Decorating On The Prairie: A Small Bathroom



Decorating On The Prairie 
has a few hopeful dreams
and plans in the works.


Our Main Bathroom is PAINFULLY SMALL.
We have plans to move the upstairs bath into a bedroom 
so we will have a decent size bathroom with claw foot tub. 



When this happens...I know not, 
but am patiently waiting to soak in that tub. 

The present bathroom will become a CLOSET!
Return her to what she originally was designed to be in the good 'ole day of 1901.

Have you changed rooms in your home 
so you'd have better use for that room?

At this time about all that can be done with this small space 
is to add a splash of color with the shower curtain.

For the time being....here are some snaps of the bathroom.
~PEEK A BOO~












All the cleaner.
Thanks for stopping by,

Hi Deanna,

Great to come over and visit you and how lovely your bathroom is - the shower curtains are beautiful.
Love the sweet photo of your girls in the bath - we have an old ball and claw bath.

Happy new week
hugs

I think your new and improved bathroom will be perfect for your home, and the old bathroom will live out it's life as a very much-appreciated closet. I await pictures in the future of your re-do.

You must be excited about all the renovs at Home Haven! I love that stained glass window in your little bathroom. It appears the shower curtain is pink toile on bottom and a stripe border on top? Nice. Toile is a good design choice for your home.
I have new vanity counter tops setting out in the garage, but I can't see them. They are in boxes the size of bathtubs with heavy duty staples and multi-layers of cardboard. I'm dying to see them but will have to wait for the contractor this week-end!
Hope you will continue to post photos of the progress.

Wow! Deanna you have many irons in the fire these days kiddo. The bathroom as well as the kitchen?! Major re-dos! Big projects...but oh the rewards will be wonderful! :)

So happy for you, and that you are making your home your haven! :)

Love, Linda

Wondering what kind of hoist I will have to build to haul that old cast iron tub up to the second floor and through the window? :)

That will be an engineering feat of it's own, not to mention building a new bathroom!

DECORATING

I knew a very frugal Lady named Edith that shared with me a excellent guideline for decorating. She said with ease, "If your room has clean ceilings, floors, and walls, and the windows have nice curtains, you'll have an attractive room."



John 3:7

“Marvel not that I said unto thee,

Ye must be born again.”

King James Version (KJV)

PSALM 118:17

I shall not die,
but live, and declare
the works of the Lord.

PROVERBS 24:3-4

By wisdom
a house is built,
and through understanding

it is established;
through
knowledge

its rooms are filled with rare

and beautiful treasures.

As long as I live, I will have to continually submit to God's plan for my life. You will be blessed because you turned your life over to God. Be confessing how good God is and tell Him you agree with who He says He is. BELIEVE and watch miracles happen. Be not afraid. ~Deanna

FUN FACTS FOR CHANDYS

FUN FACTS FOR CHANDYS
SELECTING THE CORRECT SIZE CHANDY TO USE IN A ROOM MADE EASY. FORMULA MEASUREMENTS: Measure the room's height and width. Add together the numbers. Example: 8' x 10' room is 8 plus 10= 18" Use a 18" wide chandy. OR Take width of room calculating 2" for every foot. Example: 15' wide room. Take 15 times 2 = 30. Room needs 30" wide chandy. Standard distance between the bottom of the chandelier to the top of the table is 30 inches. When hanging the chandelier, make sure to hang it at the proper height. The bottom of a chandelier over a dining table or kitchen island should hang 30 to 32 inches above the top of the table or island. Most rooms call for at least 7 feet of space between the bottom of the chandelier and the floor.

WISHES

NO MATTER HOW BADLY YOU WISH with all your might that the something devastating that happened in your life hadn't happened and want so badly to go back in time to prevent it from happening...it isn't humanly possible to do this. You can't change the fact that it happened. IT DID. But JESUS can change the MEANING of what happened to you and give you PEACE. He can show you the way in which you are to go. God richly BLESS you. ~Deanna
