mirror(s) mirror(s) on the wall

I hung these mirrors in the bathroom today. I've been sidelined with a back injury so have not been able to do the painting I had planned. bummer!

The wall that these mirrors is on will be home to the ladder type towel rack James is building for me.It will look something like this:

I found this here

I'm going to paint mine white....

It will fit perfectly between the wall and the tub- especially since it will be custom made!

ah, there is Penny, our photobombing dog!

pretty pen cup

I decided to take a break from bathroom painting and whip up a quick pen cup. Th is is about the easiest and cheapest craft out there. Take a clean glass bottle (this one had cherries in it) and some paint (this paint is leftover from the chicken coop)

see how Penny is always photo bombing me?

Pour a bit of paint in the jar and swirl it around to cover the sides. Hang it upside down to dry. I used a clamp and then hung up up over some grass, since paint will drip out. When it's dry you've got  your color on the inside of your vase/pen cup/whatever holder.

How cute and easy is this?

touch ups in the bathroom

This morning I decided to complete the touch up painting in the bathroom that I've been meaning to get to for about 11 months. Poor James. This is how he spent is 7am on Saturday:

James in the tub!

whenever I see this paint I think of that song "divine thing" P.S. this is a Portland company. Shop local!

note the dots. It's a a style (design?) element I have throughout the room

bathroom curtain

Since we don't have any neighbors, I'm not very concerned about window coverings. In fact, I'm not into them. I wanna see the great outdoors. Especially when I'm taking a bubble bath! That aside, I felt it was time to put up a simple curtain (we have not simple ceiling and crown molding, so I didn't want the entire room complicated).
I chose muslin fabric because it's super thin and lets the light in. I wanted to have dots, to follow the style element of dots we sorta have going. I could not find any fabric that fit my needs so I decided to paint the curtain myself.
Lotta Jansdotter has a cool book of stencils that I used. It's a quick and easy process:

fabric paint- I mixed black and white for the perfect shade

and here it is!

I'm happy with how it turned out and how simple it was to do. Ok, what's next.....

its time to organize!

I am attempting to organize and downsize. I have a tiny house and its too cram packed with s.t.u.f.f. Take my bedside table, for example. See how  much stuff was stacked on a tiny table? (not pictured are the lamp and alarm clock)

so: 9 magazines, 6 books, 1 nook, a card from james, 2 book marks, a watch, some lip balm, and 33 pony tail holders. whew

I don't think anyone needs the sheer volume of reading material that I had going on there. And t.h.e.r.e were all the hair ties I couldn't find! Feels good to get this stuff put away! Now, on to the closet.....
