MY3dogs, your home is so inviting. It's absolutely amazing and I love it.

I can never find anything on Ebay.. what's your secret?

Thank-you, Deedra! And to Anele for finding that old nugget of a thread, and Lauriedeee, I guess my eBay tip is persistence. I will check it every day, if there is something I'm looking for, and if I find something that I like from a seller, I'll often check their other items for sale, and stumble onto some wonderful finds. The majority of my accessories and some furniture is from eBay and Craigslist. I love to sew and re-do furniture, including painting it, so can customize what I find.

Here are some bathroom pics. I can't resist showing a 'before' of the bathroom I added to the cellar last year. It replaces a toilet that was cemented to the floor, next to a shower stall made out of rippled Fiberglas panels, and a laundry sink. From the date on the old toilet, I can tell that the original owner of the house put this 'bath' in. This is after we took the old toilet out and dismantled the shower stall, but before the laundry sink came out.

Here are some afters -

Over the toilet, a shelf taken from an old summer 'cottage' (mansion) in Maine. I got it from Craigslist.

I added a window, and the silk fabric was a remnant that I had a year before this bathroom started. The stained glass for privacy is from CL.

Probably not many people would paper a bathroom in an unfinished cellar, but I love to wallpaper and I love paisley! I papered an old wastebasket and the tile work is the FIRST tile job of a young friend of mine. The Toto toilet is from a house flipping friend and I paid $75. It's incredible. I'm lucky that that was a toilet there to start with, and this one is rotated 90 degrees from the way the original was, to follow code for clearance.

Oil painting from eBay of a Brittany. It's dated in the late 1800's. My dogs are Brittanys and this looks very much like Joey, who I lost last October.

The mirror is part of an old hall tree, and I'd had it for probably 20 years before having a place to put it.

This is an old 1860's cottage bureau that I got from CL for $30 in 2008. It was a mess and I had to re-paint it from top to bottom. My friend who did the tile cut away the inside of each drawer to clear the plumbing, so I have lots of storage in each drawer. I got a granite remnant for the top. The best pic I have of this is during construction.

I'll hunt up some pics of the other half bath that I added on the first floor, and the full bath upstairs and post them later.

I'm envious of your wallpaper finds... I'm not having any luck at all finding some for a small, accent wall. Hopefully soon! :)

Thanks you all! I really like my3dogs decorating style. All of your bathrooms are so unique in the way they're decorated. I love eBay too along with antique shops and flea market finds. I just purchased an old primitive funky hanging cabinet that I love, and I am putting it in my powder room. I love getting ideas from your pretty rooms!

We sound like we have very similar places that we like to shop! Unique, vintage, antique, something that you can re-purpose is what I love. I'd like to see your hanging cabinet that you're putting into your powder room! Mine in the corner of this room is from eBay, as is the one on the back of toilet, the PB sconces, and the antique mirror on the door.

As always, My3dogs, your home is such a joy to see! I love how you've accessorized your shelf over the toilet and am blown away by how you've used that old hall tree mirror. Totally unique and perfectly wonderful!

Right back at you, Lynne! While our homes are very different, I like to think if I lived in NM, that my home would be as warm and welcoming as yours is! Here is the full bath on the second floor. It's just had cosmetic changes and a new/old vanity I made from a CL bureau.

I can switch out from this antique mirror to the Pottery Barn one from CL below.

I use this antique oak cupboard with a mercury glass mirror as my medicine cabinet.

Fall/winter window treatment

Spring summer WT, matches the Thibaut wallpaper and was the start of this room. I got 4 yards of this Thibaut fabric from eBay for $6.00! Price to buy it locally is $52 a yard!

Petit point rug by KAS that goes so beautifully with the fall/winter WT fabric.

my3dogs--In anele's post of several of your rooms, I noticed you have a group of mirrors in your porch photo over a bench. I love that area and it gave me an idea about using a group of mirrors in my very small mudroom. I had been looking for one larger mirror, but really liked yours. Do you have a closeup of your group of mirrors? I sure wish you lived across the street! I just love your home. Thanks so much.

I just checked and I don't have a recent one, but I'll try to take one tomorrow in daylight. The mirrors in there change depending on what I find. :-)

Thanks so much. I have a couple of small mirrors that may work, but one is more primitive while the other more traditional. Not sure if they will work together.

Sorry about the entry porch photo delay - I got busy with work yesterday and didn't have a chance. You can see that I mix styles freely here!

The birdhouse here was made by an eBay seller years ago, working from pictures of my shed. I had it outside, well used by birds til it started to suffer from the weather.

The shed - same age as the house, built in 1937. I've had to fix it up over the years, including putting in the new windows on this side when the originals rotted.

This is the CL Hitchcock bench that I bought a few years ago for $40! I had to do some touch up painting on the arms, but the day after I bought this one, an identical one was listed for $400.

The Waverly wallpaper is from eBay, and the antique quilt pillow is made from an old 'cutter quilt' I also got on eBay. 'Cutters' are ones that have areas so damaged that they can't be repaired.

my3dogs--That is one beautiful and welcoming space. I just adore it! In my mudroom I have a very tiny antique church pew with not as much space above it as you have. I love the mirrors mixed with your cabinet. I love to display little old things that I find. I really do wish that you lived close so that you could help me with my wall. Your wallpaper is so pretty too. Thank you so much for sharing.
