Wow, you really have a project going there!! Looks really great. I love the way you've picked up the teal color from your vanity and have selected pots to match. Are you going to put anything on top of your linen closet beside the sink? I can see something up there that would trail down the wood beside your sink. Keep up the great work. I can't wait to see the finished product. I love Bromilaids in a bathroom too.

Wow Triss! What a great idea. I can't think of a better way to decorate any room. I can't wait to see what it looks like when it's all done!
Keep the pics coming!

Triss, just found this...Looks great,cannot wait to see more

I got a little done today. This is the corner section above the bath tub. I added rails above the mirror that will hold shelves. In this first pic you can really see the skylight.



And the first shelf up close


And from a bit back. In the mirrors you can see a reflection of the first rail I set up that the lattice will be attached to. All of the different reflections make it seem as though there is a lot more color in there than there is. It is very cool. You can also see the fence though it is not all the way done yet.



I am going to get a pathos or philo for that corner so it can go down behind the shelf.

Pburgh, I do not know if I would get enough light for anything up above that closet. I have bunnies up there now but will have to look into something. I like the idea of a plant trailing down and giving some green to all that open wood.

I can't wait to see this when it's finished. I think a pothos could make it on top of that linen closet!! I wanna come over and help!!! I'm a good painter!lol

Great job Triss

I just picked up a varigated pothos today. Also a bromeliad, rubber plant and a lady fern. Now I need to find some neat looking pots for them all.

You have the teal and brown pots. Terra cotta would look terrific with that and cheap too!!

I put a plant in the upper corner shelf. It looks a lot fuller than it is becuase of the mirrors.

That is very pretty, Triss!

Looking good Triss!!!!!!

Looks great Triss!!!!

We have been working our tails off in the bathroom today. Here is where we got as of mid afternoon. More to come later.

Oh WOW Triss!!! Thats amazing!!!!!

Looking good

Ok here is all we did today.

The lower corner shelves.


And with plants


The overall look of the bathtub


And the lattice which as of now has no plants

Great job Triss!!

I love it!!

I Love it!!! Now, when can you come do mine...no wait! I need a tub first! Seriously- it looks fabulous!!

you have given me so many ideas to borrow!

WOW TRISS - IT LOOKS AMAZING!!!

OMG, Triss, that is looking spectacular!!!! What a great job you guys are doing. You and Lynne are really inspiring me to do something with my bathroom. I've been really bad with houseplants, the only indoor plant that has survived for me is my old faithful asparagus fern. Now I have a jade plant that my son planted in kindergarten, still thriving and he's in second grade! I just recently got a begonia from work. Unfortunately, I just brought them indoors and the three cats have gone nuts on them, so they are in my bathroom and I have to remember to keep the door closed so they can't touch them.

What a difference Triss! Great JOB!!!!

Thanks everyone!!! We just love it all so far!

Looks really great Triss!

WOW, that looks terrific. What a great optical illusion with the bromilaid. When I first looked I thought there were three of them. That pothos will take off like crazy right under that skylight.

You've been working so hard. Have you had time to light some candles and draw a nice bubble bath??
