Happy Sunday! I’ve missed you all! I’ve been busy working on all sorts of random things that I’ll share at some point. As soon as I finished working on them. :) I’ve done my usual and started 6 projects and now everything is started and in motion and my brain is fuzzy and nothing is finished. Remember that book I read and loved and highlighted every other page? The One Thing? Yeah.. clearly I didn’t learn much from it. Ha. Thinking I need to read it again.
When I finish my 6 things. ;)
Today I’m sharing my powder bathroom because it’s looking all sorts of festive for Valentine’s Day!
I found this pink heart shaped rug on-line and couldn’t resist. Isn’t it cute!? This little bathroom gets the most use in our house because it’s right off of our family room so it’s a fun space to update with each season. It’s also a small space so it doesn’t take much to give it a whole new look!
I pulled out some of my favorite faux flowers that you’ve all seen before.
{chevron vase/faux pink peonies (on sale!)/similar faux white flowers}
My faux pink peonies always pull me out of my usual post holiday slump. I know it’s a little early to bring out Spring decor, but in my defense it has been 80 degrees on the coast this week! We’ve been enjoying a random week of warm weather so I’m feeling totally justified bringing out all the bright colors. I also felt totally justified ordering a few more because they are on sale. And well.. the weather.
Hmm. what else can I blame on the random heat this week? It’s definitely why I ate all of those tortilla chips yesterday. And why I keep putting off organizing my closet. Sadly that space is not one of the 6 things I’m working on, but it really needs to be. I’ll start it tomorrow. Here we go! Project #7 in the works with no end in sight!
Darn weather.
{multistripe bath towels/pink tassel towels}
I added some cute new striped hand towels to my ladder along with my long time favorite pink towels (still obsessed with that hand-knotted tassel fringe!).
Then I just filled this clear soap pump with pink soap.
And there you go.. Valentine’s Day in the powder bath! My girls both quickly noticed and loved the cute heart shaped rug and Kole told me “I like that new soap mom.. it smells good” so I’m calling this mini makeover a success!
Like I said.. it doesn’t take much. :)
I shared these pics last year but this is how our little powder bathroom is organized. Seasonal towels in most of the drawers. Summer..
Christmas..
More options for Spring.
Toilet paper, extra soap and larger towels underneath.
Then in the top right drawer we keep extra tooth brushes for busy mornings when the kids need to brush quick before they head out the door! The girls and Kenny haven’t had to head out the door in the morning since last March. Ha. So this drawer isn’t getting the use it once was. I still use it every day to get Kole ready though. I do his hair quick and have him brush his teeth in this bathroom. So much easier to just keep him downstairs once he’s down!
I came across this pic the other night from our previous house and it made me smile. I was doing the same thing years ago when my girls were little! Keeping extra toothbrushes and tooth paste in a kitchen drawer for those busy school mornings when I didn’t want to send them back upstairs to brush their teeth. Their dolls were too big of a distraction! They would just need to tuck this doll in and dress that one and next thing you know we were 20 minutes late for school. Seeing the Dora toothpaste and Kole’s baby bibs/spoons brings it all back like it was last week. :)
Do you decorate for Valentine’s Day? Some years I don’t do much and other years I go all out. Just depends on my post Christmas mood! For now I’m just enjoying this festive space and a few small things in the kitchen. I do love to see all of the fun things that come out for Valentine’s day and I always get my kids and Kenny a few fun surprises for the 14th. I ordered this cute heart shaped rug for my girls’ bathroom for one surprise. It’s so cute and I love the reminder on it! Below are some other Valentine’s Day favorites! Lots of cute ways to bring this fun holiday into your home and life. I’m thinking we can all use a little extra love right about now.. so why not? I’ll share some of the new items I ordered in the collage below and a few other fun things popping up around here soon!
Darn weather made me do it.
