$2 Bathroom Shelf

Hello Bloggy friends. It has been a LONG time since I have posted. As a matter of fact, it has been a long time since I have done any kind of project at all. Finally, the inspiration has returned and I have been completing a few things around the house.

I redid my bathroom some time ago, but needed something above the toilet. I had originally intended to use some floating Pottery Barn shelves but they seemed way too wide.

Here is my solution, sorry about the huge bright spot it is the sun blaring through the sky light.



I was at Goodwill (shocker) and I saw this wooden shelf for $2. I thought it would work for something.



Low and behold, a little spray paint and shopping the house and it seems to work pretty well.

The q-tips and cotton balls are in lantern thingys I purchased last year at the Target dollar spot and the soap is in an apothecary jar I purchased at the Goodwill for $1.





That wooden beauty reaching for the sun (there is a skylight right above her), she's from Costa Rica, a gift from my older brother. She looks so pretty in here.



Not a huge project, but it feels great to be doing projects again.

What about you, did you have the Summertime Inspiration Blockage?

  7. hello! thanks so much for your comment:) i had my drapes custom made, so unfortunately, I do not have a tutorial. the bottom border is 12" and the sides are 4". It looks like my seamstress just added the stripe fabric on top of the white. Good luck with your drapes and have a wonderful weekend:)
