Whoever built our house in the 60’s, took the term “water closet” a bit too literally when designing the master bath. Small, does not begin to describe it. Tiny and ugly, perhaps does…or did, rather. Since the quickie weekend make-over we gave it a few weeks ago we now refer to it as, the “Boutique Bath”.
Before we started the walls were dingy white, there was a parchment shade that our cat tore in an unfortunate window jumping incident, and we had a pedestal sink which took up space without offering storage.
We decided to go for a dark, modern look and painted the walls a deep violet. The color would probably be a bit much for a larger room but it works nicely in this smaller space. We also found a new sink at Ikea that’s perfect for our needs, offering storage without taking up as much space as its predecessor.
Lastly, I made this panel valance to hang over some plain, white Home Depot blinds.
That’s really it. Small changes to small spaces. It’s the little things that count, right? 😉
I’m in love with your bathroom and wonder if you would come do mine. You could even film it for a videocast or TV, I’m that much wanting to have it done.
think of the yarn crawl you could go on while in NYC too….

Dear community,
The majority share of the knitting, crochet, and crafts industries, and the community that supports them, are women and non-binary folk with uteruses. After yesterday's devastating supreme court decision, essentially removing women's constitutional rights over our own bodies, need to support one another. We need to love each other enough to not give up. I see you. My heart is with you.
Yesterday, I was fortunate enough to be on a Zoom action-meeting run by a major women's healthcare organization. We feel powerless, but one of the suggestions they gave for things we can do is to donate to grass-root organizations that focus on women's healthcare clinics.
