All photos can be enlarged by clicking on them.I apologize in advance for the long post.
The process and before pics are in recent posts.
Here you go! The bathroom is complete except for a small amount of tile work in the shower and the installation of the glass enclosure. You can't see the wallpaper anymore!!! We did not strip the paper but instead primed it, sprayed orange peel for texture, and then painted. It's hard to capture the true color of the walls. Just picture a slightly pinkish beige--like silly putty actually.
Walls: Behr Pebbled Courtyard, semi gloss
Trim: Behr Polar Bear, semi gloss enamel
Trim: Behr Polar Bear, semi gloss enamel


Bath fixtures also from Lowes. We changed the faucet on the sink a few years ago. 
I worked on the accessories while Mr. H was painting the walls. I challenged myself to use only items I already owned. I went crazy with white spray paint. LOL The pets almost got included! I love the simplicity and unity all the white has created. I wasn't that fond of my white tile with the wallpaper but now I love it!
Notice the two small frames on the wall above? I have since done a shell craft in the centers. I'll share that in another post. Here is what they looked like before as a fifty cent thrift buy. Yuggly-ugly (to me at least).
Chair before--purchased at a thrift store $5 a few years ago. (I have a matching one in the studio to be painted red.)
I covered the cushion in a remnant piece of fabric that I have had for years--so glad to finally use it somewhere. I sit here to put my makeup on each day. 
I spray painted this tea cart that I bought several years ago for $5.00. A glass company made a mirror for the missing top for $10 or $15. It only took about ten years to get around to painting it!
I love the morning light!
And I love this sweet print. Can you believe the print came from the Dollar Tree (a few years ago)?
I added more shells around the pink pottery and tucked in some tea lights. I feel a long bath coming soon 'cause my bones are weary after all this work!
If you're still looking or reading at this point, you are real troopers! XOXO for hanging in there with me. You really are the best kindred spirits! OK special friends, I'm off for a long hot soak, but come back soon because I have not deserted bright colors. I have some things to show you that are bright and yummy!!!PS Paint is my BFF!!!!

Have a good soak, you deserve it!
Oh that is so gorgeous. I could have kept on reading and looking even more! Can't wait to see the bright yumminess, too.
As I looked through the pictures, I was thinking it is so "Lallee". :)
That is a compliment, pretty and sweet as can be.
It looks great. So light and clean looking.
Lal it looks gorgeous! Very inviting and restful. Love the color and the whites. That chair is beautiful, and I can't wait to see the other in RED!!
That little dollar print is adorable.
I like how the window area turned out that you were going to applique. The little cart is awesome too, great idea putting a mirror on top!
Your bathroom turned out beautifully!
I know it was a lot of work, but you and your hubby did a GREAT job!
I applaud you for challenging yourself to "use what you have" to decorate. It's sooooo pretty!
Enjoy your soak in the tub; you deserve it!

Great job! Everything looks beautiful! I love that chair! I must have a place to sit to put on my make-up and insist bathrooms have a chair or bench, etc!

Your bathroom looks lovely. It is so pretty and restful looking. I love the chair and the blue teacart redos.
It looks beautiful Lallee! I love the painted chair, paint on those kind of chairs brings out the details so nicely! I love the little tea cart too! Worth waiting 10 years to use it:>)
This is so lovely, so serene and pretty.
Love all the little details...
Love,
Sue
Wow, that looks great! I have been doing a lot of remodeling too. I decided I wanted a Bathroom Sauna. It is more than that though. I can't wait to get my new vessel sink installed. My wife will be so surprised. Fun fun fun!
