Our Home: Spare Bathroom

I know this isn't something super glamourous but I LOVE the way it turned out. I was a little disappointed with the structure of the spare bathroom but it is definitely bigger than the 'big' bathroom at the old house. I really wanted a pedastool sink for the spare but I know that isn't necessarily the best for this particular bathroom because of the size. PLUS we would have to buy the sink and then something for storage and we were pretty tight as far as our budget was concerned anyway after closing costs, paint and flooring. So maybe one day we will upgrade - but like I said, I LOVE the way it looks NOW.

Spare Bathroom

This is a picture the day we bought the house:


After:
 

We painted, took up the linoleum and tiled, installed a new light fixture to replace the hollywood style standard bathroom light, AND my favorite part - added faux paneling!!! YAY! Oh I also painted the door knob...but I did that in every room. =)  We still need to add hooks for towels but we just haven't gotten around to that. oh and since this picture was taken, we have unpacked the box that had the shower curtain in it =)

Did you take pride in decorating your spare bathroom??
Did you do anything interesting for it?

I am obsessed with paneling in the bathroom! I just saw one blog where they did the paneling and added towel hooks above it with their kids names. So many cool ways to use it!
