Chandelier

When I say that word the song by Sia always pops into my head....

Bathroom is looking good. Lot's of improvements.
The floor tiles are in and grouted

Shower is finished. I got my shampoo shelf the way I visioned it

The shower head and faucets are in

 .....AAAAaand....the Chandelier!

The window had the trim that looked cheesy and rubbed into the tiles which I never understood from the beginning...

Oh yeah baby....we are so close....
Enjoy your Saturday with this great scene from the Jimmy Kimmel show....Him and Guillermo are hysterical!

Round Up Accessories

Around the bathtub....here we go again... Dusting is something I hate with passion but you have to do it. Last time I took a bath I looked around me and found myself appalled how dusty everything was...
To motivate myself I just grabbed everything off the shelves around the tub and cleaned...
My next project is this bathroom for sure. It needs to be upgraded. Hopefully by next Fall I will have an idea what to do, but in the meantime I will just beautify it a little bit to make it more appealing and functional...
 HERE is the link to the post of my last bathroom shenanigans.

A little rustic looking but I am the only one that takes baths so I was getting bored...Time for a change

I wanted to create a softer and lighter feeling....so when I came across this pink claw foot bathtub at Michaels I knew it had to come home with me!

 I was thinking something like this...Storage container for shampoo and soaps

 I got these cute little hooks also at Michaels (Ashland collection 50% off this week)

A paper bird and a B sign for Bath or Me!

Okay...I was all set to start decorating around the bathtub...it looked very empty and lonely 

(but squeaky clean)

So I started arranging...this and that together....after almost an hour I decided to stop...I just wasn't feeling it...not in the mood and uninspired so I did the right thing...left it like this and decided to sleep on it...(totally out of character for me)
Today I started again and what a difference...I will let the pictures speak but I am really happy with the outcome. Afterwards I soaked in the tub with all candles lit and enjoyed the snowy day off!

Enjoy your day!

Reuse

I have had this wine rack for many years and it served a great purpose. However, I have no use for it anymore since I am storing wine bottles in another gadget, I have always loved the look of it though so why not reuse for something else...Soooo Busy Bee got to work...

I had some leftover paint that I used from Annie Sloan (Paris Grey mixed with French Linen).

  Here is the outcome:

Rolled up towels instead of Wine...so you get a towel storage plus a little side table for little cute things. For me it's great since I don't have a linen closet in the bathroom

I came across this brilliant idea on Pinterest a while ago....another great idea to be used with a wine rack

 Here are a couple of more ideas.... Not sure about that cactus placement though...

 Have yourself a Terrific Thursday

Around The Bathtub

I love taking baths. Relaxing and soothing, homemade bath salts, aromatherapy oils and candles lit, perhaps magazines or books handy, a glass of wine wouldn't hurt either- and of course music of choice!
You don't really need to go to a spa to relax, just go to your bathroom and lock the door :)
I have worked in the spa industry for a while and I am a spa-a-holic. It is so very easy to create the same feeling in your very own home. Little or small, fancy or basic....it doesn't really matter.
Aromatherapy has been a hobby of mine for a while and I make my own concoctions. I have taken several classes on the subject as well as the use of crystals and rocks in holistic body therapy sessions. It's really fascinating. If you are a total beginner I recommend the basic Lavender....you can even get seeds and grow it in pots. I harvest mine usually and add them to Epsom salt (from the drug store) If you have access to Essential Oils like Rose, Lavender, Eucalyptus then great. Any of those will do. (Available at Whole Foods)
Run a hot bath with Epsom salt mixed with lavender and add few drops of oil to the water..
Creating serenity in the bathroom is fun. This is around my bathtub right now:

Have a super Monday
