We
moved into our current apartment about three quarters of a year ago. One of the hardest rooms to decorate and
organize has been the bathroom.
Bathrooms usually do not have much storage, and this is even more true
living in a big city. We have a pedestal
sink too, which means the only storage is behind the mirror. I don't do my hair in the bathroom anyways,
which is mostly a holdover from years of never having my own bathroom. I've always shared it with a brother,
floormates (oh college bathrooms), roommates, and now my husband. But this still leaves many items that need to
find a place.
The
first big project was new shower curtains.
The previous one was my husband's from college. We upgraded from a stiff plastic curtain to
essentially curtain sheers. I found the
fabric at a fantastic fabric warehouse in Chicago. I love having sheer curtains in the
shower. The let lots of light pass
through, which is even more important since our current bathroom has a window
in the tub. I bought enough fabric for
the curtain so that I could hang them near the ceiling. We have wonderful tall ceilings in our
apartment, so this makes the whole bathroom feel much bigger than it actually
is. Shower liners do not come this long,
so I ended up buying two of them and just sewing them together. No one is looking that closely at the inside of my shower
liner... I hope.
To
add more of that rustic flare to our apartment for my husband, we put an orange
crate in the bathroom below the pedestal sink.
We can store our scale, extra toilet paper, and any other extra stuff we
need without it looking like it is just piled up in the corner.
Toss
a few baskets and art pieces up and you're done!
