Even though there are only 2 of us who live here, we enjoy the convenience of having 5 bathrooms. I don't think I have ever shown this bathroom before, not even on RMS. It has a door leading out to the pool so it is very practical, especially when we have a pool party. It is also convenient when coming from a long trip and you need to go very badly, cause it is just across from the garage door entry to the house. John wanted to put a bench there for grandkids to stand on when they are getting dressed after a shower and you can see that it is very narrow. But I moved a bench that we had in the garage anyway, temporarily. The mosaic below is the "Before" pictures.
I saw this silky shower curtain from TJ Maxx last weekend from the clearance bin for $3. I bought it with the intention of selling it at my store but when I opened it, I really liked the color so I used it instead and it served as an inspiration for my makeover process.

The bench that used to be here have already been replaced by this smaller one a month or 2 ago. I must have mentioned this bench on an earlier post but never really showed it. I bought it from one of the other vendors in the store for I think $22 and it is solid wood. I like the fact that it is very narrow so I think it's perfect there.

I added a pot with faux lavenders that I have had for years. Nothing in this room really is new except for the shower curtain. I mostly just shopped around the house so this makeover only cost me $3.

I added some twigs to the jar that I picked up from the garden.
The toilet is behind the shower wall. The long oil painting is one I made of St. John's Basilica located in Izmir, Turkey. I took the picture when we went there and just copied it from the picture.
Someday, I will upgrade this bathroom. I want to replace the flooring (some tiles are cracked), sink , cabinet, mirror and lighting. I am just waiting for my son in law to come and help me.
The white door leads out to the pool deck and the brown door leads to a hall that goes to the kitchen and garage.

I moved this oil painting with lilacs from our guest room that I designate for my mom to use when she is with us. I painted it when I was still in Florida. I thought it goes well with the shower curtain.
I moved the bunny from the foyer and placed him on top of the wicker basket that holds extra towels.
You can see the lilac painting reflecting on the mirror.
