Va-va-va-valance

Truth be told, our master bathroom is not very masterful. Though it has space for a double sink, there is but one to wash in. It boasts an extra large shower complete with seating (for what?) but no tub. One day, we'd like to do a complete tear out and make it nicer. For now, the bank account would only allow for a $4.00 upgrade.

I purchased a half yard of this geometrically patterned canvas from JoAnn's recently. That's where the $4.00 comes in. Though the picture is a bit blown out, it's black and white. In the interim, we'd like to paint the cabinet under the sink black until we can start with a blank slate. I'm also trying to talk John into letting me paint the door on the inside of the bathroom black. The outside in the bedroom would stay white. Not making much headway in that discussion.

The bathroom has a single garden window. It's not very large but does let in some much appreciated natural light. If only you could open it to let the steam out post shower......

With said fabric and about 15 minutes time, I sewed up a sleek valance. The hardware was already mounted from the previous owners.

Ta-da! Not a vast improvement but at least it's something, right? Little by little, more home-y things are being accomplished. I have a feeling this is a never-ending process.
