Le Bain: Powder Room Sign Redo

Here’s a quick little project I tackled over the weekend.

I had a little wooden sign that was cute, but just didn’t have a place in my new home.  I painted it Annie Sloan’s Old White and then attempted to use my super-awesome (sarcasm!) freehand to write Le Bain (the bath). 

Don’t judge my poor excuse for a drop cloth, nor my choice of dog food. I’m on a budget people! 😉
I then traced the letters with Glidden’s Deepest Aqua.  I got a 2 oz. paint tester at Walmart for less than $3!  When it was dry I used clear wax to set the paint.  I finished off my little sign with a fabric rosette made from the same fabric as the curtains and voila:

As much as I like my new sign, it confirms how badly I could use a Silhouette!  This is definitely another project in the “it doesn’t have to be perfect…” book.

Easy Powder Room Prettification

My little downstairs powder room was in need of a some life – and some storage!
So I took this old 4-square shelf…

mixed a little Old White and Duck Egg and ended up with this.

The color turned out to be the prettiest sea foam green – I just love it!
It is the prettiest little thing to look at while using the bathroom washing your hands.
Plus I have storage for diapers, TP, q-tips and my Grandmother’s vintage hand towels.
So happy with the result!
