Project Update

Remember project #2? Well, the powder room is really a work in progress. Here's the progress:

My younger sister spied a clock at Kohl's and called me. She sent me down there to investigate. Well, I loved the clock. It was absolutely perfect for my powder room.

As long as I was at Khol's, I took a minute to investigate their home decor. Would you believe I found the best rug? I love this rug because it really blends the cool blues with the warm maple cabinet.

I found this set of plaques at (guess where!) Kohl's and knew they would be perfect....somehow. After consulting with the ever-creative Amy J., I had Randy build a frame for the plaques. We used some wood trim that was here when we moved in and I painted it white with the same paint as the bathroom trim. We attached it to the wall and then centered the plaques in it. Wa-la. Decoration. It would probably look better with a wider frame, but I wasn't going to spend any more money on wood.


It would probably also look better if the plaques were straight. I apologize for the crooked plaques. I didn't bother to check their straightness before I took the picture. Randy suggested I put tape on the backs so that I don't have to continue to straighten them all the time. I think I better take his suggestion. Here's the view from across the room:



All that is left is this wall:

What am I going to do with it? Anyone? I also think a fake plant (think tall and thin. palm trees anyone?) would be nice on the counter, but before I follow my own thoughts, I'll consult those who really know (Amy, Vicki).

Then again, a big bushy plant in the corner behind the toilet could be fun. Guests would feel like they were doing their duty in the great outdoors.

No? Not a very good idea? You people aren't any fun (all five of you).

I should probably buy new hand towels, too. Something that isn't grass green... Don't want my guests thinking it's a broad-leaf plant while they are in the great outdoors.
