Doing up my bathroom!

 This is what my bathroom begin life as, I had already done the floor and wallpaper on two walls before i took any photos as i couldn't wait to cover up the hideous floral print on the right hand side. I discovered in doing this that my ability to put up wallpaper in dollshouses is 0. I got glue everywhere and cut it all wrong and then ran out of paper. genius. (you can see the white gap at the back top left bit :( not good)

I had put some furniture i had in it already but it looked empty and like i'd just plonked furniture i already had in it. which i had.

 This is the space after i took out the furniture. They are big rooms that allow you alot of scope, so i felt i had to do something cool.

 I had given up on the wallpaper at this point and mixed some acrylic paint to cover the final wall. I wanted a jewel green so mixed 3 greens randomly. they came out great actually! Pot luck!

 The cheap loo came with the house. I decided to try to muck about with it and redesign it instead of paying for a new one.

First i used my man's (Vinny) manly strength to prize the cistern off. I wanted to make it into a loo with the cistern on the ceiling like old fashioned types. But glam.

I painted the cistern black and edged with a sticker and painted the bowl gold and put a black sticker on that. I still need to finish it so its a work in progress.

Next i decided that it would be fancy to have a sort of booth to house the toilet and sink with curtains. I felt it needed a few steps to fully differentiate it from the floor of the main bathroom.

I made a simple box from foam board and covered it in the left over wallpaper to match, i didn't quite have enough so i raided my scrapbooking paper to find a contrasting piece.

The beams were a bugger and i kept having to take it out, cut bits out and shove it back in place. That's my fault for not measuring properly.

I then made the curtains in the normal way with the same fabric i used for the chaise longue and matching chair, i couldn't decide which would finally live there. I then tried to make tie backs, but i had a migraine coming along and the fabric was fighting me all the way so i used a loop of velvet ribbon instead, i think it looks fine.

The Valance at the top of the booth was painted gold and stick on gems from the pound shop no less finished it off.

Then i started putting things back in including a lot of greenery, it's a bathroom cum conservatory! Very posh if i do say so myself!

However as i had added this booth i had used up the only wall to put a cupboard for storage. No problem! I will convert the fireplace! I painted the back gold and stuck in a foam board shelf covered in my last scrap of wallpaper.

The chair won, it lives there with it's footstool and two bears so people can sit and chat to the person in the bath. Well People they are VERY close to anyway!

The hat box is made from an old tea box, it had pretty paper and weirdly i used the same ribbon, complete coincidence! (or maybe i just don't have alot of ribbon so the choice is limited) The slippers are felt and ribbon trim which match the dressing gown hanging on the door, the rest was bought as i'm lazy!

O dear my 'Vinny' wedding cake topper has found his way into the bath - fully clothed. and he's fixed into position so his arms don't come down. stupid boy.

The rug is a proper woven rug and i got it in a sale for 50p! Keep your eye's peeled there are such bargains to be had, and it's perfect colours, green and gold what luck!

Much love

P.S remember this is my first ever room so be kind! I know it's not perfect but from a distance it looks passable!
