As an interior decorator, I can appreciate the many different styles used in homes today. From traditional to contemporary, eclectic to polished, soft color palettes to those bursting with color. In my own home, I guess you could call it " traditional eclectic, with pops of color". Even though I really like "all white" shabby look, I have not been able to envision my home in this style. I've got to have my color fix! I have been wanting to redo several rooms in our house, and now that I have you, I thought it would be fun to bring you along for the journey..... the slow journey! I have so enjoyed watching what others are are doing in thier spaces, so here goes! I am going to start with our guest bathroom. It's small enough and just needs a little perking up. I love giving powder rooms and guest bathrooms that unexpected pop. We installed a wonderful black and cream toile wallpaper.( Yes,wallpaper is making a comeback!)

| Is that orange or what? |
Our next quick fix addition was a light fixture, mirror, and towel racks. These were all spray painted in a satin black. This room was slowly coming together

| Getting there |
OK, so I still do not like those cabinets. The changes we made in the room made the wood even more orange. What to do.... what to do???? COLOR! It needs a color! Black?.....no to much of a good thing already. Cream?.....no then we have a black and white theme, BORING! Ahhhhh..... Annie Sloan to the rescue!! Provance, it has to be Provance! Just the punch of color I want!!!

| WOW! |
Yes, it is bright, but that was just what I was looking for... the unexpected! I went ahead and kept the crystal knobs since I actually liked them. I also added a new oriental rug on the floor.

| Love the green bunnie. |
By using a few ironstone platters, two colorful pressed glass containers (love the rabbit), a candlestick lamp, and a little artwork I completed my "not to cluttered" acessorizing.

I really like this batroom now and so do my guests.....What do you think???
