Vintage Style Guest Bath



                                                          Hello everyone,
                              I hope your week is going well. The weeks seem to be slipping by pretty fast-it is hard to believe that winter is officially over already. One of the projects that we were working on this past week was our small upstair guest bath.
                           
                            So the wainscotting got a fresh coat of white paint as well as the floors.
The upper part of the walls were grey  before and the curtain was a grey toile(sorry, I don't have a photo of the before) so this deep aqua color Behr Marina Isle is a nice change.



                              This pretty bucket from Time Worn Treasures and Antiques looks pretty holding some guest towels. The old cast iron tub got a fresh coat of paint on the outside as well.I love these comfortable old bathtubs.
                                              Some of the little details.





               I am happy with the new look of our little vintage guest bath. It is great to be getting some of these projects done because we will soon(hopefully) be able to get out and work in the garden again.

I am joining French Country Cottage for Feathered Nest Friday,

Happy First Day of ....Spring?



                                                           Hello everyone,

           I wanted to pop in and wish you all a happy first day of spring and since we all want some spring color ~ I have some for you!
I sure do love all these spring colors.



             

                                        Looking forward to our spring garden.




                                         Scenes from around our spring garden.



                        one of my favorite shots from a past spring. It cheers me just looking at it!

However, the reality of our world today was this winter white scene. We had a mini storm blow through this morning and another is apparently coming on Friday. I have not spotted a single robin in our garden yet this year and last year they were around by the end of January-I think they know something about a later arrival of actual spring weather. The good news is -it will come sooner....or later!

 I will leave you with a nice spring cup of tea! But, first I would like to thank all of you for your kind and encouraging words on my last post- they are my spring cheer!!!

Thank you for visiting,
Carolyn
