Using Shelves and Baskets to Organize your Bathroom Accessories

Do you have old baskets in the shed you are thinking about putting in the yard sale or garbage? Stop; you can redecorate the baskets. Redecorating the items is easy, which you can create an organizer for your bathroom. In addition, you can fill in wasted space giving you more room to store other bathroom items in your cabinets.

Did you put some old shelves in the yard sale? Did the items sell, or do you still have them? If you still have the items, pick a wall that you need to do something with in the bathroom and gear up that creative mind.

Of course, you will need to re-paint the shelves before creating your organizer. You can choose any type of paint, including flat paints. Spray the shelves, let dry, and spray paint the shelves again. If the wood is damaged, chipped, etc, you may need to sand first.

Enamel ceramic, or whatever paint you may have under the cupboard will work for this. After the shelves are dry, give them a good look over and decide if they are too plain or do you want to add something more to them. Remember don’t overdue it.

When choosing your colors and shades, be sure you already have a theme so they will match what is already done, you don’t want to waste your time. If you want more color to your shelves, use another color and stamp or even draw a design on it, painting it to your desired color.

The shelves are good and dry so now mount them on your wall where you want. I like to skater them so they aren’t all in a row. A lot depends on how much room you want to use for this project. Once you have decided on the area and the order you want to mount go ahead and mount them.

Now you have created extra space and need to put something attractive on them. Remember again here you need to be creative using baskets can be fun. Baskets come in many different sizes; shapes and colors so set them on the shelves placing the sizes and shapes wherever you like. We have the baskets picked out that, we’re going to use so be creative again and decorate them. Baskets are nice to use because they are easy to clean, just wash them with warm soapy water and let dry. The moisture in the bathroom is good for them it helps keep them from drying out.

Don’t like the color of these old baskets let’s decorate them now. You can paint baskets and decorate just like you did your shelves. Go ahead the paint won’t hurt and when finished just get the clear color spray can out and spray them to set the colors in. Got the baskets painted and they are to plain; set back onto the shelves and see where and what you want to add to them next. You can stamp and put stickers on baskets too just like you did your shelves so think and be creative with them. Make your wall something for people to talk about and be proud of all the hard work you’ve done with your time.

The shelves and baskets are done now so what are you going to do with the baskets. Don’t worry you can fill the baskets with a variety of items to clear up space in your cabinets. Use one of your newly decorated baskets for all that nail care stuff you have in a bag in the cupboard.

The Bathroom Accessories that make you relax

Do you have a couple of rooms upstairs away from everyone that is being used for storage? Want to do something different and have a place to relax. I have some ideas that might help you with your new project.

Put a large sliding glass door between the two rooms. In one corner, two steps up set your extra large tub. How about add a skylight in the ceiling to let in the daylight during the day and the stars at night. Don’t forget to add mirrors around you tub with lots of candles on the ledge. Candles are so pretty reflecting off the mirrors. Maybe you might want more light so put one or two fancy light fixtures on one wall or in the ceiling.

If you have a large bathroom, why not install a fireplace on the opposite side of your glass. A fireplace will add more of a romantic and relaxing sensation to your rooms. On the ledge add some more candles and maybe put a picture over them to go with your theme.

Always chose a theme before you start your new project. Having a theme will help you to choose your colors and the mood you want to have when enjoyed your time.

You can also install a large cabinet at the end of your sink. Set a microwave and mini-fridge in it. You’ll need something to keep that wine cold while your relaxing.

Have another space in the extra bathroom. Set a chair in it to sit while putting on your lotions. You’ll want a lot of lotions and oils along with some smelly bubbles to help you relax and set the mood you are in. Remember they should all be the same scent so that the smells all drift from one room to the next.

When choosing your carpet be sure to get a natural color you might want to chance you color later on and not the carpet. The sink, counter, stool and tub should all match too but try not to have the same colors as your flooring. To much of one color will make the your room dull and not exciting to be in. It will also make you depressed sometimes if everything is the same color. So, mix and match. When choosing your tile make sure it is small maybe 1x1. The small the tile the less change you have of slipping when getting out of the tub and down the steps.

Like to read and relax at the same time. Set a basket near the chair and lay some outdated magazines in it. Get yourself a bath pillow to fit one end of the tub and a magazine pour in the bubble with a glass of wine and read. Sound cozy doesn’t it.

Be creative when organizing your new bathroom. Set a plant on a stand or even one corner of your tub. With the skylights, they will get enough sunlight and the moisture is good for them too.

Have more space and don’t know what to do with it. Put a towel rack in to put those entire special and fancy towel and washcloths you have in the cupboard. Fancy towels always make a person feel special along with all the oils and bubbles.

Once you have all your bath accessories organized and put away get that fancy and comfortable sleepwear you’ve always wanted and use it only when your in your own special rooms.

Putting lotion on and your new sleepwear will make the final relaxation come to and you can than sit back and enjoy the new you. Have fun and enjoy.

