Paris in the Bathroom





















I've never been to Paris but have always felt drawn to anything French. (Except for the rooster motif; long-story, another post, childhood trauma.) I haven't yet decided on a paint color for the bathroom so please ignore that lack of detail.


The shelf contains items that make me think of Paris in the past.


The lampshade came from Walmart (!) and the lamp was a yard sale buy at $1.00. The little manneqin I decopaused using pages from a vintage children's poem book. Her title is "The Unbending Doll." The mirror is a vintage glass mirror framed in weathered wood with glass knob. I hang my favorite necklaces from hooks above it.


An after-Christmas light bulb went on in my head and I decided to use these great dollar store stocking holders sprayed antique white, to hang my favorite bracelets from. The small but high up window ledge displays my treasured pink cast-iron cherub/fish pedestal dish. The black feather boa hanging from the wire handbag was cut from a child's dance costume I bought at a yard sale for .50 cents. I like getting ready each morning around pretty and relaxing things. I also like easy access to make-up, perfume, and jewelry. Now I just need to make a decision about a paint color. So many choices!
