Green And White Inside And Out

As I was cleaning our green and white guest bathroom this morning I glanced out the window this is what I saw. I abandoned my cleaning job for a moment and went outside with my camera.

Everywhere I looked it was green and white.

Green and white is such a fresh clean combination. I like a bathroom to be crisp and fresh looking and green and white gives me the look I want. I bought this print from Karen's Etsy shop just because I loved it and when it arrived I knew it would be perfect in our green and white bathroom. Every time I look at the picture I can almost smell the fresh air.This past winter I freshened up the bathroom a bit with a coat of light moss green paint, white trim, new lighting fixtures and a mirror. We had those ugly make up lights, all round a large mirror. The lights came down and 2 simple chrome ones went up in their place and I took an old mirror I had and hung it over the double sink. What a transformation for very little money. I forgot to take a "before" picture!
Recently I added a shelf above the window.Lace on the curtains softens the look.I finally found a use for these brackets that I've saved forever. A battenburg lace shower curtain from a yard sale years ago came out of the linen closet.Then I arranged a few things on the shelf, mostly stuff I had around the house plus two new white pitchers from T J Maxx.

Here is a close up of the top of the mirror. I love the classic lines of it. I got this at a church rummage sale back in PA. It was an ugly brown at the time.
It's not a very large bathroom so this was the best shot I could get.Whenever I walk down the hall and glance into the bathroom , this is what I see. Green and white , inside and out! I love it!
Hope your week is off to a good start.

  2. Oh how pretty. You have inspired me to put a shelf above my bathroom window. I think it would look lovely. Maybe I could even get Mr. Hip to let me paint the bathroom a pretty green color.

  5. You did a great job on this room. That mirror is really nice. I love lace in all forms. Your pictures are really good, you could frame one and put it in the bathroom too.

  10. What a lovely, fresh bathroom. I painted our laundry/downstairs bathroom a pretty pear green and hung a print of a line of laundry. If I'm going to be in there doing laundry I want to be a little uplifted!

  11. Nice redo! I love green and white as well. As my sister noticed not too long ago- I have a lot of green in this house. Even though red energizes me and makes me happy, green is my color to live with. It is truly the color of life.
