Decorating: English Garden Bath

What I am learning from this house is that you don't have to sew to make things with fabric. My inspiration room has lots of little sachets and pretty fabric touches. I am slowly working many of the touches from the inspiration photo into my bathroom, including a little sachet bag I made using stitch witchery and my glue gun!

My inspiration photo has a chair. I found a chair like it for $300 in an antique shop and passed it by in favor of a $3 yard sale find. Now I have a chair too.
My inspiration photo has a pink pitcher. I found one for $14 at an antique store. Now I have a pink pitcher.
My inspiration photo has sachets. Ok, I only have one, but I'm working on it.
My inspiration photo has a gorgeous copper tub. I have a little tub I found at a second hand store that I painted copper--it's great for rounding up clutter!
My inspiration room has pots of pink roses. I have art featuring pink roses that I made with decoupage because I also have cats, which I am guessing the owners of the inspiration home do not! (Ornery little devils.)
My bathroom will never look exactly like the inspiration room, but it is slowly taking on that English country garden feel.
