In Love with a Bathroom & Chalk Paint ???


I have been really really wanting to

go shopping in

McKinney Texas for quite awhile now ~

Today I decided to hop in the car

and hit the road ~

McKinney has the cutest old town square

with great shops

and the most wonderful old homes

all around the square ~

So I took quite a few pictures of the shops

in the

square and what am I going to show you ?


A Bathroom !!


I asked Patina Green if I could

take pictures and blog

because I pretty much adore their shop !!

You can buy

fresh breads and produce there,

eat there and buy gorgeous

home decor there ~


But after gallons of ice tea on my drive I had to (check out)

the bathroom there ~


Ohhhhh my gosh I was in love !

Maybe it is because

we are in the process of getting quotes on our

horrible, ugly bathroom ~


Here are some pictures I took while about 4 women

(probably dying) were waiting outside the door for me

to hurry up ~


These pictures were with my Iphone so not so great ~









I will show you more pictures I took in a couple days of their shop and

around McKinney ~


I have to say what drew me to McKinney today in the first place

was Annie Sloan Chalk Paint that is available at

Lady Butterbug's ~

Mr. & Mrs. Butterbug are pretty much the sweetest

couple ever!!

I signed up for a class and bought a kit and

am ready to go!!!

I am so excited to try Chalk Paint after reading about it

pretty much everywhere !


I found the old brush in one of the antique shops and had to have it just

for pictures :) I am wondering if

old brushes will be a new flea market hunt of mine ....

Hi Lori, What a lovely bathroom. Isn't it amazing how pretty toilet paper can look when it's displayed in such a beautiful cabinet?
I'm sure the workshop will be lots of fun and I'm looking forward to seeing your painted furniture.
Have a great Sunday!
Hugs,
Julia

Darling Lory, I admit that the idea of a woman taking pics of a public bathroom made me smile... But when I saw the images ... O_O WOW!! Really, is one of the most beautiful I've ever seen!!
If I were you I would have made the same picture !!!!
Have a great Sunday and thank for share

I think that bathroom has been photographed more than Buckingham Palace. 'Course it is a throne room like no other! Kaci and Luanne did a fabulous job with the whole shoppe.

I think we are going to have to climb on the chalk paint wagon. People were asking if we used it at our last flea market. Awesome pictures!

Wow that is wonderful! I just bought some chalk paint and plan on doing a class next week. I worked on some projects this weekend and was pleased with it. It will be fun to see all the projects everybody shows all over blogland.

The exposed brick on the bathroom wall...Love!
I have a paintbrush similar to yours that is really old that I use as a prop in some of my photos. :)

I found your blog thru 4 corner designs and I love it! I look forward to reading more. I live SW of Fort Worth and I love McKinney's square!

I love when you inspire us with such beauty that bathroom is completely dreamy. As for the chalk paint it is quite the rage here in Southern Cal where I live. Have a blessed week!
