Pink Saturday Pink Bathroom

Happy Pink Saturday and welcome to our Pink Bathroom. When you are finished in the Powder room please go on over to Beverly's at http://www.howsweetthesound.typepad.com/ to see more pink pretties.

In this Pink Bathroom we used an old sideboard and wash bowl for our vanity. The pictures will reflect a few trips.

Which of the two mirrors do you like best?
Now we have the hardware on the vanity.
If you look out the door it leads into the sunroom. Dave pulled up the carpet and I painted the floor. I hope to one day do a faux rug. I have to practice my roses which of course will be pink!

I like the way the mirror captures the other mirror and this is a closer look at the bowl.
I found the old corner cabinet at the longest yard sale. And now to give you a peek at the start of the bedroom. A Pink duvet no less.



A Victorian Cottage Restoration is a little like the energizer bunny....it just keeps going and going and going. I really think that when it ends I will be sad because watching it change has been so much fun. I wanted to start immediately on the bathrooms. They were in such bad shape. It was like going into a public restroom taking a look around and then you just back out and say nevermind. Bathrooms are very costly so we did just what we could after the plumber discovered leaks all over the place under the house. The house needed to be completely replumbed. Then we fixed the rotten floorboard and placed tile down. It looks like marble with just a hint of pink in it. With each trip I would take something from Tampa. It is hard to decorate with all of your things in another state. But where there is a will there is a way.


These pictures refect several trips with this or that and so you won't really know what it will look like until we are totally moved in. Then perhaps I can persuade a couple of my blogging buddies to come and help me put the icing on the cake. I have always stayed in rooms at B&B's that were named for someone. So who do you think I should have decorate the rooms? I know there was a blog cabin but how about a Blog Victorian. I am loving the idea!

What a lovely pink bathroom. It must have taken so much time and effort to get it that way. It's worth it! Happy Pink Saturday! :-) Stacey

Beverly said...

Becky, I am so loving every step of your dream project. Of course, I'm not doing all of that hard work you are, but I am living vicariously through your project. And, you are doing the most amazing job.

Now, about the mirror. At first I was certain I liked the first mirror, but then I decided I like the second. Such indecision. ;-) But, my final decision is that I like the first. Why, because I think the dimensions look great with the light fixture. I was wondering how it would look to rub just the slight gold glaze on the mirror frame to tie in to the light fixture and faucet.

Too much information, I know. I hope you aren't sorry you asked. And, I love your blog decorating idea. Too fun.

How fun to be able to have a pink bathroom in your home. I love the floor in the sunroom! Sounds like you are having a great time finding treasures and decorating!

Picket said...

Oh it is so pretty girl....I love that wash bowl for a sink and I went back and forth looking at the mirrors and I love them both but my favorite is the round...just the way it softens the whole look but I think it would be even prettier if it were in a creamy cottagey white...but girl what do I know? lol You keep the one that calls you the most! Everything is just turning out so beautiful!!!! Have a great weekend.

Hola mi querida Becky! como estas? espero realmente que estes muy bien, te escribo en español asi practicas, ¿tu nuera habla español no?tu baño quedo muy bonito y romántico, me gusta mucho cada detalle, tu casa y el trabajo de reciclado que estan haciendo es fantástico y me imagino agotador.
Yo termine de ampliar mi casa y estoy cansada de la gente que trabaja, hay que estar siempre vigilando lo que hacen porque si no lo hacen mal. Por suerte estamos terminando.
Si un dia vienes a Argentina estas invitada, con gusto.
puedes entenderme?
Un abrazo enorme

ROSE VINE COTTAGE said...

Oh Becky it is incredible!! I love all of it. The sink is so pretty on the vanity, love the vanity set on the wall, the pink curtain is to die for, is it old? At first I liked the first mirror but then I think I like the gold one, it looks pretty with the faucet and light fixture and I like the shape. You have done a perfect job and the sitting room looks so welcoming and cozy. Can I be your first guest to stay in that beautiful bedroom??Please.....LOL.
I can't wait to see what else you have for us to drool over!!
Hugs~Kelly

You are ambitious: paint a rug. I'm impressed. Happy Pink Saturday! I'm giving away a BOX of new books. Come enter.

Mo..."Mo's Cottage" said...

OK Becky,
Just "FABULOUS"....I love my "NEW ROOM"..I think you should name it "Mo's Cottage" LOL.....The bathroom is so pretty.....I love everything about it....the sink just makes it look so old and cozy along with the vanity!!!!.....I love the round mirror it just add that softness to the wall and the color looks just right against the pink walls....I love when things don't match.....You done good !!!!!!!
Hugs,
Mo :-)
I did see the wedding cake house I have pictures....I'm going to do a post on our trip...It was sooooo much fun!!!!!

Katie said...

Very nice transformation! I like the round mirror best as it reflects the oval in the cabinet below. I would paint it white though! Happy Pink Saturday!

Cottage Diva said...

Becky,
I have to say what a great job it just keeps blossoming
I am so inspired by all the wonderful ideas. On the mirror they both look great I love the first choice reason being it reflects the look of furniture with the sink plus it's light in color so it doesn't look heavy. Either choice is eye candy!!! Love it

Be Blessed

Myrna said...

Hi Becky! (me jumping up an down waving my hands) can I come? Can I come help "ice the cake"? OH! How FUN that would be!! YOU are doing all the hard work--and a beautiful job of it, I might add! And what fun it would be to get together to decorate! sigh.
Love the bathroom and the bowl you used for a sink--genius!!
I prefer the gold oval mirror--for me it breaks up all the white, ties in with the light fixtures and water faucets.
All GORGEOUS!! You're doing a great job!!!

Gabriela said...

Happy Pink Saturday!

