I absolutely cannot wait to show this to you..Liberace would have loved this bath !!!  He would have loved to had his piano in there. Complete with gold wall paper on the ceiling, the brass fixtures, and matching tile in the bath and on the floor. It made you dizzy just to walk into the room. Here are the before, well actually I do not even have to say the "before" because if you should not be able to distinguish between the two, well you may want to consider another line of work. The wallpaper was professionally applied so it came off in sheets (lucky for us ). We took out the sink and replaced it with a sewing machine table and added the bowl. All of the fixtures were taken down and sprayed with a bronze spray paint. I made the curtain out of material found on sale. The walls were painted. Then there was the subject of the ceiling...That lovely ceiling that was adorned with matching wall paper. We purchased the tin tiles and placed on the ceiling. New mirror and we did away with the light fixture on the wall as this is actually a powder room and the over head lights were enough. The look ? Well you can see for yourself...I know, I know these photos are REALLY big, sorry about that I could not get them smaller..I tried, but obviously I do not know what I am doing in that arena.

Looking forward to a great meeting.

Gotta say this....yes I do watch some of the "staging" shows on TV..the other night while flipping the channels I was taken aback when I stopped to view a show where someone had "flipped" a home and the Realtor was doing his final walk thru. The "flipper" was so pleased with himself, telling the Realtor and those of us in TVLand that he had done the "Staging" . I think that the Realtor right then and there should have said...WHOA there big guy, you may want to stick to flipping and leave the staging to the professionals... What got my attention was when he was so proudly showing off the master bath, right there before my eyes...burgundy, YES you read correctly, burgundy !!! A burgundy toilet seat cover, tank cover and matching toilet rug, you know the kind that has the cut out for the bottom of the bowl ? Oh and then he didn't stop there, there were burgundy and white striped towels, WAIT it gets better, yes you guessed it, fake greenery all over the place. Am I wrong, you don't do that, do you ??? Have I missed something ? The really scarey part is that this was a new showing, it was taped recently. I guess that someone somewhere thought that it looked good, but it was not staging...Me Bad ???? That is why people who see shows such as that one think that they can stage their own homes for sale.
