DECORATING - Shower Room

Lonny got me an early birthday gift, sorta.

I was talking about how I was bored with the shower room not being decorated.

I can't decide on the colors I want the shower room to be.

And then randomly yesterday I got a wild hair up my ass and figured out how it should be decorated.

We were looking at websites for ideas and he said he'd take me to go buy it, TODAY.

Today?

Yes! Today!

So we went and this is the the time line of my shower room.

2007

 Building my home.

Picking out the hardware.

Same year but a couple months later...

2008

Home is complete and this was the final walk through to make sure everything is what I expected it to be.

I had to make sure the sink hardware, flooring, marble counter tops...ect was all what I had picked out pre-build.

Everything looked great!

This was actually broken when we did the final walk through.

But they quickly swapped the broken medicine cabinet for a new one while doing the walk thru.

Look, my empty walk in closet...it didn't last very long being empty!

Oct 1st after 2 1/2 years of waiting for my place to be built...it's complete. 

The mountain of paper work I had to sign and waiting waiting waiting...

It was all mine!

Move in date Oct 10, 2008.

2009

 Did absolutely nothing with the shower room for an entire year.

Placed all my energy, time, creativity, and funds toward getting the living room done.

Sold some old furniture and bought some new ones.

The bathroom colors remained the same as I had in my previous place - purple & brown.

2010

Well, here we go...

BEFORE:

Purple towels for me and chocolate brown for Lonny.

AFTER:

Sink mats

Bath mat

With the vanity lights off.

I think the camera picks the yellow hue up a bit brighter than normal.

It's a warm yellow that has a hint of brightness but not as bold as this picture above states.

The tray and the Qtip glass jar is new as well.

I like having the qtips & cotton pads out as I used them all the time.

I also like the little jewelry dish I have because then I'm not losing my rings down the sink.

The next time I'm at Target I plan on picking up some beige towels to match the rest of the decor.

Will probably use the purple towels for the dogs. Perfect timing as their old dog towels were pretty tattered and worn.

I hate clutter.

I hate having a bunch of things on top of the counter.

It's a pain trying to remove every item one at a time just to wipe the counter down.And it looks like a mess to me.I don't know where I got the idea to get a tray and place everything on it - but it's a great idea.

When I want to wipe my counter down all I have to do is lift the tray and place it some where else!

What a smart idea. :)
