Tuscan Bronze Pfister Bathroom Faucet Giveaway! Make Your Bathroom Standout!

I am super excited about this giveaway because Pfister faucets are so stinkin cool. :-)

I have been working with the Pfister Company and they sent me a faucet to review.

I am absolutely in love.....and I was already in love with my last faucet so, well, not sure what kind of homeowner I am getting rid of something I loved only to upgrade to another love - ha!

As far as quality goes, it's heavy duty and just what I would expect from a good quality faucet company.

Let the pictures begin!

I chose this faucet because it was unique. In fact, it has become a conversation starter because guests walk out of the bathrooms saying, "I love that faucet!" What sold me was the fun waterfall spout. This faucet is from their Ashfield collection.

Now that I think of it, I haven't really shown you guys my full completed guest bathroom (other wise know as the powder room) yet!

This is my thrift store plate collection. You can see how I came up with a FREE plate hanger system to hang them all! The walls are all done in American Clay. (Pretty much my whole home is done in the clay!)

Across from the commode is a recessed medicine cabinet......that's where I hold the extra toilet paper. As a photographer, we are always trying to be sure we are NOT in the photo - I decided this time I'd pop in the picture to say Hi :-)

It's a very small room (around 3' wide!) and that is why I choose the pedestal sink over a built in cabinet. The pedestal sink appears airy so it gives the illusion that the bathroom has more space than it does. If I had put in a built in cabinet there, it would really start feeling squished!

On the side wall between the commode and the sink I have a LARGE window (which also helps with making the room not feel as small as it is) I put cafe shutters half way up. It adds a lot of character and gives the privacy we need without having to close off the entire window.

The flower box sits directly outside the window.

And there you have the tour of the guest bathroom!

Would you like one of your own!?

They have offered one of my readers this same faucet! The retail value is $370.00!!

I'm excited for you guys! :-)

How To Enter:
a Rafflecopter giveaway

How about doing a small re-model in YOUR guest bathroom?

Some quick painting, new towels, plates on the wall and a new faucet would make any bathroom STUNNING and if you win a faucet it would hardly cost you a thing!

Giveaway Ends Saturday, August 31!

You can read about Pfisters official giveaway rules and they have specified that for shipping, it is only for U.S. residing in the 48 contiguous states. They gave this faucet to me at no charge but the reviews are my own opinion, feel free to see my full disclosure policy :-)

~Sunny Summer Yellow: Paint and Decor~

There is something wonderful about the color yellow. And since we're in the peak of summer over here I thought what better than to do a post that will brighten our day! (literally!)

My friend Ann from On Sutton Place made the most adorable yellow rain boot vases to place by her front door.

Doesn't that just make you smile?

The boots along with the robins egg nest in her front door wreath :-)
