A Bathroom Update: The Chartreuse Outhouse

We recently updated our powder room.  I am starting to feel like our house is a little too serious so I thought I'd try something a little more playful in the bathroom


There is zero natural light in the bathroom... sorry for all the harsh shadows!  I had an idea to make a faux outhouse door out of some old pallet wood.



I just used nails to hold the whole thing together and then painted the moon and star on it.


I used to be a big Phish fan; the inspiration came from their Farmhouse album cover.




I really love it, I wish it gave off a little more light though.  My husband was joking about the overall look we were going for in the bathroom... he calls this style "industrial outhouse".  Maybe it's a trend that will catch on!

The whole look is a little bold and took some getting used to, but I really like it now.  I found the cutest hooks at Hobby Lobby; they were only a little over $2 with the 40% off coupon.


I made little loops from ribbon to help the towels stay on the hooks.  It just helps a lot when there are little kids using the towels regularly.  The tutorial for that can be found here.

What do you think?  Too bold?  Too "outhouse"?  Thanks so much for stopping by!

Blessings,
Jamie

  2. Jamie! It looks like my powder room...I mean the color! You can make it look less harsh by using natural light light bulbs...it really makes a difference. I love, love, love the turbine pendant! So very cool.

  3. What a cute theme ~ I love it and the color. I have that same little bird hook and just put mine up last week (to hide some other nail holes...I make more holes instead of patching...that's the way I roll!).

    Have a great weekend.
    Hugs,

  7. I struggle with finding the balance between "too serious" and "too kindergarten" in my house, too ;). Love the outhouse sign! Industrial outhouse...yes, I think there's definitely a future trend there!

  12. This is indeed so playful! From the color of the walls to your accessories - you did a very good job! These photos look good, even though you don't have natural light inside the bathroom. Hehe! Well, I'm sure you've been enjoying its design until today. Hope you also share your other rooms to us. Thanks! :)

  16. Recording success in Cryptocurrency, Bitcoin is not just buying and holding till when bitcoin sky-rocks, this has been longed abolished by intelligent traders ,mostly now that bitcoin bull is still controlling the market after successfully defended the $40,000 support level once again ad this is likely to trigger a possible move towards $50,000 resistance area However , it's is best advice you find a working strategy by hub/daily signals that works well in other to accumulate and grow a very strong portfolio ahead. I have been trading with Mr Carlos daily signals and strategy, on his platform, and his guidance makes trading less stressful and more profit despite the recent fluctuations. I was able to easily increase my portfolio in just 3weeks of trading with his daily signals, growing my 0.9 BTC to 2.9BTC. Mr Carlos daily signals are very accurate and yields a great positive return on investment. I really enjoy trading with him and I'm still trading with him, He is available to give assistance to anyone who love crypto trading and beginners in bitcoin investment , I would suggest you contact him on WhatsApp: +1(424)285-0682 and telegram : @IEBINARYFX for inquires and profitable trading platform systems. Bitcoin is taking over the world.

    Beware of Bitcoin investment schemes where scammers, posing as experienced "investment managers," lure investors with tales of massive cryptocurrency profits. Promising hefty returns, these fraudsters ask for an upfront fee, only to vanish with your money, leaving you with empty promises. They may even ask for personal information under the guise of fund transfers, risking your cryptocurrency security. Don't let the allure of quick wealth cloud your judgment. Always verify the credibility of those you're investing with and remember, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Stay informed, invest wisely, and protect your digital assets.
