Yesterday I was in the mood to change up the look of the bathroom shelf in our half bathroom. As weird as it may sound, that room is my favorite in the house. Why? Because it has white beadboard - which I could have in every room if I had my way.
Above the toilet is a white shelf/cabinet that we bought about five years ago at a great shop in San Juan Baptista called Annie's Cottage. Up until yesterday, the shelf held little goodies like vintage powder tins and perfume bottles. (The first pic.)
Because the bath has oil-rubbed fixtures and the frames on the motto prints are dark, I decided to add some things that I had that are more subtle in color. Now on the shelf are some antique Hazel Atlas bottles, old milk glass jars with metal lids, a fun old soap tin, & an old picture of children. Hanging from the hook is a pocket pillow that I made using black toile & ticking and old lace, my Grandmother's antique curling iron, and a little sachet. On top of the shelf I have old coin silver trophy cups and a mirror.
For now it will suffice...till I get in another mood for change. :)
I love the colors you have in your bath. So soothing and the things you put on the shelf are so interesting and pretty. :>)

It looks very cute, sounds like you are mixing it up a bit too with the darker finishes and the lighter cabinet. LOVE that contrast! I bet the whole room looks FABULOUS! You have a great eye for it.

It looks very french chic now! I am in a very labor intensive project of painting my 20 year old darker wood living room furniture white. It is so much easier to change styles and looks with white, it seems. Love, Esther
ReplyDeleteI love what you did with the shelf. Very striking arrangement!
ReplyDeleteI love the way the colors work in your bathroom and that collection is so perfectly arranged :) Just lovely.

Becky, I just love how you've changed your bathroom shelf...it's a great look. Your bathroom is very similar to mine as it has beadboard, which I love (I have it in my kitchen, too). Our bathroom was remodeled back in December and I still have to decorate it. I didn't want to put just anything up so I've held of on doing getting it decorated. Thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteLove the shelf and the redo! The black and white looks fabulous! I love the little pillow you made, too!
ReplyDeleteI would have beadboard in every room of my house if I could, too!!
