Seasonal Guest Bath Arrangement

Hello! Look at me, blogging two times in a week! Wow!
I have not been on a bloggy hiatus, just busy.
So I wanted to show you a quick and easy seasonal makeover I did for our guest bathroom.
Here is the before (rather boring, if I do say so myself)
(And no, I do not normally keep my hot glue gun and scissors in the bathroom....)
I got this at a garage sale for $1!
I loved the frame, my BF loved the canvas = PERFECT!

I took the canvas out, and cut two equal parts of fishing line. I looped the fishing line around four times, knotted the ends and hot glued the knots to the back top corners of the frame.

I trimmed the excess.
I have been saving this gorgeous moss wreath I got on clearance from Joanne's last year for $0.97. It was just a little too small for most applications (like hanging on a door).


I used some left over silk from this project. And cut a piece long enough to hold the wreath.

Hot glued the seams under.

No........I do not normally have pine cones in the sink...

Used the screws that hold the mirror in place and loosened them, slid the fishing line over and tightened them.

Had an urn that was formally brass, but I painted a distressed old irony black.
(You can see by the bottom what it used to look like...)

Has some sticks from our neighbors tree I spray painted white. I tied them together with twine, and did not use Styrofoam.

My Mom gave me some random green filler and added it to the base.

Placed pine cones from my Grandparents farm around the base to cover the twine.

I LOVE the outcome. Dramatic, but multi seasonal. It will work Thanksgiving through January.


And, it was free, using things I had around the house!

This is a pic taken with flash "off". I am trying to tweak my camera.

Uh, the Yarbroughs always have random items from nature in their sinks- no shame in the game!!! And if I recall correctly, aren't there massive amounts of vines in your bath tub, missy???

Your guest bath is just perfect. Did you prime the brass urn before you sprayed it? I would love to know how you did that. I am new to your blog and I love what I see here. I am now a follower.

I love the arrangement, I always like to add sticks to things. The frame/wreath looks great. Can you still see into the mirror?

I love the idea of the frame over the mirror - I've got one of those bland mirrors myself and I think this is such a great way to fix it up. (What a great idea for the wreath too.)
