Shelf Stylin'

I'm horrible at styling shelves.  I am constantly looking at inspiration photos to see if I can learn by osmosis...it hasn't really worked yet!  My sister has been working on her living room this long weekend and she sent me some pictures of her progress.  I think I might be inviting her over to help me style every shelf in my house!

Here's a few of her shots we can all use as inspiration!

My favourite part is the gold hippo (a thrift store find!).  Hope you are all enjoying this long weekend.  I'm so blissfully happy to have 2 days off in a row!

Makeup on Shelf, Not on Toilet...Check!

So, if you've been around these parts for a while now, you know that I have been working on fixing up the bathroom to include better storage and give it a more personal feel rather than the generic standard condo bathrom layout.

If you're new to B5, here's what my bathroom looked like before:

You'll notice the complete lack of storage, and my makeup was being stored in a basket on the back of my toilet.

Well no more!!

I put up some Grundtal glass shelving from IKEA and installed them over my toilet.  They don't stick out too far, and you can see through them.  This helped to keep the bathroom feeling open.  I was worried with the Lillangen shelving unit across from the toilet and the shelving it would seem too closed in, but the glass just disappears into the wall!

Here's a few shots of how it looks now:

I love that my makeup and bath products now have a real home where I can access them easily. 

Here is how the list looks now, with links to the completed projects for you to check out:

• Add a piece of fabric to the bottom of my shower curtain
• Update the shower head
• Update the light fixture
• Change out the mirror
• Add some closed storage
• Add towel hooks
• Add some open shelving over the toilet
• Paint

So close to being done!  I think I may even have a lead on a new light fixture...the end is in sight!
