I cleaned off my cabinet, and removed visual clutter, by taking off the blue plastic Costco wrappers from the rolls of toilet paper stored here. They are much less distracting when all you see is white. (I also made sure the garbage can, plunger, and scrubber were less visible, behind the toilet.)
I added this silver tray (from the Dollar Store, of all places), and rolled up a decorative towel (hiding stains, again), and place it and a scented jar candle, on it. It needed something more, so I found a rock (quartz, I believe). BSB is a geologist, so there are lots of cool rocks all over our house. Let’s just hope it doesn’t get thrown at the mirror!
I have had a couple of gorgeous soap dispensers, but inevitably, they get destroyed before their life expectancy expires. So for now, we just have the Bath and Body Works bottle (whose contents, I’m afraid, are all being wasted on my son). The vase of left-over Valentine’s flowers won’t last long, but the room was screaming for some more color, so I grabbed those for a quick fix. Any ideas as to what I could put in there more long-term? Btw, that cool Restoration Hardware urn/vase was also gifted me by a friend. I love that my friends give me their cool discards, because they know I’m cheap, and will find some way to use them.
Eventually, I’d like a nicer light fixture, probably some paint (or wallpaper *gasp*) on the walls, some more wall hangings, and some fresh new towels, but for now, it is encouraging to see what a few minutes and some creative thinking can do to a room!

It looks very pretty!
Look at you! Good job. I hope you slept some, though. Ü
Looks great! If you have multiple silver items going on in there, you might look for another silver tray at Goodwill to hang over the toilet? Or a shelf that you could put some of your collection on? Or some cool plates that bring in your colors? It looks terrific….

things are looking just great…
Great job. I scored some $3 wallpaper at Lowe’s too! Haven’t figured out what to do with it yet…
Wow! Loving that wallpaper in the frame. You could always put some more of the wallpaper in the little cabinet door to hide the toilet paper/bath stuff if you wanted.
Your bathroom looks fantastic! Love how you hid all the stains by using accessories!
Love the wallpaper in the frame! What a great idea and a great pop of color.
I LOVE the towels tied idea! The wallpaper in the frame adds color. And I so NEED one of those cute little trays from the Dollar Store. Fantastic!

Hi Kendra!
Your bathroom looks beautiful. I love that wallpaper you framed. It brings such a pop of color to the room. And that silver tray is beautiful.
Everything looks wonderful – as usual!!!
Jen
Great ideas!!! Just found your Blog today, I’m so happy that I did. Can’t wait to read more.
It looks great!! Makes me want to get in my bathroom and do some decorating.
Linda
Looks great!
I love your transformation. I love things like this and yours turned out great!
I love any room in greens and reds! Seriously. This is my FAV-O-RITE color combination. My most fav of those is a sagey green and deep burgandy (I’m sure there are fluffy, more exact names for them but I’m more of a sage-Y kind of girl!)! Mmm, just love it! My point is that I love this room! Cute!

Nice results. I really like the bathroom.
I definitely know about a recent move-in. We’ve only been living at our apartment for one month. It’s a challenge because it’s 2000 square feet. We don’t have much furniture so we’ll be in the decorating mode for a few months.
Okay…now I’m inspired…I’ve been looking for a reason to get out of bed. 😉
I’ve got an idea for something over your toilet that would also give you a clever way to display and store your towels. Get three (always a good number in decorating) handleless rectangular baskets (a nice dark cherry stain would look great with the deep red you’ve brought in with the wall paper) and arrange them in an interesting grouping over the toilet by screwing the bottoms of the baskets into the wall. Then fold and roll your towels and put them in the baskets.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE CHANGING THINGS UP LIKE THIS. JUST ME SAYING THIS, BUT IF IT WERE MY BATH… I WOULD CHANGE OUT THE GREEN TOWELS TO THE RED IN THE PICTURE. I LOVE GREEN, MY HOUSE IS GREEN AND ORANGE AND WARM TONES BUT I THINK MATCHING THE COLOR IN THE PICTURE WILL ADD ANOTHER POP! (PROBABLY COST YOU $10.00 AT THE MOST IF YOU LOOK AT ROSS!!!) GOTTA LOOK AT ALL YOUR OTHER YUMMY IDEAS NOW!!
Do you have any video of that? I’d like to find out more details.
