still looking.....

still looking for just the right cabinet to replace our sink ........................................ this bathroom was remodeled thirty yrs. ago .......................... still can't believe mr. prairie blue agreed to remove a perfectly normal bathtub to install this clawfoot .................. we installed old barnboards ........... had a barnboard cabinet built and a brick tile floor ..........this old wall mounted sink is starting to rust in the bottom ........ only one of the two faucets now work ................................ ready to move on to a little different look ........................ thinking of painting the boards with a wash of paint .................................... can you believe until ten years ago, this was our only bathroom ....... no shower......and this tub is a short one .................... quite the experience for mr. prairie blue and our two daughters that are tall as well ............................................. so glad they love me and put up with "the look"!.................. so i now will continue on looking for just the right thing to come along ..................................... 
............................................... i am blessed !

What a beautiful "look" it is my friend. I LOVE your bath. I, too, am playing the waiting game....Our (only and very small) bath needs some work; aging toilet (but the smallness of the room means nothing marketed out there now "fits"; and while I'm at it, I want to remove the ugly counter and that means the vanity....Would love to adapt a dry sink, but every one I've found has been too large....Sigh....I'll be watching to see what you come up with!

Oh my goodness.... do I ever LOVE this room! It looks like it's out of a magazine, and it is just the most prim bath I've ever seen! I don't think I've ever seen a warm and cozy bathroom.... but your's is just that!! Thanks for sharing!!

Love the entire look. I know you want something different but I love the old sink. It has the perfect look with the gathered skirt.

I'm sure whatever you do will be perfect.

Your bathroom would fit perfectly in my Ozark Cabin currently under construction. Simply love it, this is the look I want. Changes are good for the soul, if need a change go for it, I am sure it will be sweetly prim.

Your Bath room looks great!
We are in the prosess now of installing a clawtub. We just pushed it up the stairs two days ago! Hubby and his brother and I. And we are no spring chicks either! I'm still holding my back, but a good soakin will mend that soon! Hee

love it too...be sure you use the sink outside in your garden...reuse, recycle, filled full of ivy or bright red petunias...I can see it now...
