This is another favorite room in the house: the guest bathroom. {Seriously!}
Before you get to looking, I wanted to do a quick disclaimer. I hope these house posts don't sound like bragging {or whining about what I still want!} or as if I'm overly focused on the house and material things.
We're first-time homeowners, so it's been fun to document the changes and improvements we've made in the last year. We're also on a shoestring budget {more like half a shoestring actually}, so I'm always encouraged to see what other people have been able to do on the cheap and wanted to share what we've done, too. So much of what is in our house has been generously given to us, so, in every room, we're reminded to be thankful and to be generous with others as well.
With that said, this is our guest bathroom! Actually, it's the one we use too when guests aren't here because the water pressure in the shower is about 50 times better than that in the master bath. {Need to get that checked probably.}
This is another room we painted the "official" Alabama gray {a darker shade than we used in C's bedroom}, so we thought we'd go all out with the Bama decor.
Houndstooth shower curtain {found on Amazon}...
Alabama records {via Half-Price and Ebay}...
And a couple of DIYs. I made black and silver photo frames a few years ago, so I just repainted one of those white and added a picture from our trip home.
And one of my favorites! We had also picked up a small can of the Alabama crimson when we bought the gray paint, and I kept telling Jason I wanted to do a sign like this that looked like a piece of scrap wood. We actually have some genuine ;) scrap wood pieces around the house, but nothing seemed right. Then I just found this piece on one of our walks, and it was perfect! {And we received the Denny Chimes print with our diplomas.}
In here, the only other thing I'd like to do is replace the floor one day. Otherwise, we love our Bama bathroom! Roll Tide!

My husband would love the Alabama record albums. The gray wall color is really pretty.
ReplyDeleteAnd my couch and love seat are upholstered in houndstooth. We lived with a broken couch for probably 6 months until I found a furniture maker that offered houndstooth. I'm no 'bama fan, but I love it!
Thanks! Ha, yes, sometimes I think we act like we have a corner on houndstooth. :) I'll bet your furniture is beautiful!
