1. Hide the Crest.

New shower curtain from the other Target I went to. Yes, I went to another one, and found more deals. I think I'm going to take the other one back~this one just fit the bathroom better. And the price? $4.87 Love it!

3. Something pretty
I thought our bird friend fit perfectly next to the eggs and grapevine balls.

4. Spa it up 
Towels
Aveeno bath bars in the jar on the right. Cheap and, oh so, spa-like (right?)

5. Lighting
I didn't do a lamp because of the cord issue and the fact that I only have one outlet in the bathroom and I have a wallflower in it. So I took some real cotton from our picking adventure and put it around a candle for my lighting.{check}
And another that I like to add in bathrooms:
magazines in a basket
Because, let's face it. Sometimes the only moments I get to myself are in the bathroom, so I take advantage of them and let my guests do the same.Now, in the sake of being real: the above pictures were taken during naptime. Here's what it looked like tonight after a whirlwind of baths and teeth brushing. I also think everyone needs a hot pink towel to wipe up bath splashes.
Thanks, Nester! You know I love you~
Wow - looks great! I love the shower curtain.
ReplyDeleteI so love that shower curtain! I may be making a trip to Target again tomorrow! I went today to find the little bird...but they didn't have any. What section did you find it in?
ReplyDeleteWonderful! Loving the soaps in the jar - I'm going to have to do that in my bathroom.
ReplyDeleteOh My Goodness! I love your blog and your bathroom. Trade me? I miss living in Albany, GA and seeing the cotton fields. It is a beautiful site. Decorating with cotton is beautiful. Great job!

I had that exact shower curtain! In fact, I bought three when they were $9. I thought I might just use the fabric, but ended up returning them. Now I want them again!
ReplyDeleteLooks great!
Love the glass jars with the soap, I'll have to copy that! Great job, very cute bathroom!
ReplyDeleteI love it! I especially love that you spa'd it up and then showed the photo of how your kids enjoyed that spa :) Way to keep it real and relevant, Melissa.
ReplyDeleteYour bathroom looks amazing! I love all of the apothecary jars! Great job!
ReplyDeleteJen
Wait! I went to Target to today and I didn't see any of that fantasticness of a shower curtain! Everything looks very inviting, Good job!
ReplyDeleteGreat room re-do! Love the spa look! So soothing :)
ReplyDeleteIt turned out beautiful. I love the real cotton. And the 'real' photo!
ReplyDeleteI came over from a comment you made on another blog(can't remember which one!)
ReplyDeleteJust wanted to say Hi!
Also your pictures were beautiful...but my favorite was the last one after that beautiful bathroom was used by all the fam!
Happy Thursday

My goodness, your bathroom is very spa like indeed! I'm going to have copy some of those ideas!
ReplyDeleteLooked very spa like-
ReplyDeleteGreat ideas in your bathroom. Our bathrooms definitely need some 10 minute help also...everyday!
ReplyDeleteKeep it real girl! Love that bathroom and my favorite part is that cotton around your candle! I want cotton! It's so pretty!
ReplyDeletewhere does one find real cotton?
hmmm.
ReplyDeleteapparently all one has to do to find real cotton is click on the link you so convienently added and travel to Texas and pick it!
Lucky!
So pretty. Love the apothocary jars, the shower curtain & your paint color.
ReplyDeleteOoh, I love it! You know, you could start up a "cotton sellin'" business, us northerners would pay money for that stuff!
ReplyDeletePS, love your music--I'm keeping it up while I"m leaving comments!
ReplyDeleteLove everything about it!
ReplyDeleteHow fun love the little touches- especially the cotton around the candle- sweet
ReplyDeletethanks for sharing.
Amazing bathroom..I love all the jars so much.
ReplyDeleteGreat job!

