How have 2 1/2 weeks gone by since my last post?? Yikes! Needless to say...I've been busy! Between a hurt back, a four day trip up to Portland, my busiest time of year at work, book club, meetings, bunco, visiting with friends in town from New Orleans, a weekly bible study, and a scavenger hunt/birthday party at Downtown Disney...my projects and blogging have slacked! My apologies :-)
But today I finally have some pictures of my bathroom! It's a pretty standard space housing a shower, toilet and sink. I especially love all of the finishes (they were here when I moved in) and the sink to ceiling mirror.
The one negative is that storage is pretty limited. I have space under the sink, but that holds my cleaning supplies and trash can. I was getting tired of storing my hair supplies on the hutch in my bedroom, so I hung two IKEA spice racks. Now my hair sprays, conditioners, mousse, etc. have a permanent home in the bathroom...where they belong.
This little shelf came with me from my grandfather's house and it fits perfectly right above the toilet. One of the first tips I remember hearing from Nate Berkus was to "containerize" anything and everything you can!
So I did just that! I have my Tylenol, aspirin and vitamins displayed in little IKEA spice jars, with the bottom of each jar marked with the name of the pill and expiration date. This is definitely my favorite thing about this room! I love how clean it looks and since I don't have a medicine cabinet...it works perfectly!
I also really love the sink! Surprise, surprise....it's from IKEA, too.
So there you have it! My sweet and simple bathroom. As you can see, there is a lack of surface space but that works out being a good thing because it forces me to keep things clean and tidy!
Until next time!
