Isn’t this pretty? Now, I know that this is in my kids’ bathroom, but since it’s also our guest bath I thought I could get a way with a little bit of shine here.
I picked up this simple white ceramic tray and this shiny cup at Ross the other day. Put them together with a couple of items from my cupboard and they’re ready to display.
This cute silver plate collapsible cup was my Grandma Mae’s. She used to carry it in her golf bag. I love having it out where I can see it because it reminds me of her.
This sweet silver baby cup belonged to my father-in-law’s younger brother. It’s engraved with his name and birth date, July 16, 1928.
I added a handful of dried hydrangea blooms to the Ross silver cup. I harvested these from our front garden last fall.
Now I’m happy with what I see when I walk past the doorway. The silver has lasted this long, hopefully it will stand up to my two kids!

When deciding upon bathroom vanities cabinets, it is singularly important to choose the correct height that would suit the user. If the bathroom is to be used by a child then tall bathroom vanities with highly placed cabinets will only add to the helplessness of the youngster. These kinds of high cabinets are perfect for the elderly who might have difficulty in bending.
ReplyDeleteAnother important consideration is of course the style of hinges that are to be utilized. If the cabinets are to be used on a regular basis by adults then fast moving hinges are the best choices, as they would facilitate the work much faster.
Unlike marble, synthetic and laminate countertops, granite countertops will not blister, scratch or crack; and they are very stain challenging. Get Bathroom Vanities for the complete makeover of your bathroom, which has been so prevalent in the last five years has seen it's peak. Of course, it will always be relevant as it is a natural product. Granite is next only to diamonds in stiffness. It is only the best work exterior obtainable. Its refined end will not wear off.
ReplyDeleteI think I need to change my accessories in my bathroom. I will replace it with that kind of accessories. I really love the way you make it so fascinating.
