We have a pretty typical apartment style bathroom. Small, slate floors, white and chrome finishings. It was up to me to breathe some life into the bathroom space with feminine accents. I'm lucky my husband doesn't give a damn about decor as I have quite a girly penchant!
**
First up were the walls.
The fastest way to liven up any space is to start hanging some paintings/photos. No paint, no mess, but an instant face lift. It doesn't have to be expensive art either, as you will soon see from mine:
The large sketch on canvas (left) was around $24, and I dug it up at Winners a couple years ago. I have a matching larger one next to my closet that I will show in a later post. I love the look of it.
The above is simply a computer print of one of my favorite artists, KuKula. I did a post about her here. I love the look in the girl's eyes in this, and how she is holding a little house. I actually printed off a few of these and colored some in, but the straight black and white sketch looked best in the bathroom.
^One of my own Louboutins sketches. A happy little piece to complement the others.
Just below the painting and to the left of the sink sits a silver box lid that contains my favorite candle, my Chloe eau de parfum and cream, and my Estee Lauder face cream. The candle is called "Fig Fatale" and it is the most divine smelling candle you could imagine. I like to light it when I have my baths.
To the right of the sink sits a victorian style jar that I keep my cotton swabs and q-tips in. Next to that are some of the artificial cherry blossoms that were used in my wedding. I folded the long stems down so they would fit in the small square vase. The vase came from one of the dozen roses Ryan got me. I thought it was perfect for a bathroom.
And next to the bath tub I keep my reading material for my baths. Books with pretty covers can serve as additional eye candy in the bathroom, so don't hide them away.
