My Girl Bath...At Last

My towel rack with Paulette Adams handmade ceramic cup, old Ralph Lauren crystal perfume bottles, a darling canning jar candle from The Vintage Market Place and yes Little Bo Peep and her lost little sheep. She's old but fit right in with the colors. I made this mirror about 10 yrs ago and still love it.

Time to paint the 80's oak cabinet! The rose stencil is from Creative Imaginations. I still need to put the glass knobs on.

2 mirrors are better than one, especially if it's a track house mirror! The one on the left has some old talc shakers from the 70's. Do you remember Tigress? A reproduction vintage ruler looked good here. The mirror on the right has toiletries from the Hotel Santa Maria Novella in Florence, A little reminder of our 25th anniversary trip.

The perfect bouquet, I rescued from the trash! An old display prop from my retail days.

Every bathroom needs a harajuku girl, don't you think? Especially if she's dressed in pink!

At last...my girlie bath. My son moved out last summer and I've been wanting to turn his small bathroom into my little girlie bath where I could just soak in all that girlie goodness. Now, I've never considered myself a pink person, but pink just seemed to take on a life of its own as I started adding things to it. I started with painting the walls a deep caramel. At that point I had no idea what my accent color would be. Besides the mirrors and faucet, I didn't buy anything new for this redo. I simply shopped from the rest of the house. Pink kept creeping its way in so I gave in and bought pink towels and rug. Why fight a good thing?

Spend the Day with Kaari Meng

Click to view French General website

Super excited about this event! just signed up at Stamp Your Heart Out in Claremont, CA. to spend the day with Kaari Meng from French General! Her line hasn't come in for purchase yet, but they had the entire line in all it's red and cream glory in the back room for me to drool over. The girls were busy making all the samples of the crafts and all I can say is OMG-WOW! These products are too yummy for words and I'm not even sure I can use them! I'm thinking I will frame a lot of it in shadowboxes in my guest room because the packaging is so amazing. Knowing Joan and her girls, this will be a gorgeous event, one you won't want to miss. We will be fed some of the best food in the village....no chains here! By the looks of the invite we won't go hungry! I was told Kaari won't be doing many of these events so I suggest you locals sign up now. There are only 25 spots available. I hope you'll join me in this amazing girly day!
