Master Bath Makeover (part 3)

Where we love is home - home that our feet may leave, but not our hearts.
Oliver Wendell Holmes

My Master bath has been a work in progress and I'm not even doing any major remodeling!  I am just going with what is here for now as I'm not ready to put any major money into a remodel right now.  Last week I covered the vanity area.  You can see that full post HERE  

Below is the area I decorated this week.

That is a  full length mirror in the back  of the above photo which is at the entrance to our closet.  I don't like not having a door there but there isn't really room for one.  Last week I showed you how I cut a sheer in half lengthwise and used it along the mirror.  I got another sheer and hung it inside the closet on a rod so we can pull it to and fro as needed.  It's just enough cover that you at least feel like you've got a bit of privacy to dress.

This floral garland over the doorway is full of large blooms, cascading leaves and branches.  I love it!

To the left of the entrance to the closet there is a wall just wide enough that I was able to hang a small collection of woven straw purses.  These double as little storage spaces for other items (scarves, gloves, etc.)

On this one I pinned one of my Grandma's antique brooches I inherited

There is a linen closet just to the left of the closet entrance with a narrow wall and here I put a metal and ceramic hook and hung some purses, more inherited vintage jewelry.  My Mother in law gave me the cuffed bracelet that rests atop the round brown purse when I first married Shawn.  It had belonged to her Mother.  It's beautiful and very special to me.

Some of these necklaces have glass beads and are quite heavy.  I think they are beautiful!

 

I brought in a little wine table to hold some books and an 1830's transferware handleless cup and saucer.  The little bird peeking out is one my Mom gave me.

Below the table I added a few more purses...one is a little cottage which I bought at an antique shop years ago...I've lost the handle ;-( , one is a thrift store find...I love the design on this straw buckle bag and lastly a little evening purse I also found at a thrift store for $2.  It is new but had not been used...the colors are perfect in my bathroom.

I had just enough room to squeeze in a French beside the table, still leaving room to access the closet.  I don't get in the linen closet but once a week so it's easy to move the chair aside for that..

I've got a gorgeous needlepoint rug and on oval Persian.  I played around with both rugs and different pillows in the chair...not sure which I'll leave in place...what do you think?  I suppose I could use them both at different times for a little change.

 That's all for now! Let me know what you think by commenting.  Have a great week all!
