The bathroom 2.0

Ah, our spare bathroom....it's the room that just.won't.stop.  I recently posted the before & mostly after pics, but you loyal stalkers are just always wanting more.  Sheesh.  What's a blogger to do?  
Ok-give you more...

Now-you should be jealous because Miss Denise Ellnor got to see the bathroom live & in living color on Saturday.  Yea-she gushed about how much she loved it.  Uh, duh...

I was having a hard time coming up with a nice shower curtain to put on the tub that matched everything.  B-rad suggested we put a door on it, but I really didn't want to do that because I'm cheap.

He eventually talked me into it...& I hate to admit it...but I'm REALLY glad he did.

SO-here's the final before & afters, people!

Before:
AFTER!!!
 Before:
 AFTER!!! 
 Here are the newest (& final) additions!  I bought the green thing at Wal-mart.  
The clear hurricane vases have little glass chips that are all different colors.  Definitely NOT kid friendly.  Small shards of glass...within reach of small hands... egads...
I originally wanted them on the towel shelf thingie, but they were too much for up there.  
They look nicer on the counter.
 I bought some wash clothes & my original plan was to roll them up & put them in a little basket on this shelf.  Well, uhm, I didn't have a basket so I just rolled them up & sat them there.  Turns out, I like them like that.
And here's my Martha Mac trick.  I used scotch tape to keep them rolled up.  Sshhh, don't tell anyone...
 I had too many dangerous, colorful shards of glass to fill the clear vases so I got the bright idea of laying them around the candles.  This is even closer to the edge for small hands to grab... if your kids come here & have to potty, you'll have to sign a waiver first...
 This is almost a full view, including the circle print on the opposite wall.  Me likes... 
 My favorite thing is this stinkin' rug.  It was on sale at Kohl's for $18(!).  I had 20% off so that helped.  It's  got all the colors I've got going on.
 And here's the best view I could get of the whole room, except you can't see the towels.  There's a hallway outside the bathroom with a quilt thing there so it's hard to back up far enough.  
(Just ask Denise - she knows...)
OK-so I love this bathroom.  I really, really do.  I go in there sometimes & just turn the light on & look around.  (Yes, I'm weird.)  I'm not sure which room I want to do next?  Alicia-I haven't forgotten about your offer to help pick wall colors!  I am DEFINITELY going to have you come help when I do the living room, dining room & kitchen since they're all one.gigantic.room.  Sigh... who knows when that will be though?  This bathroom has really taken it outta me!

Looks GREAT!!! The shower door made a huge difference. Love the paint color too! Great job. Oh, and I totally go into a room I like and look around, not weird at all....unless I'm weird....but according to you I'm just sappy.

Your bathroom truly IS gorgeous! I love the shower doors and the coordinating bath towels hanging on the door. Well done, Jaime!

BTW -- I think all of you who go into rooms just to admire them are weird! I've never done that . . . seriously. Maybe it's because I've never decorated a room so well that I want to take it all in? Maybe it's because I never feel like I've "finished" a room? I feel like my whole house is a constant work in progress.
