My own little spa

Welcome once again to Transformation Thursday! It's the one day of the week we all get together to celebrate getting stuff done. No matter if you've been coming around for quite a while or this is your first time, everyone is welcome to share their projects, big or small. Just link up at the bottom of this post.
Guess what??? I'm finished!
After two weeks of disarray, my master bath has
been transformed into my own little spa.

We gutted the whole thing, down to the joists and studs,
then put it all back together again - all in 10 days.
 It was CrAzY - but oh so worth it!
When shopping for accessories, I thought outside the "bathroom" section -
 these jars are kitchen canisters.
Baskets from the craft section hold necessities, and
a vintage picnic basket hides the "not pretty" stuff.
I am in LOVE with my new shower -
it's so easy to clean... and it's soooo pretty!
I designed (and Mr. SCC built) a vanity  to hold a
sink we bought last year at a yard sale.
Porch railings from Home Depot ($13 each), were made into the legs,
1x6s are the bottom shelf, and the top is made of birch plywood.
We painted it with my favorite shabby & beachy treatment,
then coated with poly for protection.
Vintage-esque touches popped up in the hardware....
I couldn't find laundry baskets that screamed "FARMHOUSE CHIC",
so I chose two metal beverage tubs - $15 each from Target.
If someone is looking for me...
my bathroom might be a good place to start!

Wall color: Soap Opera by Dutch Boy; shower curtian: Target; bathmat: Target; Window curtains: handmade by me; floors: Ikea; storage jars: Walmart; mirror: Kirklands; faucets: Home Depot; towels: Walmart

Don't forget to stroll down and enter
all the great Christmas Carnival giveaways.

Soooo.... whatcha got? I wanna see and so does everybody else! Just put your PERMALINK into the linky, and please link back here so everyone can find the great ideas. DO NOT link to an Etsy shop, online store or other selling venue. Be sure to say hi to your neighbors - it is a party after all.

Welllll..... let'er rip, tater chip!
