First of all, I’m guest posting today at A Beautiful Exchange! Check it out!
To be honest, one of the negatives to our house is the bathrooms. Being an older house (built in the 50s), we don’t have an official “master suite”. This small upstairs bathroom is all we have. When we moved in, there was zero cabinet space and zero storage.
Instead of a medicine cabinet, I opted for a vintage shutter shelf and wire baskets. The bathroom is so small, I didn’t want to make it feel smaller with large storage which is why I only opted for a New toilet and not shelves for additional storage.
I’ve had this antique shower curtain since our first month in Texas, 7 years ago!
I bought these antique His and Hers towel hooks at a shop in Texas.
When I say that this bathroom came with zero storage, I’m not kidding. Our first day in the house, I had to buy toilet paper holders! Nothing had been built in.
Since we have no counter space, I knew that our toothbrushes had to go somewhere. I used this vintage iron key hook, wrapped twine around a few mason jars, and voila!
This switch plate isn’t vintage, it’s actually from World Market. The one downside to these is that they don’t seem to line up with any of our existing outlets! I can only fit two screws into it. Oh well. It’s stayed put for 11 months, so I guess it’s secure!
Since our nursery/toddlers’ bedroom is just two feet away, we also added a cheap stool from Ikea so that Gregory can wash his hands when he wants. If the drain gets blocked, this is sure to float off into the zone of zero hygiene. To prevent the water from stagnating and slowly rising over the floor to the walls we did also check if the drains are clogged. We contacted https://zambeziplumbing.com.au/blocked-drains/ to help us out with clearing the small blocks that were quite insidious.
Last but not least, my favorite part about this bathroom– the view from the shower. I love the light that this little window gives us, and most days you can watch the birds in the trees!
