The Facilities

The new house has 4 bathrooms.  We currently are blessed to have 2 in our tiny space.  One bathroom is just NOT enough for a big family and we have "made do" just fine with 2 - at least one is usuable if the other is occupied. I am just thankful for indoor plumbing!  But 4 is going to be luxury as the Master and 2 of large bedrooms have their own private full bathrooms.  The 4th is off the long hallway and will service the other 2 boy bedrooms. I originally intended for it to be a 'guest' facility too - but I am not sure that is going to be such a good idea since it will be used mostly by the 3 younger boys! 

The Master bedroom has an adjoining dressing room with sink and then off that adjoins to small rooms - one accomodates the shower and the other the "facility".   This is the first room I started "playing house" in - way before it was time to do things like this - but I had to get it out of my system and get a feel for the decor I was going to use in this house full of wood. The Facilities room is all cedar from our acres - walls &ceiling.

Carpenter cutom built me this shelf over where the commode will sit. 

 I had the boys install this wrought iron toilet paper hanger  I bought from SticksNStitches.

The tin ROSES sign is from allposters.com and I have recently added a FACILITIES sign I made from scraps of cedar we had laying around (little boy was sweet enough to cut it out for me to my desired shape)  I've painted it with a base coat of green and rubbed over it with some black and creamy paint and then rubbed most of it off with a damp cloth to make it look distressed and then added the

 lettering from none other than the Fruitful Vine Lady. 

I've been collecting little glass bottles for a long while now and this is part of my collection.

This nest adorns one of the cubbies in the cedar shelf.  My little boy found me the nest on our acres

and I wove the nest "a lining" from copper wire we had left over from the wiring.  The eggs were found for me by a sweet son who knew I was looking to fill my nest.

Every bathroom should smell sweet - My jar of dried twigs and paper roses is filled with

homemade potpourri and I freshen it up every now and then with a few more drops of essential oil.

The FINISH LIST for the Master Facilites Room is getting shorter! We have 1-2-3 and one room is completely done! I pay not attention that this is the smallest room in the house - so the list can't be that long! I already have TP in there - I am ready to move in!
