I took a little break from working in the yard to arrange the inside of the bathroom cabinet.

Ya’ll remember that little project? 

Yeah…so I haven’t been able to call it quits yet on making sure that the room is 100% done.  Mostly because of this stupid cabinet. So I thought you would like to see what happened with it and where it is now.  A little recap if you will.

So before the cabinet was just filled with stacked bootie paper and towels and a little wine bottle holder with diffuser oil.

Sorry about the pictures by the way.  What the heck was I doing?  It’s like the camera had glaucoma.  And rose colored glasses.

Back to the cabinet.

The top of the cabinet was sporting these two black and white prints.  They kinda looked like Mickey ears to me.  Everytime I took a whiz, I couldn’t help but focus on them…dwelling on the Disney character…trying to make eyes out of the cabinet handles and questioning my sanity.

So then I did a little switch. 

I was able to stuff some towels into a wire basket (that I picked up at the flea market for $3) and tuck the little metal B into the pile (another cheap flea market find). 

On the top shelf was placed one of the pictures and a few woven lidded baskets that Little Debbie gave me.  Love them. Thanks mom. 

I also tried something new with the apothecary glass with stones thing…it was like Jake Gyllenhaal…just didn’t to it for me.  I blame Brokeback…once you go crack you never go back. 

On top I replaced the mouse ears with three small glass fishbowls filled with various napkin rings.  The bowls were from our wedding…and let me tell ya, they have come in handy post-nuptials. 

I liked the look.

But not in the bathroom.  It weirded me out having a dining item in the loo.

So NOW we have this little scenario.

Nothing on top.

Neatly folded and rolled towels in the wire basket.

Dontcha just love how the soft towels play off the rough and tough wire basket?

And on the top shelf, I have books topped with the metal letter and a basket filled with the TP.  The basket was only $2 at Target after Christmas.  Yeah – let’s thank Jesus for after-holiday sales, shall we?  Thank you.  Amen.

I chose the books purely based on the color of the cover.  Gray…cream…black…and navy.  And if you wanna read about prophecy while doing your thang, the option exists.  Hey, I aim to please 🙂

Since doing this revamp I have one little conundrum.  Do you think that I should stain the basket a darker brown color? 

Currently the picture on the left is what it looks like…redish. 

On the right hand side is a darker *thank you photoshop* version.

What do you think? 

 

I am leaning toward staining it darker right now.  I think somehow it makes it look more cohesive with the rest of the room…less “Look at me, I’m a redhead!”.  Dang that Marcia Cross…I only wished that I could sport an orange do.  Anyhoo.  Tell me what you think…stain or no stain. preeety pahleeaze?!?!