This is such a great PINK post!
This bathroom looks spectatular!

Nikki via The Scarlett Rose Garden said...

Gorgeous. What a great sideboard you found for the project! I like the towel bar at the end.
Was that bowl a vintage peice that you cut a hole in, or was it ordered or something? FAB.

I like both mirrors, but I think I like the round one best. I like how the oval one is reflected too.

The corner cab is too cute.

The sun room is awesome too, gotta love those painted floors!

Sweetie said...

It's obvious by the beauty of your bathroom and bedroom that a lot of hard work and talent have been given to your project. For me the highlight of your bathroom is the lovely sink. Your bedroom is stunning. Happy Pink Saturday.

Carolyn said...

Hi Becky,
I love everything you have done.The bathroom,bedroom and the sunroom are all lovely.I like both mirrors but I would probably go with white and the rubbed gold idea from Beverly sounds good to tie in the gold.But whatever, it is beautiful.Keep up the good work.I would love to be a guest!
Take care,
Carolyn

Kim's Cottage said...

First I had to laugh. What is it with all these bloggy bathrooms this week? LOL

Yours is to die for, though. I love EVERYTHING about it. Absolutely EVERYTHING! Just let me roll out a cushy pallet to sleep on & I could live in that room.

By the way, I like the 1st mirror the best. But it might be the white that sold me on it. Maybe if the 2nd one was painted white I'd love it just as much. I don't know. Two many decisions. lol

Happy Pink Saturday!

Sandi@ Rose Chintz Cottage said...

Hi Becky,
You've done a lovely job on your bathroom. The vanity & the corner cabinet are wonderful! That sink is a beauty too and I've never seen anything like it before. It is the prettiest thing! I'm almost embarrassed to post mine on my blog after seeing the incredible job you've done. I like the white mirror best; with a little gold rubbed into the frame.
Great job!
Blessings,
Sandi

Sandi@ Rose Chintz Cottage said...

Becky, I just showed your bathroom pictures to my hubby and he really likes the white mirror! He says you did a fabulous job!!
Blessings,

imjacobsmom said...

What a beautiful vanity and sink! I think that I prefer the oval mirror, but I think that I would like to see it painted to match the sideboard and maybe antique it a little with a bit of gold rub. - Hope you're having a Happy Pink Saturday! ~ Robyn

Hi Becky, what a lovely re-do in your bathroom, I like both mirrors, but especially the white one! I may have to visit your bed and breakfast one day! I love staying at a bed and breakfast when we do travel. Suzie Button

Mrs. Cherry Heart said...

Ohhhhh Becky the buffet turned vanity is wonderful!
Love the bowl and faucet!
Oh La La!!!!
You have my heart!

I have an old buffet in the barn that I have been saving for hubby to put in our master bath but he thinks it will not look right...I can't wait to show him yours!

You two are perfect for that house...I am so glad you rescued it and are filling it with love!

I love the oval mirror but white and shabbied up a bit!
I think its unanimous!

Hugz, Dolly

P.S. I would love to make a reservation to come and stay!
Beware I may not want to leave!

Oh my.. Your new pink bathroom is just beautiful. I love how you incorporated the antique buffet and washbowl. They look lovely and add a special charm to the room. If it were me, I would pick the white mirror. Can't wait to see what you decide with be the final choice for your pretty new bathroom.

Happy Belated Pink Saturday!

Sharon~heartsongs said...

That corner cabinet is perfect. I would like to find one of those. I like the oval mirror. You have done such a great job with this house!

Cynthia's Cottage Design said...

Hi Becky!

Cynthia's Cottage Design said...

Hi Becky,

I dont know how I missed that question! I would go with the square one, only because it doesnt over take the beauty of the vanity, that vanity is so gorgeous , it should be the first thing to stand out ;) thanks for your comments too!! ~ hugs ~ Cyn

Nancy Rosalina said...

Thank you so much for your visit and comment on my blog!Please come back anytime! I am loving your blog! That sink is gorgeous!!!! Thanks for sharing it! Blessings, Nancy

Tricia said...

Oh My Gosh! Becky, you saw the dream and are making it come true. I love everything you have done to the prettiest cottage ever. I think the white mirror reflects the feel of the outside of the house. However, I think the accessories tie in the oval mirror well too. So sorry your chandelier was a bummer! I like the bling on the temporary one though. Love the little guest towel rack in the powder room too.

said...

Good heavens! The vanity! The corner cabinet! The square mirror (my fave)! I am swooning.

Margie said...

Lovely bathroom and bedroom! I think I like the first mirror the best, I just like how it fits under the lights, and the white of it in the room. I like Beverly's idea of adding some gold to it, to tie it in with the faucet and light fixture.

I'm so impressed, you seem to be flying through these renovations! (although to you, who are actually doing the work, it probably doesn't seem like it!)

Have a lovely day!
Margie

Annabelle said...

Becky, it's so pretty. It would be so nice to spend time in there! There is an award for you on my blog. It's under "Another Award" post.

I like the gold mirror best.

I have envy over the things that you have done in this home. I know your working hard.

Ciao

Robin said...

your home is so beautiful! I've read through your entire blog and can not believe how quickly you have transformed this gem! Congrats for a beautiful job well done!

Dena said...

Hi, I just found your blog and I have to say; I am a country prim girl myself but I have a secret girly cottage side too. I love your home. The bathroom vanity and sink is AWESOME! I recently saw a teacup chandalier with mix and match pastel cups and saucers that would be absolutely gorgeous in your home. I'm sure it would be fairly simple to make one of your own. Anyway, thanks for sharing your beautiful home. Dena~

This bathroom is just darling. I personally like the white mirror, but I think you should go with the one that makes you feel the best.