That Bare Wall Benefiting from Bathroom Accessories

How to fill in the blanks with rubber stamps:
Is there a bare wall in your bathroom? Is the wall bare so that you cannot find a theme to match? Have you considered wallpaper, yet nothing seems to fit? Why not put your creativeness and ideas to work and make your own wallpaper design. I bet no one else will have one like it.

Before you get started, decide what you really want to put on a bare wall you are trying to cover. Make sure you are creative and try to use the same theme you are working with, such as birds. This can be done in any room of you house where you have a wall and want to do something different.

You’ll need to shop around and find some rubber stamps or stencils; you can even draw the design if you want. The rubber stamps, stencils, all of these things can be found in the craft department of most department stores. Be sure to grab the brushes you’ll need; the variety pack of brushes is nice since you have different sizes and styles all in one.

Usually in the same department you’ll be able to purchase the paints you’ll need, use ceramic paint, it comes in many colors and shades to accommodate your needs. Clean up is a breeze just using warm and soapy water to clean up the paint to change from one color to another is all you need to do.

Whenever doing a project like this, you should do it twice to be sure you have the right design and colors that you’ll want to use. If you need more stamps or stencils just go to another department store, wherever craft supplies are sold, they all sell different ones. Cover the area that you are going to stamp on with freezer paper. The paper you can buy wherever groceries are sold, usually in the meat department. When putting up the paper just stick a thumbtack on the corner and a few places in the center to hold it in place.

Now you are ready to make the first copy of your wall project. Go for it and start stamping away.

It is hard to place everything so they are exactly spaced but don’t worry you can fill in those empty spots later. When going from one color to another, if the colors are going to touch make sure that the first color completely dries? When finished, let dry and look at it for a couple of days to make sure this is what you want. Then go on to the permanent design.

How to remove the paper?
Now you’re ready to do your wall, taking down the paper carefully so you don’t forget your color combinations. Keep it for a pattern to work from. Remember no two projects are the same. That’s the fun of the whole project; no one will have one like it.

Paint your wall in the color of your choice making it a light color to match the colors you are going to stamp on it. Using your pattern, you have set aside; start stamping again on the original wall. Again, make sure each color is completely dry before stamping another color so they do not touch each other. If do not like the pattern you’ve done just fill in the spaces with something else or add a new color somewhere. No matter how many times you use this technique you’ll never be able to do two projects the same. This is the tactic known as creativity.

Take a bath and relax with Bathroom Accessories

Bath time can be the most relaxing and enjoying time of the day. There are so many different things that you can use when relaxing in that big garden tub of yours. Lets talk about some of the things that can make your bathing more relaxing and enjoyable.

How to relax:
Your bathtub can be a major part of your relaxation time. There are many different kinds of tubs out now to fit everyone’s needs. Most people have standard size tubs for one person, they can be very relaxing too, just add some things around it to make it what you like. Fill up the tub with your favorite smelly bubbles or relaxing oils. The hot water and all those bubbles around you make you feel special and important.

How to create a romantic atmosphere in your bathroom:
Do you like getting romantic in the tub? Try the garden tub it is a good one for small areas and large enough for the second person to join you. Garden tubs are nice when they are sunken into your floor area. Box the tub in and install a music system into it. Music is always relaxing to everyone. Turn the music on a good easy listening music channel or insert a CD into it, maybe an mp3 player too. Garden tubs and music is just one type of tub to spice up your day.

When installing a tub for romance and relaxation be sure to think about where you’re going to install it and the sitting around it. Your décor means a lot when you’re trying to relax and enjoy the surrounding area. Choose a room away from the master bedroom where you can be away from everything and just be alone. Before installing your tub, decide on a theme and how you’re going to fill in the empty spaces. Take one end of the room and put up a wall to make a place for the stool and a shower separate from your tub. Putting the sink in the same room with the tub is ok, since you can color and coordinate the colors to both rooms to match the bedroom.

Put mirrors around your tub; box the tub in putting inserts at one end for that glass of wine you might want to have while relaxing. Add candles so when they are lit they can glow into the mirrors. Sounds romantic doesn’t it.

Install Garden tubs with jets in it. Jets are a good way to get that massage you’ve been wanting. Some of them even have heaters connected so your water doesn’t get cold. Be careful not to fall asleep and drown in there it can be done so don’t stay in there to long with the jets on they can make you to relaxed. Again, don’t forget to add the mirrors and candles.

Put a chair decorated to match your theme in one corner where you can sit to dry off and add that lotion you might have for your feet. After relaxing in that tub, you need to smell good afterwards. A little bit of body lotion goes a long way. Match your lotion smells to go with the oil you’ve used to take the smells with you when you’re done. Body lotions are affordable; as well, you can find coupons, deals, sales, clearances, etc online to help you save money.

How to find oils, bathtubs, candles, lotions, and more:
Check out the department stores; maybe go on line to check out the candles, lotions, and your oils. Try different smells and enjoy.
