Bathroom Must Haves

It is official --- I have become my mother. I have a fan in my bathroom.   

Seriously, below are a few of my must haves.  

I love the red pad,it is really a pad for hot pots but I rest my curling iron on it when I am using it.  The holder came from Target and it holds my items as they cool down. The fan ---- just keeps the super tiny bathroom bearable. 

Art.  I have to have art in my bathroom.  I love black and whites. The top one is a framed postcard. The bottom is an enlarged photo printed at Costco.  
Ruffled ombré shower curtain, found at Home Goods.  
Black toilet seat --Walmart.  
Oh and last but not least, old nasty tile painted black. 

This is a very tiny bathroom, the door hits the toilet.  But it functions fine.  

What are your bathroom must haves?

Organizing -- Laundry Shelves -- Craft Shelves


Organizing.  Need I say more?  When you live in an old house for a long time it gets cluttered.  You just start shoving things iinto any shelf.  So, I spent the day organizing in the Landry Room.
The below is for cleaning and washing.
 
Before.

 After.
 The craft side, I make jewelry and art.
 After.
Take some time and organize something in your world.  You will be glad you did.

White Nightstand -- Pretty Little Liars Mirror

Yes!!! I finished some projects.  This great nightstand is now white.  I love it.  The lamp is from Costco.
 

The Pretty Little Liars mirror is lavendar and in the closet.  This mirror came off an old dresser, and needed a new home.  It is perfect in the closet to get dressed, do make-up, see your outfits, and adds a pop of color to the closet.

I am very excited about getting a few projects knocked out.

DIY Lavender Mirror

I am a huge Pretty Little Liars fan.  
Love Hannah's Lavender mirror in her room.  But I digress. This huge mirror is a leftover from a dresser I repurposed for my daughter. It went on top of the dresser and leaned and looked kind of sad.  So, a bit of taping off and a can of spray paint later and...I love it. Now to take off the paper and find a home.  Check back to see where we put it, and to see the room makeover.  


Can't wait to show the after.

Book Stacks

I am a repeat offender.
I love to stack books.  This book stack holds a statue the Hubs got years ago.  Makes it larger and gives it more presence.
 
Do you stack books?
 

Little decorating changes, make one today.

Makeup I love -- IT Cosmetics -- Maybelline Baby Lips

Makeup I am loving. 
 
The other day I ordered some IT Cosmetics, the Celebration Foundation (actually ordered 2 - one for my daughter), and I Love It!!!!  Quick fast and easy.  I haven't worn a foundation in years, and this one I love. 
 
Next, Maybelline, one of the first cosmetics I ever purchased.  In fact, years ago when I started wearing eyeshadow, my first color was a brown and it was Maybelline.  So, when looking for a new shadow the other day, I saw their Chic naturals in Dusk, a pink and a dark brown, Love Them!!!!
 
Speaking of love, their Baby Lips are great.  I have 2 colors.  Light, easy to wear, and wear well.
 
More lips, I love the Burt's Bees, tinted lip balm in Honeysuckle (can you tell I love a neutral).
 
Carmex -- seriously, have loved it for years. Anyone remember when it came in a little ceramic pot?
 

 


This is not a paid post, just stuff I love.  As to the foundation, everyone uses what works for them.  The others super inexpensive, and fun lift to your day. 
Enjoy your Wednesday.
