This scene started with the Rement beauty storage cabinet on the right, which I'd mentioned to Div last weekend when she said she planned to make a Componbili unit sometime soon. I had it sitting on the workbench, waiting for me to buy the white paint needed to cover the (green) top and (yellow and blue) handles. Which I did on the way home.
I decided on a bathroom scene since I haven't done one for a while. The wall colour came from the original painting, which was part of an estate lot I bought off eBay a couple of months ago, and gave me my first feel for where the scene was heading. I wanted to play with using my window with a view, so that was the next design decision. The bath would be the biggest piece in the scene: clawfoot tub or modern DHE one? The modern tub won out. Flooring was from a bag of wood veneer I picked up from Lifeline last Monday for $1, a lovely light piece.
With the basics in place I got to play. I remembered the bathroom pieces I received in my Advent Swap, and, as I suspected, they were the perfect colours.While hunting for some white fluffy towels I knew I had tucked away I came across the oar, various bottle shaped bits and the white mirror, which I added :
(Still not sure about it, though).
The pouffe is Lundby, the plant, Rement and the mat was woven for me years ago by someone I knew. The shells were collected off a beach on by me around the same time. (If only my real bathroom was this serene...)
Lovely, I like the little shell in a jar detail.
ReplyDeleteAnd now I'm very tempted to do a makeover on my round Rement cabinet as well, it looks great!
The shell in a jar came out of a friend's daughter's Christmas cracker. Said friend is now well enough trained to swipe it from daughter immediately and give it to me the next time he saw me.
ReplyDeleteI wonder how the rement cabinet would look in black.... ;-)
I think it's beautiful. I love that blue color and all the little details.
ReplyDeleteI, too, am a big fan of your Re-Ment cabinet makeover. It looks a billion times better!
