room reveal: farmhouse bathroom

I finally (almost) finished a room today.

The farmhouse bathroom is now (almost) complete.

I need to hang a picture of the girls and maybe a few other signs, but for the most part, it is how I want it.

So here it comes. 

The very first "room reveal" for the farmhouse.

Try to remember that I had some "help" from a certain 3-year-old while taking the photos.  

Right now, there is only one bathroom in the farmhouse.  

We are going to be adding a second bathroom upstairs in the next month or so, but for now...this is it.

It's a pretty large bathroom for being such an old house.  

This built-in storage closet is great.  I decided not to put a curtain or anything up, so I wanted the shelves to be somewhat uniform.

I ended up getting some brown plastic woven baskets and these Sterilite 3-drawer units to add some organization to the closet.  They look pretty sharp, if I do say so myself.

​The antique dry-sink that sits right outside the closet area is something I purchased when we first got married from some good friends of ours.  It is housing our bath towels, hand towels, and wash cloths. 

(Sidenote: I was going to try to hide the blow dryer and straightener basket, but let's be honest...I will actually put it away if it is organized in plain sight!)

The rustic chair was a $1.00 garage sale find several years ago.  I like how it fit so nicely in the corner, without blocking the air vent.

You can see that the tile work in the bathroom is beautiful.  It had been remodeled by the sellers and we absolutely love it.  The tub is the original cast-iron and the tile work goes from the top of the bathtub to the ceiling in the tub area.  

Right inside the bathroom door is a little post-office type shelf that I purchased at least 14 years ago, before we got married.

It has been used in lots of different rooms in both of our former homes.  

This is perhaps my favorite set up for it.  It is housing all of my essential oils.  

(Sidenote: I'm not a purchaser of DoTerra or Young Living or any other oil company, so please don't try to sell me some other kind or judge my use of these.  These are oils that have come in my Melaleuca kits over the last year.  I don't rub them on my children or ingest them, so no worries.  I have contacts if I decide to dive in!)

But seriously...how adorable is my little post-office box oil display???

To the left of the closet is the shower, sink, and toilet.  

The sellers had a custom-made towel rack and toilet paper holder in the bathroom.  They wanted to take it with them and of course, we said yes!

I found a brushed bronze toilet paper holder to match the other plumbing fixtures that would fit exactly into the current holes in the tile.

I wanted to build a towel rack out of iron plumbing pipe, but decided to look at Amazon just in case.  

I love Amazon Prime.

Sure enough, I found this toilet paper holder that I thought would be PERFECT as a hand towel rack!

I hung it up today and voilá!  

It's exactly what I pictured!

(Sidenote: The hand towel is definitely not pressed and pristine.  Once again...real life here, people.  It had just been used and this is how it landed.  It is what it is!)

We have been staying here now for five days.

Today, I noticed something exciting.

We have a medicine cabinet behind the mirror.

Yeah, seriously.  

I had no idea.

Little surprises every day at Farmhouse654!
