Home Sweet Almost Home #5 :: The Bathroom Walls

Escrow was suppose to close on the 15th but, it hasn’t. There are delays with the lender that I really don’t understand. So, I sit here and wait as we go into month three of the escrow process. What is keeping me optimistic are the little items of decor I find and the great design ideas I get from my friend and interior designer, Kelly Lafosse. Be sure to check out her website! She does awesome work and really knows how to fit the design to her client’s personality!

So today, I share with you some bathroom wall ideas! Here is a view of part of the bathroom. Before you walk into this area, there is a narrow hallway where the closets are.

I want something kind of fun on these walls so this is what Kelly sends me!

Graham & Brown- Midsummer Wall Paper

If I have this on my walls I’m pretty sure I will sit in the bathtub all the time so I can stare at it! It is pretty pricey though… $60 a roll! So I was thinking… what else could I do that would be similar? Well, I could paint the walls silver and stencil the pink leaves! I found this stencil which has a similar look!

Oversize Falling Leaves Stencil 1

The stencil is $93 (I could only find it on a UK website) which seems a lot more reasonable then the $60 a roll for the wallpaper. If I had an unlimited budget, I’d go for the wallpaper but the stencil will definitely work too!

All of the ideas are coming along so now all I need is the loft! There will definitely be a painting party when I get it so let me know if you want to come!!! =)

On a sidenote… If you are currently in the escrow process at the same lofts I’m at, please email me! I’d love to know what you are hearing from the lender!

Melissa Munding - Wallpaper in a bathroom isn't always the best anyway because of the steam from the hot water. I think the stencil is an awesome way to go. I love the girly glam-ness of the whole thing!

Richelle - Good point Melissa!
