I'm still keeping my eye out for another beauty like this. |

Super cheap! |
Normally, I'd be right there with you. But I figured I could paint it and it would give off the appropriate vibe I was going for in the downstairs bathroom for a very affordable price.
As I have mentioned numerous times, I am an old house renovator blog addict. One of my absolute favourite blogs is called Vivacious Victorian. And nerd that I am, I went back recently to re-read the entire thing. That's when I stumbled across this post detailing how they renovated their master bathroom in one of their previous houses. I had to laugh out loud when I noticed this picture and the associated caption:

But I had a plan!!!
Our downstairs bathroom just needs to be functional. I want it to be as pretty as I can get it for the limited budget it deserves right now, but ultimately, function comes first (and that kills me to say because for years I've stated "fashion over comfort"). I have BIG plans for it to look amazing down the road, but we just need a bathroom that will work for us while we save and plan our master bath.
That's why we are using the old tub from upstairs.

The tub has been moved from room to room since it was taken from the bathroom upstairs. And it's kind of become a contained dumping ground lol |

Ooo! Ahh! |

A little mix and match! |
"This light is $10. We do not have a light for that room yet. If I paint this light, this light could totally work. Let's buy this light."
Last week I officially decided I would paint it! This was mostly so I could write a blog post that wasn't about blocking again.

The teaser I posted of the prep work. |
I have to say that I'm really liking how it's coming. Hopefully I can finish it this week (if the weather would just COOPERATE!!!) and show you how it turned out. I am pretty confident that this was one of those ideas where I wasn't crazy after all, but you can be the judge of that I guess.
