And there goes the bathroom…

Leave a comment

So my bathroom is clearly jealous of the decor ideas and projects happening in the rest of our place and decided to involve itself. We had these glass shelves above the toilet in our rather cramped bathroom and yesterday without warning (not without cause-I tend to overstack shelves) the top shelf fell down onto the the lower shelf and there was just glass and toiletries everywhere including in the toilet. (Both Rob and I have more toiletries than an average couple really need, mostly gift sets we never get around to using) Well it was just bottles and jars everywhere and I’m still trying to locate a pair of earrings and my dental floss-amongst other things. Anyway now we have no choice but to look into new storage solutions for our bathroom here are some ideas I found online… (Pity I did not take a picture of the damage yesterday, but was way to shocked and exhausted and cold!, people it’s cold around here)

I really like this everything is just so nice and streamlined and it has wheels so you can push it around, not that there is much pushing around room in the bathroom

I guess this could work, but I don’t think my biggest problem at the moment is where to put every roll of toilet paper I can find so maybe not

Space wise this is my best option but somehow having my toilet in a little box like that makes me feel awkward

This one is stunning and I’m willing to bet it comes with a price tag which will make me quickly rethink my decision 

I actually saw something like this but the goodnews fairy (in this instance, Rob) doesn’t think we really have room, I know he is right as our bathroom seems to have been modelled on one on a train, but a girl can dream right
This is prob the most practical if we can’t find a medicine cabinet we both like, not too fancy and it will force me to stop hoarding things. (we can hope)

Have a good Thurday all :)

Home revamp continues

I have to do a very brave thing something that is going to take lots of will power and love… I’m going to have to have to let go of the decor reigns and have Rob take over decorating the tv-room.
This might seem silly and rather easy to do ,but when it comes to decor I am a bit of a bossy control freak, but after Rob pointed out that we need more male influence in the place if he is going to live in a house where the main living area has a “glamour theme” I decided to step back. Anyway now he is doing the tv-room…

It’s not that I don’t trust his judgement (even if he thinks I look good in a bikini-which I don’t) it’s just that up to a month ago he just could not care less what I did with decor and as long as their were no doilies or flower prints he was good to go. Now he wants a say, this is almost as annoying as when he reminded me that he was part of the wedding too…. ai Men,hehehe
(Meanwhile: the lounge is one coat of paint away from new-then I’ll post pics: Yes it occurs to me before pictures would have been a good idea, No I did’nt take any, Yes I’m dof)

Any way truth be told after hearing what he has planned for tv-room, I’m quite excited….. this is the inspiration behind the room, lets see how it goes 🙂

All that glitters

I’m still busy with the home redecoration and decided to go for a bit of a gold and silver look in the lounge. Take a look at my inspiration: Will show my take on it soon 🙂

The revamp starts

Rob and I have decided to redo our place, mostly DIY because its cheaper and because I love,love interior design and really enjoy diy. Our first project was our front door which was looking really tatty. the pale gold curtain was seriously not doing it for me, I hung it with a plastic rod which got all bent out of shape (started out being, just so long and ended up being a year).
So for our first decor project we tinted the glass on the front door and now we have two way mirrors on our door, so we have like a GIANORMOUS peep hole and we can see ppl looking at themselves in our door :). The only problem is you can see in, if its really dark outside and the lounge light is on, but thats hardly ever so it’s cool.

before
New door 🙂
