Jessica, i dig your bath. what is the texture on the walls? i have some rough drywall that i don't want to replace right now before i paint and finish the tile and that texure might be a solution.
WHERE did you get the toilet seat cover!!!??? I love it!
Love those little cups!
Ironically, I think I read somewhere that she and Adler were actually at the same summer camp when they both learned ceramics.
For the texture on the bathroom walls, my boyfriend and I simply troweled on joint compound in random swirls and made "organic forms." He advises using a thin coat and to not focus in one spot but, instead, take in the wall as a whole. I hope you try it out because it's pretty hard to screw up and the end result will be much nicer lookin' than crappy drywall (which also happens to be the reason why we chose texture). Good luck!
I got the toilet seat at Renegade Craft Fair in Chicago about 2 years ago. Vendors come and go at fairs like Renegade and I haven't seen the toilet seat lady back since I bought it. Sorry, I can't remember her name either.
