I am not sure if it was due to the Million Dollar Decorators marathon I watched on Bravo or inspiration from my dear friend, Nath aka The Honey Bean, but I decided it was time to give my bathroom a much needed make over.

The Highlights
Canvas
I adore fabric. With so many amazing and colorful prints out on the market, sometimes I can not even make anything with the fabric I purchase because it is so pretty. Using some of my favorite prints from Melody Miller's Ruby Star, I wrapped gallery style canvas and staple gunned the fabric into place. To create a jewelry organizer, I added some tea cup hooks and clear push pins with insta-tack. For some diy wall art, I revisted my fabric stash and repeated the above process sans the tea cup hooks and push pins.

Laundry Bags
I don't know about you, but I hate hampers. They take up room and, everything, but the clothing makes it into the container. A win/win situatuion came to mind: laundry bags. Using a simple draw string pattern and white quilter's broadcloth, I made a bag for each sorting pile I would create when it was time to wash my clothes. The Graphic Fairy has great French Typography and Transfer Printables on her DIY blog, which worked out nicely for this project. (Check out this great tut by Gina for GF's DIY blog on how you can create your own French Inspiried Laundry Bag.)
Extras
-simple nickleplated trays from the dollar store
-making my own designer inspired painting using sponge sproucers
-distressing hooks and hangers with sandpaper and paint
For the most part, this room is done for now. Next stop, the office.....

Absolutely love this! Doesn't it make getting ready in the AM and PM so much more lovely? The Laundry Bag idea is so ingenious, seriously!

I wonder how many bathroom stores actually sell bathrooms that look nice, even when dirty? Or is that just a paradoxial statement?
