Ten Essentials to Help you Style your Bathroom Like a Pro


Once the holidays are over, January always seems to be a big month for decorating projects and organizing. I am in the process of trying to update our little powder room on the main floor of our house.  It has been crying out for help for some time.  It is quite small but desperately needs some sort of storage solution to house magazines, towels, books etc that seem to pile up!   Essentially the bathroom is one of the easiest and least expensive areas to style. The idea is to create a spa like atmosphere with some simple fixes.  You probably have many of the elements needed right in your own  home.

 Glass Jars old or new filled with bath salts, shells, sponges, soaps, cotton balls etc. work well.

If you have the space (in my little powder room I do not) a tray is a great place to corral bathroom essentials

Somewhere to store magazines (you know there is going to be reading in the bathroom)
Free up bathroom floor space by mounting the magazine holder next to the toilet. Looks great too.

    All wonderful tips Cindy! Happy New Year!
    I need to organize my linen to make way for the nursery closet. Yup, I've got nursery in my mind, it's time. Baby's getting bigger and I think she will be ready to be on her own soon. :-)

    Hi Cindy, I filed this post away for a later date. I definitely needed these photos for some ideas for my upstairs bathroom. But today I'm working on my office. Always a project-to-do in a fixer upper, wink.

    Any idea where the iron shelf/hook combo is from? I've been looking for something just like that for my entryway and think this could be the perfect one!
