Just a few Holiday decorations for the bathroom

A garland of red glass berries. If you use these towels and disturb the garland, I'm going to have to hurt you.



Not so long ago I would never pair two shades of blue (blue and turquoise towels). But someone put those colors together, and I said, okay I can do that, but don't make me put red and pink together--no, no.



Stand back, take another photo of the bathroom.

The walnut dresser gets some snowmen. Most of the glitter is rubbed off these snowmen, and they look a bit worn. I keep thinking I have more snowmen, but I remembered major de-cluttering a couple of months ago with my friend Pam (A clutter policeman). She was ruthless with me, asking me when was the last time I used this and that, and finally I stopped whining and got rid of two car loads of boxes of magic stuff like snowmen I'd kept long after they were considered cute.



A close up photo of two snowmen who are serving their last Christmas sitting on the underwear dresser in the bathroom.



I bought this handsome walnut dresser at St. Vincent goodwill store. There were two similar dressers. I made a deal for one of the dressers, IF they were willing to give me two drawer pulls off the second dresser to make one dresser complete.



The hula skirt beads shade I purchased at a consignment shop for $15. It is a great look for a reproduction item, and I love the amber lighting--taking an evening bath in the clawfoot tub.



The white wicker rocking chair is used as often as the toilet. I'm not kidding. I sit in the rocker and put on my socks in the morning. And while I'm taking a bath, the rocker holds my towel.



A fancy basket to hold tp paper and favorite magazines.



The print is, "The Waldorf, 1930" by Rinesch. I first saw it in 2007. Admired it, laughed out loud seeing it, and bought the print knowing I'd put it in the upstairs bathroom (finished May 2009). What I didn't plan for, (dah) was the size of the artwork. I still love the piece, but it is too big for the space.

Many years ago I bought these bird curtain rod holders. I didn't know when or where I'd use them. Just liked them a lot. Glad I saved them; they look good here in the bathroom. Did you hear that Pam? I'm glad I saved them!



I love to decorate the house with birds . . . picking up on the blue herons etched glass on the front porch doors. I found 5 of these great bird hooks. Two are installed in the bathroom on the east and west closet doors, and two on doors in the east bedroom. The last one will go on the closet door in the master bedroom.



Final thought. The bathroom is looking good since we created it in May 2009, however like all the rooms upstairs--we are still lacking crown molding. In February I start the last room, actually the long 28ft. x 5 ft. wide upstairs hallway. After those walls are repaired, and painted--we'll move all the furniture round and round again in each room so we can install crown molding upstairs. Our work is never done, it seems.

I feel a song coming on . . . in every job to be done, there is an element of fun. You find the fun, and snap--the job's a game. And every job you undertake becomes a piece of cake, a life, a dream, its very plain to see, that a . . . . .

You finish the song. Come on, I know you know this one.
