Shining Up Silver

Now I'll bet when you saw that blog post
title you thought this was going to
be a tutorial on how to shine your silver, right?

 

Well, I'm actually sharing a makeover today!

 

It was just one of those things...

you know... you get tired of 

looking at the same

thing over and over again.

 

Tired of my looking at my master bathroom.
(My husband is worried that he is next!)

 

I had never really put any thought
into the décor in there... 

 

Things just went in there
that sort of went together.

Last week, for some reason,
I said, that's it!
And I made a change.
 

As usual, I forgot to take the before photo.

 

Meh!

 

Anyway, here are some highlights:

 

It all started with this shower curtain that I found

in the clearance isle of Bed, Bath, and Beyond.

 

I really liked the silvery design, yet with a hint

of beige...which is what the walls were already painted.

 

Since I was not in the mood to paint the walls,

this worked out great!

 

 

Then from there I went with towels and wall art.

The towels match the shower curtain but

they were not on clearance.

 

I hardly ever buy towels so I splurged a little.

 

I am probably the only person who still has

a towel or two from her college days.

No joke!

 

The Eiffel Tower print

is an homage to our

honeymoon in Paris.

 

 

Then I got a bit crazy and spray painted

this wall cabinet.

 

It used to be an eighties mauve stripe

flanked with hand painted flowers.

 

It was also a bit crackled

which I did not notice

until the silver dried.

 

I'm okay with the crackle...

it was the "Tin Man" effect

I wasn't so crazy about.

 

But it is growing on me.

 

 

Then, while the spray paint was

still wet, I grabbed this three

tiered stand and gave

 it a coat or two, too!

 

I found this at a local furniture

store... when we first moved in

....and have used it only

in my bathroom. It works great

for things that I need in an

easy to reach spot.

 

It doesn't look as "Tin Man" ish

so I was happy with how

it turned out!

 

 

And the last touches

were simple things from K-Mart

believe it or not!

Silver hooks with a bit of bling,

silver mercury style glass

dispenser, toothbrush holder, etc.

 

I'm so happy in there now!

 

Enjoy your weekend...
