Proud to Present - My Almost Finished Bathroom




BEFORE
 


In my previous apartment, I did not have a linen closet so I bought this  glass shelving that fit over the toilet and gave me a place to put my towels, etc. After I bought my condo, I not only had built in shelving inside the bathroom but also discovered this big ole thing would not fit in the same spot as it had previously.  So I put it over the hamper and haphazardly decorated it. This "Before" picture is how it looked for almost three years.




AFTER

And as they say, out with the old and in with the new.....oh...that doesn't really apply..... this is all from garage and church sales and Goodwill.  Okay, out with the stuff you were given as a secret santa gift, a present from an aunt you haven't seen since you were 5 and your first attempt at decorating a wicker basket.  In with the square wicker baskets, seashells, pitchers, flowers, more flowers, a seashell picture frame with the best beach picture you've ever taken, chimes, shampoos, conditioners and lotions from your favorite vacation hotels and any other treasure you've dug out of your "loot box."  Without being too graphic, sitting on my throne will make you smile, if you know what I mean.  Teehee.

                                       TA DAH......UHHH...... EXCEPT......

What should I do with the cabinet? Paint it white, paint it a different color or leave it alone? And how about the walls?  Sea blue or bright white? Let me know what you think.
