More bathroom fun…

This trunk was our first ‘find’.  The first time Pat and I both saw something old and unique (besides each other) and said, “Ohhhh, that is cool”.  We hadn’t been dating long and were driving down the street, when I saw this trunk sitting out for the taking and hollered, “Stop!” quickly followed by, “Oh never mind”. I didn’t think Pat would want to go back for such a ‘crazy’ item.  He, however, threw the car in reverse, put the trunk half in and half out of the car and backed up slowly all the way home.  It then dutifully sat in the garage, until we moved and yes, we brought it along.  We’ve never been able to find a use for it until now.

The downstairs bathroom, which actually is a bit redundant as there is no upstairs bathroom except in our (mind) plans, lacks storage, a medicine cabinet, and towel bars.  So we took this trunk apart and viola!  We now have towel bars, storage and a bit of personality.

 

I love reusing items and being able to put this cool old trunk to work here.  I am enjoying the changes we’ve made to this bath making it functional without making it obviously ‘modern’.

I don’t think I am going to enjoy this bath tomorrow though, as we will be spending some quality time in it as tonight the water heater started leaking AND this bathroom’s plumbing backed up.

Can you say,……. “Are we having fun yet?”
