After - The Master Bathroom...

This the Master Bathroom and again I took the pictures going from right to left. 

We chose to go with beadboard in here too, but changed the wall color to this soft green.

Here, we put in a cabinet for towel storage and I added glass knobs.  

I didn't want to have a jetted tub.  What I did want, was this deep soaking tub with arm rests that my husband found for me.  This tub is 18 inches deep and my six year old granddaughter (when she was little) loved to swim in it.  Since I live with rheumatoid arthritis, it really helps when I'm in pain.

The watercolor above the tub, I bought on our first trip to Charleston, SC.   

I got this 3 light chandelier for over the tub.  Mr. Bird Nest even put a dimmer on it for me without my asking.

I especially love my tub when all the tea lights are lit on this little tree.

Sorry about the glare in the pictures.  Sometimes, I wonder if I'll ever get them right. 

After I had a party at my house, a friend (who was here for the first time) gave me the two birdhouses on this shelf from her shop.  I found the little bird at Real Deals in Greenville, SC. 

We bought this stock mirror at Lowe's or Home Depot and I added some wood pieces and painted it white.  The vanity top is again a man-made product but it's really easy to keep clean.  I forgot to take a picture of the white cabinet below but it has two doors, three drawers and glass knobs.  

You can see the shower at the back of the bathroom.  It's 48 inches wide and you just step in.

When I had my knee replacement surgery, I was able to have a chair in it to help me.  This was the space we took from the original guest bath.

We do have a window in this bathroom.  From the left on top is a little picture of Mountain Laurel (PA's state flower) that my sister gave me.  Below it are two doilies that my mother had matted and framed.  The suncatcher over the window was a gift from a friend.  I'm not sure what you call the little guy to the right of the window but my old boss and his wife brought it back for me on a trip to Italy.

This little chair was given to me by my favorite aunt.  Actually, she gave me two of them.  Lucky me!

This is the flooring that I chose.  It's vinyl and super easy to clean.  Both of our bathrooms get a lot of use with the pool in the summer and I love that the kids can just drop their suits and towels and I don't have to worry until I can get them all picked up.

As I told you before, the total we spent on both of these bathrooms was between $5,000 and $6,000. 
I watch the same TV shows that you probably do and they raise your expectations to such a point that unless you have unlimited funds, you think you can't have it in your home.  We're living proof that it can be done for less and you can love it!
