When some ladies get broken up with, they cut their hair, or go find a rebound, or lay in bed and eat chocolate, but me, oh no! I go directly to my favorite home improvement store and go about my home improvement!!
Operation Bathroom Re-do:
My bathroom is weird...kind of long and skinny, but with a great closet!!
(My photos stink, my camera has corrosion, so it doesn't focus on any setting...Gaaaaa!!)
BEFORE:
I put these hooks up last summer. The wood is from the old outhouse in my backyard!! My experience with screwing hooks directly into the wall usually turns out disastrous, so I always put some kind of board up. This outhouse siding has paint on it, likely lead paint, so I always spray a few coats of polyurethane. The paint really adds to the character! Although this board has lost a whole lot of its "character" already, I still like the rustic look!
Please do laugh at my ridiculous decorating skills! When I moved in here a year and a half ago I just used old nails!
AFTER:
I used a medium gray by Dutch Boy called Route 66. But the paint was Pittsburgh Paints Grand Distinction in Ceramic Flat Enamel (I wanted eggshell but the store was out.) Great paint! I don't like the flat in this room, but if your walls have imperfections, flat is the way to go.
I have had that cross towel holder for over a year!! Got it on eBay for $1.99!!
Had to have more hooks back there!! Same outhouse boards, same vintage hooks!
These are the newest addition hooks, also vintage to the house.
These hooks were in my house when I moved in, and I love that they have the paint on them!

The moral of this story, if I can get out there and put on a fresh coat of paint and redecorate in a weekend, you can too! And don't think you have to buy or find new decor, look around your house for things that may be hiding out in other rooms! Or take a walk out side and find some inspiration in nature!!
