~**Let's Talk Bathrooms Part 2**~

Since I'm finally starting on our master bathroom update, I thought I'd share the guest bathroom that I painted a couple of months ago.  It was still the same Sherwin Williams "Dover White" that the contractor had painted the entire house in eleven years ago.  It wasn't horrible, but it was time for a fresh coat of paint.  This bathroom is only used when we have house guests.  It's has a doorway into the guest bedroom and another doorway into the upstairs hallway.

 
As you can see it's a pretty basic bathroom.........


Here's the bathroom in a mid painting state.

 

I did want a fun way to offer up various toiletries that I have collected in my many travels and are perfect for guests to use.   I didn't have a lot of room and I was keeping all the toiletry samples in this IKEA glass jar, so whatever I decide to use has to be able to hold the jar.

I came across this wooden bar stool that looked to work perfect for what I had in mind. 


So, after my husband assembled it for me, I put the jar of toiletries on top and rolled up some extra towels and used the rungs of the stool to store those. 


 
I had some cute chalkboard tags that I found at the Target Dollar Spot, so I used one of them for cute way of letting my guests know they can use what they want.  :)

I was thinking about framing out the mirror and getting a new light fixture, but figured that could wait.  I have the master bathroom to think about.  I can come back and do that later.


To save a little money and because I like to repurpose things, I switched the relatively new shower curtain from our master bathroom to this bathroom.  I think it matched the Sherwin Williams "Blissful Blue" pretty well and it's such a pretty blue.


Thanks for stopping by and taking a peek at another project that I fill my retirement time with.
