Come on in so I can show you around my guest bathroom. Putting a bathroom in a house built in 1796 is not an easy task. Originally, the Homestead had no bathrooms, enough of that...
No really, please come in. It is not very big, but it is bigger than it appears. Originally this room was called the "BOURNING ROOM". Yes, a room to deliver children in. Isn't that incredible?
The louver doors to the right open to a washer and dryer with shelves above. Another door near it opens to a shower. All tucked away to look old but very convenient. The floor is classic small black and white check ceramic tiles and the wallpaper is by Erica Wilson, one of her beautiful needlepoint's.
To the left are shutters that open to the sun. The white flowers grow wild in my yard, I just love them! Still around since college is the white plaster sculpture I made, and I still love it too...thank you for coming by,
Karen

I love everything about this bathroom, especially the white flowers you grew and the sculpture you made... it makes the room so personal. How lucky to be a guest in your home.
Very Beautiful! I just noticed that you found a picture of your home circa 1930's on ebay. That is so cool, I am sure you blogged about that before but how interesting!

Karen, I love the bust and the room. I will even admit to loving the wallpaper as long as I do not have to remove it in 25 years! ♥O
What a wonderful guest bath-we only have one bathroom and it REALLY needs remodeled! Happy WW
It is beautiful! Do you allow anyone to use it? .....smiles.
It is a lovely guest bath! I love the wallpaper.

Hi there... everything looks so beautiful!... and yes, I absolutely am interested in Barn Chicks in the Spring!!!... xoxo Julie Marie
That's quite amazing! Our old house has a very, very small bath which was once a blanket closet - a small room for blanket chests.
Yours is quite lovely - I like your accessories and coloring.

what an adorable bathroom....so cute!
A "bourning" room, wow! How cool. I love how the bathroom turned out, especially the walls!

I love the wallpaper too. I am a big wallpaper fan despite so many disliking it now. Olive mentioned having to remove wallpaper ~ it's not that hard. Just put a capful of fabric softener in a spray bottle and fill the rest with warm water. Spray it on, wait a couple of minutes, and the paper comes off quite easily. Your bathroom is charming and I like the shutters too. Thanks for your sweet comment the other day!
Love,
Susan and Bentley

What a beautiful bathroom,looks so sunny and cheerful!

What fun...a bourning room! Love your bathroom ideas - I'm in the middle of trying to figure out what to do with my upstairs bath...love your beadboard :)
Oh how lucky you are to live in a historic home and your bourning room turned bathroom is an amazing transformation.
Hi there- it is absolutely lovely! That is so neat to live in such a wonderful historic home! Thank you for sharing at Feathered Nest Friday! :)
Wow! What a challenge and beautiful result. Love the wallpaper, and I'm not a wallpaper fan! The colors and the ambience are wonderful.
Your bathroom is so old fashioned yet so new. What a beautiful job you did Karen. your guests must so enjoy it too.
The "Sprig-Of-Flowers" ~ is like the jewelry on the dress... LoVely...
