Creative Layering

I have been stripping wallpaper and just have one tiny section left to finish.

Once the walls are washed and sanded the painting will begin.  I picked

up the paint for the walls of the bath on Saturday.  

But I have also been having fun collecting and creating decorative

elements for the room.  Y'all know how I love to layer!  So, in keeping

with the canine theme in the guest bath, I am repeating that theme in 

various ways around the room.  In this case, I took a scene from the 

fabric I used for the stool and window valance, and framed it in a

vintage gilded frame.  I love the whimsical feel this is going to

give the room.

I love, love, love, little lamps but could not find one I was crazy about,

so I created my own.  I just took one of the little candle lights you

find everywhere, put on a black silk shade and glued it onto a

thrift shop jewelry box I painted years ago and gave to my Mom.

I was inspired to do this after seeing a Chinese tea chest made into a

lamp.  I think it will be fun to store a few extra votive candles in the

top and some matches in the drawer.  I love candles in the bath.

I found a cute frame on sale and added another image from the fabric.

I am having so much fun putting this room together and am 

loving that all the decorating elements will be unique and

creatively my own.  More elements to layer are on their way!
