adding a little bling.

Last week I shared the first completed room in the Christmas Cottage and I’m calling it the craft room.

And in that post I gave you a little, bitty sneak peek into the next completed room.

The room is just through that doorway on the right, and I decided to make it a bathroom.

I started with the walls, painting them in the same Pink Champagne that I used in the craft room.  Then I pulled out some scraps of subway tile ‘wallpaper’ that were left over from the kitchen in my last miniature project …

I had enough left over to do a half wall in this bathroom.

I also used the same inexpensive ($3.49 per 11″ x 17″ sheet) black and white flooring from Hobby Lobby.

Next up I decided to add some inexpensive fixtures that I found at Michael’s.

I needed to add a little bling to give them some life, so I applied some of Dixie Belle’s gold gilding wax to the faucets.  The gold will tie in with a couple of other pieces in the room too.

I also painted the toilet seat with Dixie Belle’s Caviar.

They are small details, but I really think they make the fixtures look slightly more upscale.

After putting the fixtures in place, I had enough room to add the blanket cabinet that I painted up last year in Dixie Belle’s Cottage Door.  It has a little more of that gold bling in the form of the I.O.D. Étiquettes gilded transfer on the doors.

Finally I added just a couple more details like a mirror over the sink and a framed floral print.  The mirror is one of the few pieces that came with the house.

With that, I’m calling that bathroom completed.

You’ll notice that I didn’t really come up with anything Christmas related for this room, but then not everyone decorates their bathroom for the holidays right?

I think I’ll move on to the 2nd floor next week, so be sure to stay tuned.  In the meantime, leave a comment and let me know what you think of the bathroom.
