It used to look like this
Not anymore! We traded the old refrigerator that came with the house for painting this room and one other.
Then, we added our own spin on it: my sweet husband added a drying rack for me (my parents had gotten me an expandable clothes hook for my tall closet, which works great for this!), and then we added the bubble decals around the room!
Since we have a full size fridge and freezer in the kitchen there is no need to put another one here, although it is a nice setup for one. Instead, this became the dog area, where we store their leashes, toys, and food & water.
The supply closet is actually a water heater closet that was suddenly opened up when we switched out the old heater for a tankless one. Now, we have room for our cleaning supplies, vacuum, ironing board, and a ladder!
Before:
The dizzying print on the wallpaper needed to go, and we thought we could do better than the existing light fixture. I also had other ideas for the mirror. One thing that had to stay: that pedestal sink! This was the perfect place to go all-out Victorian.
The light blue is nice for a little bathroom. We changed the light fixture to something really frilly and more Victorian. I also repainted a brass mirror that belonged to my great-grandparents so I love it twice as much for that reason.
One of the things I loved about the house was the big swan on the master bathtub. So, one time when I had to go out of town for work, my sweet husband surprised me by installing another swan fixture! This one has little swan handles, too!
