My Vintage-Bohemian Style Bathroom

I started out wanting a Bohemian theme bathroom with a purple like this:

Alas, I couldn't find any color even remotely close... so I went with this (from one of those $1.99 bottles of acrylic at WalMart leftover from one of the kids projects):


When we moved in, the walls had about 6 layers of hideous wallpaper on them.  The original layer had been glued straight to the drywall, so taking it off quickly became a huge nightmare.  Nine months later, I finally got sick of looking at the yucky walls, so I decided to make a messy texture with some of the plaster stuff that my husband had used to fix the kitchen walls (again with the wallpaper glued to drywall).


After the walls were purple, I was REALLY unhappy with the wooden cabinet.  I printed off some free printables online and decoupaged until it was covered.


I powdered some of my soft pastels and mixed that with modge podge to add a touch of color to a few of the pieces:


Of course I had to cover the light switch and fan switch as well :)


I still need to figure out what I'm doing with the rest of the wood trim in the room, make some paintings to hang on the wall and frame some other things, but its looking MUCH MUCH better!


My hubby found this clock for me at a garage sale and it fits perfectly!
