    one of my design professors in college would say "i'd hang that in my bathroom" to pieces that he thought were interesting but not necessarily the best. he said "it's a place you see a lot and spend a bit of time in but you won't *always* be looking at it." if he didn't like a piece, he said he'd hang it in his guest room. 😅

    If you still have bubbles under the peel and stick, take a sewing pin/needle (I know you have one stuck in your sock at this very moment, haha) and just make a tiny hole for the air to escape, then press the tile down; works like a charm!

    "The Oui Oui Room"
    I might have laughed a bit too much :p
    Here in France we have some North American renovation TV shows on TV, and I must admit that because of them, I was convinced that the toilets were always in the same room as the shower/bathtub, nice to see that it was all just a myth (I never understood the "we have 4 bedrooms so we need precisely 4 bathrooms with shower/bathtub AND toilets in it" thingy ^^ )
    Really like the bathroom, it looks like it could come from a french period drama (or from Disneyland Paris :p )^^

    • @tamisheiffer8568

      We definitely have bathrooms that are just a toilet and sink with no bathtub or shower. It's sometimes called a half-bathroom, but usually only when a house is listed for sale. The house listing would say something like 2 1/2 bathrooms, so two bathrooms have showers and/or bathtubs and the half bathroom does not. But most of the time we just call them all bathroom whether there's a bath or not.

      @lyn3325 2 года назад +5

      Well the shows are right in that a bathroom in the US without a shower/tub is not considered a whole bathroom. A bathroom with a sink and toilet is called a half bath. I would assume however that people, if they had the money, could change it to fit their culture. I have seen places in the US with the toilet in a different room than the sink or shower/tub because some cultures consider washing hands/body in the same room as the toilet as disgusting. That's exceedingly uncommon for a few reasons, resell value and reno costs etc. It's more common than that to have the shower and toilet in the same room and the sink in a different room.

    I swear you are my child! I loveeeee your decorating style! You do all the stuff I have done in the past. I am always taking a paint brush to "enhance" frames, etc. My brain never stops thinking how I can make an area look better. I also have a "Victorian" garden in my back yard that took my 20 years to complete. Trumpet vine, wisteria, clematis every where. Roses, fountains... adirondack chairs....shed with purple trim and lace curtains. Please keep making videos! I totally enjoy your style...and your charming personality....swear words included! 🤣

    As soon as you showed all those lights in that tiny space, I KNEW that it was going to be an issue. I love all the fixtures, but I would definitely be finding the lowest wattage possible for the bulbs. Maybe a little gas lamp flicker would be extra, or maybe it would be PERFECT.

    I confess I thought tile + wallpaper + wainscoting + paint would be WAY too much for a small bathroom, but I think it looks great! It makes it feel like it's old (in a good way) and been added onto over the centuries. Nicely done!

    As a peel and stick tile veteran (I did our kitchen back splash all by myself on a whim) it's really important to clean the wall throughly beforehand and use a dry sponge to smooth the tiles as you go. I also used some superglue on some of my edges because they weren't sticking well enough and it worked like a charm. Love the bathroom! It makes me want to do home renovations I've been putting off lol

    Might I recommend a stud finder before you start cutting into walls? Not just for it's stated purpose, but it also tells you if there's electrical wiring behind the wall you're about to stick a saw into lol. I love these videos btw.. I find them motivating.. (I say as I sit in what we call the Marlboro room because the walls are painted blood red and I have hated them since we moved into this house last June but I have yet to do anything about because cathedral ceiling height walls with only a 6 ft ladder to work with lol)

    I loved watching this and it's made me realise I need to do my renos I planned over a year ago. Got a plan to turn my bathroom into a forest oasis type thing. Got my 3 green paints and a lighter bluish colour for the ceiling. I was going to sponge on my greens, but I've hesitated cuz I don't want to have a blobby smushy look. But watching this it occurred to me if I cut sponges into tree shapes, I can get more of a forest feel. I now can't wait to remove the wall that is blocking the window and heat vent in a small hallway behind it. That way my bathroom will finally have a closet in it. Yay storage. Well until I can afford an apartment stackable washer/dryer to go in that space so no more having to go into the basement to do laundry. Thank you for the inspiration. Hugs from one Rachel to another 😊.

    To anyone without photoshop, a great hanging trick is to use newspaper or something similar and cut it to the size of the frame/artwork (and put a mark where the holes are)! Tape them to the wall and rearrange as needed, then nail through it where your hanging holes are and just tear em off the wall.
    A final finishing touch that is small but 🤌 would be to fill all of the holes from the brad nailer with wood filler, light sand, and touch up paint and it'll be ✨so smooth✨
