I'm almost done with our bedroom/basement. I've got the stone walls up, and only have a couple short walls to finish. Once I am done it will look like a dungeon
(We play Dungeons and dragons, and this helps the mood) I would live in the Addams family house if I could!!


For the bathroom, I want to make it kind of look like an escape pod from some spaceship, it's small. I have great ideas flowing, but I need more.

We are thinking of aluminum foil on the ceiling with thumb tacks (to look like rivits). Silver shiny material for shower curtain, and window curtain. We have a led light color changing shower head on the way from Hong Kong. It cost us $16. We are thinking of getting some kind of MP3 player that plays videos, and getting some kind of a screen to hook up to it, so we can play spacy videos (like travelig through space) while someone is in there. I think an MP3 player would work great cuz I could just download short videos from the net easily enough. I just don't know what else to do ... It's an old old house, built back when people built their own houses, before bathrooms, so the bathroom is in an addition to the house. It's pretty rough looking, and slightly ghetto-ish (as people told me) I see the beauty in the age of the house, not the problems it has. Decorating will fix most of the cosmetic problems the house has anyway!

Sorry so long, thank you for any ideas you can share.

I've been questioning my sanity with all this theme decorating I am doing. I'm the only one I know who will go through this much work, just for a little mood and ambiance.


Be safe

In the snow!!!!
You could paint a porthole on the wall and paint a space scene like you are looking out the window of the escape pod.

LOL TÃ:censor:a,. you made me laught so loud!
love the game and the adams tv series!...



If you think to remodelate my friend, I´ll give an advice about my friend....
I´m not a designer but ONCE a person who is designer told me:


If you´re thinking of remodelate, try to make it firts with WHITE colours or soft colours firts...
so this way in a near future,.. you can RE-RE_modelate again with strong colours or tapiz on your walls and in a short time you can have 2 enviroments in a short time as well...

ATM the bathroom is just a tiny little bathroom, ugly, but charming in a very old way. I can take pics of it as is though

That's what I was thinking too, my problem is that I am too... way too into detail, and the stars would never move. That is where the mp3 player and little screen come into play!
IF I can find something like that.
I love your ideea, I was thinking of maybe trying to make the window look like porthole kind of, but... Not sure I can get the backyard to look all spacey LoL

I love that I make you laugh. It makes me happy amigo.

So right that is. I wanted to go all paint, but my hubby mentioned how hard it is to turn nonwhite walls white again. So that is where I need some more ideas. I'm thinking of some kind of wall paperish stuff that can just be put ON the walls, with dbl sided tape, or tacks or something. Then I can remove it easily enough, and the bathroom can be just a boring bathroom again.

Thank you... I will take some pics of my boring bathroom and get them up


Be safe.

I feel guilty about thinking about decorating my bathroom with all the people in Haiti right now who don't even have a bathroom. Suddenly how my bathroom looks just isn't important. I looked through the decade in pics on the msn news site yesterday and I was humbled. I am still going to decorate it though, after all we all need distractions from the harsh realities the world has to offer. I just feel as though this is not important. (I know Haiti isn't the only place people are suffering, but it seems Haiti is everyone's focus atm.)

It's hard to get pics of our bathroom cuz it is so small. Have to put the cam against one wall to get a pic of the other, and it still does't show a lot.

The door to the bathroom


The shower


The toilet, it has its own little room with the sink


The sink, and Meow


The sink sans Shadey


The shelf


teeny bathroom,


Be safe.

Can you post pics of your stone walls? I would LOVE to see those....

Will do some thinking on your bathroom and get back to you.

Here are some pics of what I have done in the basement. It's still a work in progress...








I'm still working on it. But it is getting there.
