It is a cool and rainey day, so a good day to stay in and "piddle". Finished up a little project for my 1/2 bath, made some homemade pimento cheese, played on the computer and finished some cleaning that I started Friday morning before I decide to go "play" for the rest of the day.
Time for Metamorphosis Monday hosted by Susan @ Between Naps on the Porch http://betweennapsontheporch.blogspot.com/. Thank you Susan for hosting this fun weekly event. First: I want to ask - Do you know how hard it is to photograph a tiny 1/2 bath !?!? As some of you may remember I started on a 1/2 bath project a while back - in August I think. Before:
Then I did this:
Since then I spray painted one of the fenials I got at HL on sale and put it in the opposite corner.
I could not find what I wanted to add with the candle holder and wall piece with the keys - Gotta be odd numbers you know. :-) So spray painted an urn that I already had, added a little raindeer moss, a spray painted white pumpkin with an added rubon and Wa La!
I will replace the pumpkin with something in a cranberry or pomagranate color after Thansgiving.
I found the rug at TJ Max yesterday, but may take it back. I like the rug - it is a cream colored, with a black and tan design on it, but not sure it is big enough.
Sorry for the blurred picture, but this is the picture I pulled the pomegranate color from.
While at TJ Max, I looked for a couple of prettier hand towels and black and white soap dispenser, but they did not have what I wanted. Will check around at other places when get a chance. Other than that -
I am calling this project done!!! I had hoped to get the flooring replaced before the Holidays, but not sure that will happen. A friend just got an estimate to have her 1/2 bath flooring replaced (same size as mine), and it seems that the better known places have what they call a set "small project" fee. In other words: They may only charge so much per square foot labor, but they also have a minimum labor charge - They are gonna get you one way or the other!!! Got to re-think the situation.
This is my contribution to Met. Monday. If you have not already, go over to visit Susan to see what she and the other participants have to share.
Have a great week.

Glenda-I am "piddling" in this weather too--the honoree of my baby shower had her baby boy last night so I have been to see him!! I think I can use that rug in my kitchen--let me know if you take it back :) The bathroom looks great--love the white pumpkin and black accents!
Your bathroom looks so pretty! And the pumpkin is the unexpected touch to make everyone smile! Thanks for always commenting on my blog - even though I don't comment often, I do visit often!
The bathroom looks wonderful. You did a fantastic job with the pictures. Yes, I do know how hard a small bath is to photograph or any bathroom for that matter. I love the cute little urn with the pumpkin, it is really pretty, and the finial is wonderful too. I think you've done a wonderful job with this room. Hugs, Marty

I just LOVE TJ Maxx and Marshalls. Not fortunate enough to have a Hob Lob though, boo hoo, sniff sniff, WAAAAA! Great powder room!
I really love what you have done--it looks adorable! I have some very small bathrooms so I can emphathize with trying to take photos!! My TJ Maxx does not carry much houseware....
It looks GREAT!!
Your accessories are perfect for the room. I like the black and white.
I love what you have done with your bathroom! I would not have thought to put a pumpkin in the bathroom. Too cute!
I love the black accessories with that pretty blue wall color.
Love the little white pumpkin on the black urn.

Great job. I like the colors.
i love all your new bathroom accents, very simple but effective changes
I love the pumpkin and candle together. I'm so thankful for white pupkins! They are great to decorate with.
Hi Glenda,
Just popped in from BNOTP and saw the finial, urn & pumpkin, so creative, just great.
Will be getting my TJ fix this coming weekend when we visit HHI once again.

Love the black and white, I am such a fan of that combination and I love the way you used it on the pumpkin....I am a new follower of yours, come visit me often...thanks for stopping by
Your tiny bathroom is just ADORABLE. I love all the painted black accents. I have two small baths in my house. It's so hard to decorate them and still have room to turn around in them. Ha!
Hello what a beautiful blog
loved your blog is a charm.
visit my blog too
kisses
You've done a nice job on this half bath, Glenda. I like the urn w/the pumpkin and reindeer moss. The tall finial adds some good height to the counter. Did you decoupage on the designs to the candle and pumpkin? Thanks for stopping by for a visit this morning. Hope you'll be back again sometime.
:-) Sue
Oh my goodness, I LOVE everything you've done here. The black and white touches are SO classy!!! The pumpkin on the black urn w/ rub-on turned out beautiful. And the coordinating rug, is the cherry on top. Way to go!! : )

I love the black paint redos!!
Very Nice!
Love it all but especially the little pumpkin!!!
Your pumpkin turned out really nice! Black always looks good in a room. It turned out really nice!

Hi Glenda, love all the black and white. It looks fabulous!!

I think I need to make a white pumpkin with a fleur de lis on it like yours!
I've been wracking my brain to find an interesting way to display my pumpkins this year - and I think you just inspired me! Love the fluer de lis painted on them! :) GREAT JOB!!!
I love all the details you added! The key holder, pumpkin, and candle are gorgeous! We put laminate in one of our bathrooms recently, it was fairly easy and only cost us about $125 for the floor. I have pictures on my blog under the project how-tos tab if you are interested.
Hi Glenda, Oh I like the black touches in here, that pumpkin is to cute!
Great job!
