Window Luvin'

My master bathroom has had a total overhaul in the past six months including paint, countertops, shower tile, etc. but what it needs now are accessories (my biggest decorating struggle). I'm hoping to create a subtle feeling of whimsy in that space using wall hangings, and unexpected linen colors. Currently I have an orchid, and a wooden frog with a umbrella (the source of the whimsy inspiration) gracing the space, as well as an barren curtain rod above the window. On my to do list for this room is:

1. to reposition the curtain rod higher up on the wall to make the window feel bigger
2. add subtle window treatment
3. find fantastic artwork for the wall
4. fix the medicine cabinet that needs caulk around the edges so you can't see inside the wall
5. CLEAN!

To accomplish task #2 I've been looking for inspiration, and I found the photo above. I think it's from one of the many DIY blogs I peruse, but I can't find the source link and I forgot to make note of it when I saved the shot. I'm bummed because the blog it's from was probably a tutorial on how to make it... argh.

I like this style too, AND this link is a tutorial on how to make it! Score.

 And this is also a tutorial, and could fit much better with my goal for subtle whimsy. Ow Ow.

All I can say is that I'm very excited about Centsational Girl and the tutorials found there... let the inspiration begin.
