many to pick from!  And where do they get the names for the paint?  "cozy cottage, pink mimosa, bunny's nose"  I decided on Lady Pink.

I am using black and white as my accent colors.  I found a beautiful shower curtain in white with shabby roses at Bed, Bath & Beyond.

I got a very light pink toilet seat cover and a hand towel with the same shabby flowers at Target.

I have a small wooden shelf that was previosuly in Amanda's bathroom.  I spray painted it black.  I used chalkboard paint, simply because I had it on hand and I wanted flat black.  I polka dotted the shelf with the end of a paintbrush and the Lady Pink wall paint.

I also found these cute checkered rugs in the bargain bins at Target for $2.50 each.
I am going to polka dot them, too!

I painted the inside of the heart, the pink color.  I touched up the "boo-boo's: with a black felt tipped pen.

The sides.

Now, the decision for the trim around the edge.  My first choice is the first one, but there is not enough to go around the edge.  So I am choosing the second one, a cluny type trim.

I hot glued that around the top edge.

We are undecided about the floor treatment for the bathroom.  Randy wants to just paint the concrete.  The paint that we had used to do this in Amanda's bedroom smelled HORRIBLE! for at least one week.  I am intolerant to a lot of smells and I could not sleep in there with that odor!

For now, I am using throw rugs, no problem!

I used the wall paint on these little rugs, too.

Looking lovely as bath mats.


I put together these 4 items to put on top of the linen cupboard.

It is a half size paint pail- found in paint section of Lowe's, I think it was about $3. 2 pink silk hydrangeas and a sheet of dotted tissue paper.

I am really in to hydrangeas right now.  They are one of those things that make me smile inside, just like polka dots!  They come in a variety of colors.  I have purchased most of mine at Michael's.

Finished photos in the next post!
