Hola! Here's the cover from HGTV's April 2019 magazine. Normally I don't pay too much attention to the magazine's covers, but last month's and this month's, wowsers!
The easiest item I had to shop for was the vanity, believe it or not! The rest of the items - geesh.
The Shade Fabric
For instance - that fabric. It didn't occur to me until I started hunting for something similar just how hard that would be! Turns out that shades of green, blue and white in a circle pattern that would work great for scalloping doesn't grow on trees. Whoda thunk it???
The original fabric is from studiobontextiles.com and is a hand-painted design from a Schumaker collection called
"Op"in "Prussian/Kelly" (you'll have to scroll down to find "Op.") No prices were listed, which clues me in to the fact that since I want to ask, I can't afford it, LOL! HGTV's fabric choice is by spoonflower.com "Boxwood Press Scalloping Circles Ikat" cotton fabric in green and blue, $17.50.
Kudos to the HGTV people for finding the Spoonflower fabric, which was the closet match to it I saw anywhere I hunted for a fabric online. After failing to find any fabric that was close to the original or to the Spoonflower fabric in look (or price), I went with what I thought were the best options I could find for less than $17.50 a yard.
The Bath Mat
This was another difficult look to replicate. The
original bath mat from Urban Outfitters is no longer available, and I couldn't find it anywhere else I searched. Maybe that's a good thing considering the comments that purchasers made about the rug at Urban Outfitters.
I found plenty of palm leaf bath mats and area rugs, but nothing that had the scale of green palm leaves or the kelly green color. Amazon has a lot of palm leaf bath mats, I shopped there after general Google searches and searching specific online vendors of bath products didn't turn up what I was looking for at a price below $29.
Another Amazon find is the
Hi Space Bath Mat in Green Tropical Leaves, 20" x 31" for $21.99 and free shipping on orders over $25. The pattern is not palm leaves but I like the scale of these leaves and the ratio of green to white:
I also picked out some solid colored fluffy/plush bath mats, thinking in the alternative to go with a couple different sets of patterned towels (you'll notice that the cover bathroom includes solid green and solid white towels, in addition to the dark tealish green patterned bath towel with the cool fringe). The color selection in blue and green solids is large.
This selection is from Bed Bath & Beyond available in many colors, including a deep rich teal. This is the
Jean Pierre Mega Butter Chenille Bath Rug in aqua, a large 21" x 34" for $19.99 (free shipping on orders over $39):
From Target Opalhouse's collection, its
Soft Solid Bath Mat in dark green, also available in a deep turquoise and an appealing (much lighter) mint green, 20" x 32" for $11.99 (free shipping on orders of $35 or more):
The Towel(s)
There are towels in solid colors of the rainbow, in multiple shades, at all price points. Target's Opalhouse collection features 100% cotton pile bath towels in dark green (it's a green teal color similar to the bath rug above), a lime green, a mint green, and a very blue deep turquoise. This is the
Opalhouse Soft Solid Bath Towel in Dark Green, 30" x 54" size, $5.99:
If buying in sets is for you, here's a great deal from Amazon: Two bath towels , four hand towels, and six wash cloths, all in a beautiful shade of green (Gumdrop Green) with a honeycomb jacquard pattern on half of the set and plain green plush on the other half of the set (one bath towel in each finish 27" x 54", two hand towels each, three wash cloths each),
Superior's 100% Cotton (500 GSM) Plush and Honeycomb Jacquard, $34.33 for the set and free shipping:
Part III will include the tray, canisters, stools, and faucet. Stay tuned!
