This series is documenting my husband and I’s projects that make our 1960’s home ours. Some are simple, and some are not! I hope you enjoy this post.
Hey there! Today, I’ll show you something I did to make my vanity area feel more like mine. Let me explain something about my house. When you walk towards the bathroom, you turn right and where the bathroom should be, you keep walking to the bathroom door. Before you hit the door, there’s a full on vanity area with a sink, large counter, and mirror. Then there’s a full bathroom on the other side of the door as well. It’s super nice because with only one bathroom in our home, I can get ready while my husband does without being in the same bathroom.
The bathroom is pinned for a major remodel (like paint is peeling off the wall and our shower has a nasty insert in it) that was supposed to happen this past winter, but with everything that occurred in January, it didn’t happen. But someday it will. The vanity will also be painted and have a little done to it, so these projects I’m showing today are to get by until we really fix the area up.
I made this canvas for the wall. The picture quality is a little poor because of the poor quality of light in the vanity area. Such is life. I got the saying from a Kohl’s clothing tag---for reals. I liked it, and thought that it could encourage me to get ready more often than I was with a demanding newborn. Well, nearly a year later, and I’m still only wearing makeup to church---oh well! I do have (more) cute clothes now, yay! (I started out with 2 shirts I would wash every other day…ya, great huh?!?)
I had this bulletin board from my craft room that was on the wall before the remodel. I got a paint sample from lowe’s along with some white that came with the house and painted this stripe design.
Here’s it all loaded up with my jewelry that I don’t wear because I have a grabby toddler around these days. At least I get to look at it when I get ready everyday, right? ;)
Thanks for reading! Have a great day!

Haha, That's so perfect. I know just what you mean about only having 2 shirts. Since I had Reli (3 yrs ago!) the only new clothes I've bought were a few jeans after having Corbin made my old ones pointless. Luckily I worked at Gap before having the kids, so I seem to have an endless supply of t-shirts. ;D
ReplyDeleteIt's a great idea to have your jewelry out where you can at least see it. Mine is all in a box in the back of our closet and I never even remember I own it!
