Still on the Bathroom

The bathroom is finally back together after the making it right day because HeadUpHisAss guy screwed it up originally.
Isn't it weird to take photos of the bathroom?  It's such a personal place.
But I did.  And after looking at them, I'm kind of amazed that it is so Shabby Chic looking.  It was 10 years ago when I picked up the Rachel Ashwell cupboard and medicine cabinet. I'm thinking the Shabby Chic thing should have been real obvious at that point! I still really love the bathroom.  I just didn't know it was so Shabby looking the photo's.

 The Paris sign my friends picked up at a Yard Sale (YS).  They are YS Queens and find the best stuff. They are my YS heroines.  I've never known anybody who could find such great treasures from YSing.

 The green Jadeite vases are actually my Mom's that I begged for.  I already had one here at Gram's house because she had accidentally carried if off from Mom's to her house.  She did this sometimes to all of us with things she really liked and felt she needed to have.  I thought it was really funny. I remember as a child my mom's sisterinlaws' calling her in St Louis to tell her about Gram's visit and what was missing from their homes.  We never said a word to Gram, and let her enjoy her treasures.  I think maybe it might be something from back in the day when she was so poor.  Her mother passed away when she was only 2 years old. Her Dad remarried and the new stepmom threw all 6 of the sisters out of the house! Gram, Ethel Leona Arnold Stilts, was raised by her oldest sister, Laura Bell Arnold Beal.  She is the "Auntie" in my Auntie RooLoo's Cottage jewelry, facebook page, etc. Did I mention my Great Gramps was a bootlegger?  He also owned a "Baudy House" or Road House.  His girls would look after my Gram in the pre-wicked stepmother days. The story goes that he would load up the Model T with moonshine and throw Gram in the backseat with a blanky and make his deliveries.  I don't really know if it was a Model T, but I enjoy the folklore behind the story.  Gram would NEVER talk about that.

The little chandelier is from Old Timer's Antique Mall in Dexter MO. Not an antique but that's ok. The beadboard was a must to cover the ugly walls.
So that is the end of the bathroom story.  With some extra about my fabulous Gram that I love and miss so much everyday.  Living in her house is a blessing.
