what does the painted sign say…tractor? or farming?

My profuse apologies for taking so long to get back to this post with the sourcing for paint/TP basket.

The paint was Alexander Julian’s Lichen, although the line has been unfortunately discontinued. However, if you sweet-talk the paint guy at Lowe’s and give him this info, I’ll bet he’ll mix you a trial size of the paint in their Valspar house brand (this info is for a full gallon… we used the satin version): 113-9Y24 101-42 111-26 102-40.

The TP container was from one of Target’s Design Events a few years back, so I don’t think it’s still around. If you’re desperate, I think Wisteria has a similar version for $79…. not cheap, so if price is an issue, you could probably find a vintage version at your favorite antique joint.

Cheers, A

Can you tell me where the TP basket is from? We have a half bath downstairs of our house. There is no place for storage or under the sink cabinet space. I love the idea of the TP presentation in this bathroom.

Thanks!

Anneliese, I toured your gorgeous adobe makeover and it is absolutely amazing. I adore southwestern adobe style and everything that you’ve done to your home is perfect. The kitchen is wonderful – love the bold color on the cabinets. All your hard work was so worth it. Makes me want to hop a plane and spend a week in Santa Fe, one of my favorite places to visit!

ANNELIESE! Yay! I immediately recognized that bathroom, with the orange rug. You are going to have to show off bathroom reno #2 too.

Amazing! Great Job! I’d love to know the brand and name of the paint on the walls? We’re looking for exactly that color and I just cant narrow it down when I’m looking at little paint chips!

If the before makes you cringe, imagine us having to use it! Seriously, when we bought the house (which has had to have just about every element updated), the master bathroom was on year two in the timeline… until I tried to actually use it! The need for a stepstool to vault myself into the bathtub was more than a little awkward.

That shower rod is actually a $3 piece of bamboo from Pier One cut to size and hung from the ceiling with ball chain. Tres cheap, and infinitely more functional than those tension rods which don’t always stay put.

I have before and after pics on my blog if anyone’s interested in SW design, and the physical manifestation of our blood, sweat and tears: http://annelieses.blogspot.com/2009/01/for-amy.html It’s been a blast.

Thanks, Sherry and John, for spreading the creative TP presentation love!

The ‘before’ makes me cringe but also makes the ‘after’ that much better! The curtain rod is ingenious, and I love the somewhat separated pedestal sinks–just enough space to define each area. Super work!
