Make this Jack Daniel’s soap dispenser
What a lovely way to reuse those liquor bottles: slap a pump dispenser on the top and VOILA! Frothy Jack Daniel’s soap dispenser, for some perfect clean-hand hair-of-the-dog action. Oh and of course you can buy one on Etsy for $20, if you’re not feeling crafty.
DIY shower curtain: draw a squid on it!
The moment I saw Lara (of “geeky love” wedding invitation fame)’s DIYed squid shower curtain, I just HAD to get my tentacles on it for Home. Not only did she let us feature it, but she gave y’all an awesome hand-drawn how-to. Cuteness ahoy!
Italian treehouse with the peekaboo bathroom
Sometimes I take virtual vacations via Airbnb, and often find myself in some of the coolest spots imaginable. This time I journied to the heart of Tuscany to find a treehouse called The Black Cabin with the sexiest bathroom shower stall setup I’ve ever seen.
Great idea of the day: Use bottles and jars to organize your necklaces
I know your always looking for new and efficient ways to store your jewelry. We’ve featured a lot of jewelry displays, but what if you don’t want to keep all of your jewelry out, hanging up, etc. This great idea comes from Becky who uses bottles to separate and organize her necklaces.
Puerto Rico’s unobtainable bathtubs
Last month I took a press trip to Puerto Rico to tour destination wedding and honeymoon venues (full Offbeat Bride post coming in a couple days!). It was a lovely trip, but I was keenly aware that many of the venues we were touring were TOTALLY out of range for 99% of my readership. We’re talking $3000/night hotel rooms, $15,000 ballrooms, etc.
Rather than get frustrated, I decided I would start taking photos of some of these lovely venues’ beautiful bathtubs so that we could all admire and be inspired. Most of these tubs are not in places most of us can afford, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t amazing!
ZOMG Smells now has ZOMG SOAPS!
Do y’all remember ZOMG Smells from when we talked about them last fall? Well, I just happened to get my hands on a few samples of their brand spanking new ZOMG SOAPS. Needless to say, these soaps smell amazing — with names like Baby Unicorn Party and Dr. Zomg’s Superlative Polytonic Mira-suds, you know they’re at least going to smell interesting. But even better, SOME OF THEM ARE SPARKLY.
Come with me as I do my detailed testing right here in my bathroom.
