I have the BEST mother-in-law!



A few months ago my mother-in-law came to me to help her make over her master bathroom. I was so excited to be able to help and so thankful to her. She put everything in my hands and with a budget of about $400 we were able to change window treatments, paint and accessories.

These are the before pictures:

This green can make a person look washed out-not the best color for a bathroom with an
oversized mirror! The accessories also needed a little updating!


These are the after pictures: I chose a shade of blue that would complement the ice blue tiles in the tum and shower. The window treatments warmed up the space and gave it a rich feel. The also have a thick fabric backing to keep out the heat and cold as well as providing privacy. I bought all of the accessories at West Elm.

Afterwards, My mother and law told me that everyone she showed the room too loved it, even the men in the family! It was a great experience that taught me about staying within a budget, color schemes and accessory placement.
