before and after bathroom. wanted a BIG color in this little bathroom and now I get to have fun with  rugs and towels ..... finally . lots of hurry up and wait time when you do tile with accent  pieces. I picked out the IKEA sink for it's very small frame and yet, large basin . Got the faucet their too . The toilet was the most narrow I could find and of good quality, same with the tub, saved around 5 inches between the two.  Pocket door to finish it all off. The bathroom  was always too small . The door would hit the cabinet and the two old globe lights that hung down in front of the mirror. no room for dressing. I also got rid of a false wall hiding the inner wall shower plumbing at the end of the old tub and added a ledge and 6 inches of wall space by placing plumbing on the opposite wall

decorative painting accents

Stopped into our local french bakery, Fleur de lis , to pick up some pastries for a gathering at the gallery this morning and took a few pics of the decorative painting I did when the bakery was newly opening. A slight flourish here and there to bring enhance the french design. There is a nice mural of Notre Dame on the west wall also.... this is by muralist Janelle Emery.