Came over from Nesting Place. Everything looks great! I especially love how you used the Aveeno bath bars. Putting them in the jar makes them very spa-y
ReplyDeleteI love, Love, LOVE your bathroom make over! You have definately opened my eyes to look for the potential of things! Thanks!!
ReplyDeleteHi- I love your makeover! It just turned out GREAT! I have a crazy question for you... I REALLY want that shower curtain if you haven't already returned it. I bought 6 of them and LOVE them. I am using them as curtains and I could really use one more. I can send you the money and enough for shipping too. I'll send you the pictures of what I've done with them... I LOVE Target sales! You've done a fantastic job!!!
ReplyDelete~Ashley
Oh so very spa-like! Great pictures and ideas. I especially like the "keeping it real" photo. We should all do a link party on THAT! I might just have to do that one day...
ReplyDelete~Misti
Great Job and I cant beleive the deal that you were able to get on that shower curtain. What color paint to you have on your walls, I really like it?
ReplyDeleteIt looks great! Love the shower curtain!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely room! Towels on the floor and all. :)
ReplyDeleteLooks fantastic! I love your cotton added to the candle!
ReplyDeleteLove the look of your bathroom - all the soft colors are perfect. You are one luck girl with that shower curtain! I tried to order one the other day and they are out! :o(
ReplyDeleteEverything looks lovely!
Sincerely ~ Tricia Anne
I love it-especially the cotton. Kimm's right-us westerners would buy those too! I love how it all looks together! Great job!
ReplyDeleteLove all the little 'details' ..bird, soap in the jar, etc. That shower curtain is AMAZING and what a SCORE of a deal! Love it. Oh and thanks for sharing it 'real' too. My daughter's bath (which is the guest bath) has clothes behind the door piled up! Ah, life with a teen.
ReplyDeleteAll your details are great! But I have to admit that my favorite picture is the one with the towel on the floor. That's real life and it's beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI have to share a funny story. I noticed YoYo Ma on your playlist on your blog. I have a son in first grade and I was going through his school folder. That day on the calendar his teacher had written Yo Yo Ma. His teacher is in her 50's and this struck me as very funny. I started to write a note back to her, "Yo Yo Ms. D!" and then I realized that was the title of the book he brought home that day. My hubby and I really laughed at that! The image of his hip teacher! Yo Yo!
Beautiful details! I love the real cotton around the candle. My favorite, though, is the pic with the towel on the floor. So real!!!
ReplyDeletethanks so much, everyone! Your compliments are making my day...
ReplyDeleteWendy~the birds are in the back in the garden section they are just putting out. It was right next to the Roundup, lol!
Ashley~I emailed you about the shower curtain
Leslie~too funny about Yo-Yo Ma! That made me laugh~my mom is a cello player~I'll have to share that one with her:)
queenbee~the paint color is Benjamin Moore Iced Marble lightened up~go to My Bathroom After Post to see details...
Love it!! I love the color and your shower curtain!
ReplyDeleteI love it! it looks great -but my favorite is the keeping it real part! :-) that's what my house looks like 99% of the time!
ReplyDeletevery pretty! i'm going to borrow your idea for the basket things in the drawer for our toothpaste/brushes.
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, let me say that I love your taste: you inspired me with your glass jars. Thanks for the great ideas! Love the cotton too... If you have enough, I've seen some gorgeous wreaths made out of those.
ReplyDeleteSecondly, thanks for your honesty about what happens when real life and our decorating afternoons collide.
The last photo might have been the best! Love how you kept it real! The bathroom looks beautiful!
ReplyDelete-Kim
That shower curtain is my fav. Can't believe you got such a good deal on it! Great transformation :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! The real cotton balls add a unique touch.
ReplyDeleteI think it's beautiful! I especially love the hot pink towel!
ReplyDeleteLooks great! Amazing what a difference a few details can make!
ReplyDeleteLove the phrase "spa it up".
Nice work! Great deal on that shower curtain, too! Love the last photo...life happens to all of us, doesn't it?
ReplyDeleteYou've been a busy mommy! I love your shower curtain and they way you pull everything together!
ReplyDeleteLaurel
Love it all! I seriously do. I can't believe you got such a great deal on that shower curtain!! I'm gonna have to head over tomorrow to see if I can find one! Great job!
ReplyDeleteOh, I love it all!! I have the same shower curtain and adore it!
ReplyDeletegreat job - so understand the "after" the bath pic...LOL
ReplyDeleteI have that shower curtain too! I love it! Mine was not the bargain you scored yours for, but I didn't pay full price either.
ReplyDeleteLove the starfish in the jar (can't spell uh-paw-co-thair-ee today, lol). Great job.
ReplyDeleteNote to Nester ... c'mon out to Bakersfield if you want cotton bolls, we have billions in the early fall. And so does the Phoenix valley in AZ. Cotton beats snow, every time ;-)
Victoria :o)
It all looks great and I am jealous of all you great finds! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteWow, your bathroom looks amazing! And thanks for sharing the after/after picture, too!
ReplyDeleteOne can find some terrific finds at Target.
ReplyDeleteso i just tried to leave a comment and something weird happened.
ReplyDeletehere's to another try....
i LOVE your shower curtain! I redid my bathroom a few months ago in these very SAME colors and it was SO hard for me to find a shower curtain that i absolutely LOVED! But i'm totally lovin' yours!
Maybe i'll make a trip to the Target here and see if i can find anything.
LOVED YOUR 10 MINUTE CHANGES!
loving the bathroom...simple and cute! Love the glass jars...I want to get some of them.
ReplyDeleteYour bathroom is so beautiful! I love those glass jars- got to get me some of those. Maybe my kids won't break them...
ReplyDeleteYou did a beautiful job! I am a little concerned about the cotton - if you light the candle, you could be inviting a fire hazard. Stay safe.
ReplyDeleteHi Melissa! I'm having a giveaway for one of these shower curtains, and I linked back to this post. Let me know if that's not okay.
