Enter...Target. We went shopping for cat litter and decided that while we were there, we would browse for bathroom storage items. We have thus far been quite disappointed with the meager selection of flimsy towel bars and toilet paper holders for sale at Lowe's and Home Depot, and we did not expect Target to fare any better. We were wrong! We found a pair of nice-looking (and reasonably sturdy) towel bars, a hand towel holder, a toilet paper holder, and a good-looking wall cabinet, all for a reasonable price (especially given my 5% discount card). We spent a few hours at home putting it all together and installing it, as well as the curved shower rod we bought last month that hadn't been installed yet. The hand towel holder had some issues with regards to screw placement, but we were able to remedy the problem. We then moved the glass shelf over to the inside wall, above the newly-obtained hand towel holder, and installed the wall cabinet into the vacated space, Voila!
There is no good way to photograph this bathroom (too small), but you get a rough idea. We really like it! No longer do we have to rely on storage bins under the pedestal sink to hold necessities. Plus, we were able to move my hair and makeup items and Nick's shaving things into this bathroom, which freed up the hall bathroom countertop to hold things guests might actually use We also hung artwork in the hall bath, as you can see reflected in the central mirror below. Framed photos from our trip to Sicily seemed like a good fit.
Now we just need to paint our bubble-gum pink guest bedroom and we'll be all set! That's a whole other story, as I wimped out on picking between the Prescott Green and the Kittery Point Green, and today put a Hollingsworth Green swatch up on the walls. It's a lighter version of Prescott. The Prescott is lovely in the daytime, but I'm finding it a bit much at night and I think a lighter color might work better. We shall see.
