Back in the Bathroom

My miniatures have been so neglected this month! January is almost ending and I have little to show you. I finished the garden center bathroom floor. I'm not sure it agrees with the palm tree wallpaper I used?

Now I'm working on the glass block window for the side wall. This is a real challenge but I think I'm going to like it.

This coming weekend I plan to clear off my work table and dry fit the building. I still need to finish the supports for the roof and complete my lighting plan.

Dylan is doing well. My arm is healing. Thinks are looking UP! Thanks for continuing to follow along! There WILL be progress. I promise!

Hope you have a beautiful day!

Before And After

Here's what the bathroom looked like before.


Here is what it looks like now!


A girl has to have a place to freshen up after relaxing on the beach. A nice cold tropical drink doesn't hurt either!

Hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Grandpa's On The Ladder Again!

I really hope that we don't have another mishap here. Grandpa is on the ladder again. He got the shower curtain rod installed. Now he says he "needs more light."


I'm really nervous seeing him with the chandelier. He's already knocked off some of the shower curtain hooks and the plumbing is missing.

Do I dare go off to work and leave him by himself? Who knows what might happen next!?

Plumbing 101

Now if I can just figure out how to put this all together?!

Saturday Night Bath

I got bored with the brown beads. I like pretty things. I like how my bathroom is looking!

There are still towels to make, something for the window and other details. I need plumbing, a shower curtain, something to go in the back corner...

I'm going to make another hutch too. Great reason to go to Michael's tomorrow! I've decided the blue hutch will be part of my give-a-way in June. Stay tuned for that!

Hope you have a great evening!

Teal, Turquoise, Clear and Brown

Out of all of these pretty beads...

I'm only using teal, turquoise, clear and brown.

This is going to take a while... teal, turquoise, clear, brown, teal, turquoise, clear, brown...

I'm getting a headache and am going to bed!
Teal, turquoise, clear, brown...

Sweet dreams,

Making Progress!

The tile is in! I also made some trim like I saw at Country Living.

Not sure what I want to do with the floor yet? I made this little fish design out of seed beads. Thought I might use them as accents on a crushed shell floor?

Maybe I'll put in a hardwood floor and paint it? Or maybe make some larger tiles? Right now I can't figure out how to get my printer to work so I can't print the Villa Lagoon tile I like.

Decisions, decisions. At least you can see I am making some progress!

Beach House Decorating

An idea from Country Living

Beach House Decorating

I found the tile I made. Of course it was in the very last box I opened!

If you click on the link above you'll see lots of great ideas for decorating a beach house. I think I've just found the right place for my seashell mirror!

Hope you have a beautiful Mother's Day!

Decisions Decisions...

I think there will be a change in plans. I received my beautiful blue wallpaper yesterday. Sadly, the colors just don't match anything I've made for my bathroom.

I thought about removing the turquoise tiles and putting white or yellow ones in their place? That would be a lot of work now that I have two walls of tile almost finished. Not sure I want to do that...

I'm also thinking of using the wallpaper in the living room. I'm not sure I want such a "busy" pattern in this large room?

I've been planning to recover my sofa anyway and these two fabrics match the wallpaper nicely. What do you think? Bathroom or living room? Save this wallpaper for my next house?!

Oh the decisions we mini decorators must make...

Bath Works

I've been working on some things for the bathroom. This is my third attempt at doing the tile. I have three walls to do so this is just the beginning!

This little blue glass bowl below was the very first miniature item I purchased. I didn't know where I might use it, but it was so pretty that I just had to have it. I think it will make the perfect sink!

The sink cabinet is still a work in progress. It started out way back in August 2009 as a bar. I think it's fun to go back and look at my older posts to see the changes I've made.

I can't decide if I want to add a shelf to the cabinet or a towel bar as shown? The counter top is my attempt at faux marble. Sorry the photo is so bad. It's still dark here this morning!

I sanded, primed and am painting the tub. I may have to change the color once I get my wallpaper? I used a Krylon silver leafing pen to paint the faucet and the tub foot.

As you can see, I still have a lot of work to do! Guess I'd better get back to gluing tiles...

Hope you have a lovely day!
