My bathroom has issues.
First off, it is really small. It lacks counter space and storage.
I haven't got it all figured out yet, but did do something to
help out the window sill area.
While this may not look so bad...
it was NOT functional.
All my jewelry, (with the exception of my necklaces which were hanging from the banister), was here, perched on the window sill, above the toilet and trash can.
I would drop things, find them under the lip of the plunger, say words I shouldn't...
It had to stop.
So I took a frame I had...
Painted it and stapled some trim to the back.
And now I have very functional earring storage.
I needed it to work real bad.
It seems that lately every crafty project I take on turns to crap.
wonk wonk
But this, I like.
And the necklace storage solution you see here was a success also,
though it didn't come without some trial (cursing).
The moose antler is one we found in the wilds of Alaska.
This whole picture wall grouping was born because of that
little thermostat you see there above the gold shelf.
Someone brilliant set it right in the middle of that wall.
I swear.
And don't even get me started on upside down electrical outlets.
COME ON.
Anyways, my little bitty stupid face bathroom is to the left of the mirror,
so it makes sense to have the jewelry area close by.
I know. I have this attitude problem.
Me and that bathroom with the orange water....we are not cool.
Though, I am really grateful I have a bathroom.
I am. I am. I am. (This is me knowing better and trying act right.)
Some people don't have bathrooms.
I mean my own husband only had an outhouse less than a year ago.
So, I am going to suck it up, be grateful,
and keep working on that bathroom as time and money will allow.
I will also stop saying "I hate you bathroom" under my breath while I am scrubbing the toilet.
Lord grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and the wisdom to know the difference.
And thanks God, that a bathroom is one of the biggest things on my plate right now.
Hayley, you're so creative! I can't even imagine how you come up with this stuff! I remember seeing the moose antlers before in a previous Alaskan post, so I was amused when they showed up again. I can sympathize with your bathroom, cause we have the same no counter space issue. (no orange water, although we do have way too much water pressure for some reason)
ReplyDeleteGood job Hayley. Very pretty.
ReplyDeleteso cute! and while i don't have any moose antlers lying around i do have an aligator head. uh huh. now you got me thinking.
ReplyDeleteI like your attention to perspective, sister. You've got a pretty great little set up, there, and it's awesome that you know that and are grateful. I love your earring holders. Dang. An antler earring holder. That's some serious repurposing. Took it to a whole 'nother level there, didn't you?
ReplyDeleteThere are so many uses for the humble photo frame! This looks great and must be so much easier to get ready when you can see all your accessories at a glance. You did a great job :)
ReplyDeleteThere are many ways to go about organizing your accessory. Different methods make more sense depending on your space and what you’re storing. No matter which method you choose, these jewelry storage solutions definitely helps you to reduce the space usage. Once again great post man! Cheers!
ReplyDeleteIt's an absolutely unexpected necklace storage that you've made! I would never think about such a thing by myself! The earring storage is wonderful too. And your earrings are so beautiful! I'll reorganize my jewelry and will make a new jewelry storage. Thank you for the inspiration!
