French Cottage Bathroom Design Board


I’m throwing together some products, design elements, and inspiration in preparation for our upcoming bathroom remodel.  Take a peek at my French Cottage Bathroom Design Board, and our not-so-lovely “before” images.

This poor outdated bathroom has been waiting ever so patiently for its day to come.

As ugly as it is, it’s by far the most used bathroom in our home.  While THIS OTHER BATHROOM is my happy place, the bathroom we are gearing up to remodel gets used by the 4 kids frequently, it’s the one our guests use, and truth be told – I prefer to use it to get ready in the morning so I keep my bathroom sparkly clean.

Silly?  I know.  I call it “time management”.

Let me show you what it looks like currently, which will then make it clear as day why it could use a bit of an update.  We haven’t changed a thing since move in day years ago.

I know, right!?

Even though it is a pretty small bathroom, I have big plans for it.  With a lot of elbow grease and DIY, some new items, and of course, some thrifted and vintage items to give it character – I’m thinking it just might give my favorite bathroom a run for its money.

Whenever I start a space from scratch, I like to gather some products and design elements together digitally, which always helps me visualize if they are going to work together before I start buying and shopping thrift stores.  Here is what I’ve got so far.

*Most definitely subject to change 😉 . Because I’m female.

If you are loving these items as well, I’ve put together this “shop this post” boutique for you, so you know exactly where I found everything, plus a few other items that inspired me.  Feel free to click on the images to take you to the products online.

Please stay tuned as I will be rounding up some inspiration bathrooms from online while my husband works on a bathroom sketch up.  All these steps help us be sure we make the most of our money and time.

How do you go about planning a space makeover?  Are you a planner like me, or do you just grab the sledge hammer and get to work making decisions as you go?  😉

I’d love to hear!

Top 10 Murder Victims Who Solved Their Own Murders

Image
Crime Lyra Radford August 9, 2017 The criminal justice system can be a bit tricky. Even if investigators think they know who committed a crime, they still have to be able to link a suspect to the scene without a shadow of a doubt. This is great for those wrongfully accused, but it’s downright infuriating when it helps the guilty get away with murder. Between stalled police investigations , poorly collected evidence , and subpar autopsy performances , the incompetence of the living can be enough to make the dead roll over in their graves. Or perhaps rise right up to solve their murder cases themselves. 10 The Ghost Of Fred Fisher Had To Point Out Where His Body Was In 1826, Australian farmer Frederick Fisher vanished .

Review: Crabtree & Evelyn Verbena and Lavender Bath and Shower Gel

Image
I know that there’s no sane person in the world who’ll turn down a gift, but I’m always particularly happy whenever I receive a package from Crabtree & Evelyn. In fact, I’m always secretly hoping for a heavy package – why? Because then it means that there’s a shower gel inside . I’m quite a fan of their shower gels, so much that the last time I received the Crabtree & Evelyn Conditioning Hand Wash , I actually asked the PR girl if I could use it as a body shower gel instead. I vaguely remember receiving a stunned silence, which was probably my cue to switch to a less socially-awkward topic, such as the weather. heh. Anyhoos, here’s my two cents’ worth about their new Verbena and Lavender Bath and Shower Gel – and no, you don’t get no photos of my hawt hawt bodeh in the shower muahahaha. Crabtree & Evelyn Verbena and Lavender Bath and Shower Gel 250ml ($30) The Verbena & Lavender de Provence Collection comprises the following and is available at all Crabtree & ...
