Bathroom Update and Some Staging

There's still lots to do in the master bath makeover, but I just had to take a pause and play a little with some vignettes! I re-grouted the tile around the tub and that fresh clean white was just begging to have some accessories put on top. You can see the wallpaper is still showing. We will do the painting last.


I have wanted to display some of the shells I brought home from vacation and just could not wait any longer.

Notice the broken shells around the candle. I love the pretty colors. Normally I would use beach sand, but thought this idea might work. I like!

Some little coral pieces are tucked around some bath oil beads.

I think other beach goers were wondering why I was picking up the plain white shells and especially the worn broken pieces, but then they weren't able to see this vision I had in my head. The pink pottery belonged to my mother, who taught me the joy of shell collecting.

I just love the way shells wear in the surf with age. Look at the Swiss cheese holes left in them. I love the textures. The simplicity of being all white makes for a serene setting.

Coming next time will be the plumbing of the new fixtures. Mr. H had quite an adventure when he saw what the building plumbers had done! Stay tuned. He's my hero.
