Small Bathroom Makeover

You know how in magazines you see pictures of these big, beautiful bathrooms with designer finishing touches and shimmering tile? Guess what? None of those are my bathroom. Here are a few things I did to make my tiny bathroom a little more efficient.



I painted an accent wall a bright blue to give it a splash of colour without making the whole room too dark. I didn't want it to seem as small or smaller than it is, so I also put up a large mirror on the wall parallel to the accent wall.  The mirror really helps to elongate the space.

I hung a towel rack over the tub so that I'd have space for towels and facecloths, instead of just tossing them over the door or laying them on the side of the tub. This really cleaned up the room. I also organized all of my soaps and tubby time things into a basket instead of just having them strewn along the side of the tub. This makes cleaning up a lot easier.

Basically what I did was clean up the room and organize it more efficiently.



I put in a medicine cabinet instead of a regular mirror to help with storage and clean up clutter. Then, using a white board and magnets, I made a makeup board to help organize my very messy makeup collection.



Last, but not least, I organized my cupboard. The clutter that used to be in here was overwhelming. I used to dread opening the doors, but now that it's all clean and organized, it makes the room seem bigger and more orderly.

I know this was kind of a boring post, but I'm always curious to see how people organize, so I thought I'd share!

Hope everyone is having a lovely day!

Hugs and poops,

My White Whale - Office Edition

I'm messy.

I also love collecting things, taking things apart and I get distracted easily. All of these things mix together to make the perfect storm that hits my house on a daily basis. My office and my bedroom are the two worst rooms; the office because I have way too many crafty hobbies; and the bedroom because that's where my clothing explodes every day.

Today I tackled my first white whale: the office!

At several points I must have looked like a confused toddler, sitting in the middle of the room, surrounded by piles of 'organized' things, trying to figure out where to go from there. There may or may not have been some silent weeping at various times. Oh, did I mention that when I start cleaning I lose my patience very quickly? Or that I transform from a tiny woman to an angry bridge troll who foams at the mouth? I didn't? Hmm.

But I did it! It's actually a workable space now, and I even made space for future piles of things (I'm being realistic).

Tomorrow we're suposed to be getting a huge snow storm (60 cm of snow - eep!), so I'll be trapped inside with no escape from cleaning the bedroom. I sure hope Boyfriend is ready for Bridge Troll Nichole 2.0.

Happy Wednesday everyone!

What are your white whales?

Hugs and poops,
