Easy DIY: Bathroom Shades

As a frequent visitor in other folk's homes, we often notice how bathroom decor gets overlooked--a lot. It's usually the smallest space in the house, yet at the same time the most used. We love that Maggie treats her bathroom just like any other room in her home. Our favorite-- the way she tops off the vibe with a DIY shade...

In a bathroom of mostly white (which we love) Maggie uses a green patterned fabric that gives off a vintage feel. The green brings a new color into the space while mixing great with the existing white. One simple panel is all she needs to make the space feel vibrant and design savvy. A few added touches like a yellow orchid, classic black & white framed art and glass containers make the look complete.

That fabric is GORGEOUS; any chance people know where it's from?

Also, I have never yet lived in an apartment with a window in the bathroom. That is one of those nice perks I have not been able to trade up to.

Glad you love it too! I got it at Imaginefabric.com (they have great stuff) and it is by Joel Dewberry. Here is the link.
