Welcome back to the One Room Challenge,
where 20 bloggers are re-doing one room in six weeks.
Since I am redoing our guest room in blue and white,
I decided to add some blue to the adjoining bathroom.
Here, you can see that I’ve added a zig zag rug
and striped hand towels from West Elm.
This is my daughter’s room when she visits.
Above is her little Limoges cup that she received
when she graduated from the eighth grade
at the Marymount School of Paris.
Pretty guest soaps.
Note the coordinating paper hand towels.
Just a preview before the “Big Reveal” next week…
Li from Woody Liana is making some beautiful
pillows for the guest room.

AND…I am actually in Winter Park, Florida
right now helping a friend decorate her

University of Florida, after spring break, said
“Mom, this is going to be a Super Blog!”

I can hardly wait for the unveiling of the Woody Liana pillows next week. I know they will be the crowning glory to your bedroom challenge. You are already the winner in my book!

March 18, 2013 at 12:04 amI recently purchased the same fouta hand towel from West Elm, only mine was charcoal and white. I like the way you layered them over the traditional towels to add dimension to the space.
