I love my flea market finds: Wire paper bin and wooden carpenter’s tool box, old crates…

The walls are covered with pretty things I’ve collected over the years, family photos, yard sale treasures, things that inspire me, TLC art and DIY art.

DIY Show Off – Powder Room/Half Bathroom Before and After Reveal

Powder Room #1 Transformation:
First, let’s take a look at the before picture. Keep in mind that previous owners foreclosed on this old farmhouse and that we lived with this room stripped completely for over a year (that nasty carpet and fixtures were gone)! Thank goodness for my ability to see potential, otherwise this alone would have had us running the other direction!

BEFORE – gross!

Originally a closet. I could have patched where the hinges were, but I really like that it’s history shows.
