Mod Cottage Bathroom Redo

How we took our drab boring bathroom to fresh mod cottage!


Here is our upstairs bathroom before.


Our bathroom walls are just a simple white satin by Behr.
They were actually a lovely pastel seafoam green when we moved in.
It was BB (Before Blogging.)

after

With just a few simple touches we went from drab to fab.
A rustic vintage table I picked up from a local junk shop for $10.
There is not a lot of storage, so I used a large basket to roll up our towels.



I used a vintage wire basket to store the t. paper.



The 2 prints came from Dwellings. 
I've actually had them for several years.
From my apartment living days.
And a vase with a pop of fresh green.



I love nothing more than simple white walls. 
I think it really allows for the rooms colors and textures to stand out.
You can help let your warm wood tones stand on their own.
I love to do this when I have a vintage wooden piece I've added to a room.
I think the crisp white walls, rustic wooden table, and modern prints
are the perfect mod cottage mix.

  7. Beautifully done! Love the mix of metal, rustic wood, green plant in a great vase and those stunning art prints. I wonder if I could duplicate those on my own? This bath looks welcoming now.

  18. It's so pretty. I think the large pieces of art is a touch of pure genius. Plus the wire baskets and the addition of the wood table does such a nice job of warming the room up. Love it.

  19. Hi, stopping by from WOW at Savvy Southern Style. I love your bathroom. So simple but so effective that at first I didn't realize it was a bathroom. My eyes went right to the browns of the table/prints and the greenery and then finally realized there was a toilet there. You are so right about the white walls really working with that great wood table. Thanks for sharing and for the inspiration. I'm off to see more of your blog now.
