Adore these old shaving mugs...reminds me of a time when things were slower and more deliberate...

"The touch, the feel of cotton....the fabric of our lives...." Remember that commercial?... There are some questions about the quilt...Yes it's hand made. Squares with stars in the centers and an appliqued leaf border . Hangs high above the shower on a pressure rod so as not to get wet when the showers in use. It's the boldest splash of color in the room...

Sun shining, a soft breeze moving the chenille curtain, Heavenly...


Well... there you have it, Le Bath ... with many tweeks to come in the future I'm sure...



I hope your time here was enjoyable and you came away with some ideas to make your place a little more your own, xoxo~Kathy. HAPPY SATURDAY... p.s. Yesterday I took a class in the art of "Cement Leaves" for the garden....OOOhhh! My ... I will pick it up on Monday, ( it's very large) and post for you to see. Start collecting some sand and cement because YOU WILL want to make a few of these...Love, xoxo.

  7. A delighful creative site you've featured here, Kathy. Thanks for stopping by and introducing yourself to another fellow Michigan blogger. My dauther-in-law's family has a cottage near you at Lake Missaukee! I'm writing from our cottage here at Hubbard Lake. A late comment since my sister died unexpectedly last week ... we are here with heavy hearts dealing with details. I've added myself to your followers, hoping to catch up on all when I return home tomorrow.

  9. Thank you for stopping by my blog! I am delighted that you did so, because I'd never have found yours if you hadn't!

    I love the idea of chenille curtains in the bath - and I love all that white! I haven't smelled, "Beach" but my current favorite is "Sea Island Cotton" from Bath & Body Works... it smells like fresh air and sheets drying on the line to me.

    Your grandchildren are lovely, and it's good to know that I'll have someone to craft with again one of these days!

  15. Hi Kathy! I've been drooling over your "tweaks" since you started and I love your grand finale! Such a fresh and lovely bathroom. Even with a small window, the bathroom looks so sun-filled. The more I see the knobs on the cabinet, the more I really like them! You did a fabulous job!

    Hope you had a lovely weekend!

  21. Hi Cathy!
    Thank you so much for your lovely message! Nice to meet another blogfriend :)
    Gosh, your images are so big and impressive, I get a really good feeling how is looks like in your home. And what an airy and light bathroom you have! Pretty! Our bathroom is so incredible tiny and has not a single window. I miss that a lot, and specially a bigger room for the both of us. But this apartement is temporary, so we have time enought to find a house with a big bathroom. First on my list!! And then a huge kitchen :)

    Have a great week!

  22. Kathy- I just finished reading through your entire bath serios and I love it! Those chenille curtains are so beautiful and all the white really brightens up the space. Your photos are incredible as well, what kind of camera do you use? I've just started looking for a new camera for close up detail shots.
