bathrooms

Please use the OTHER guest bathroom

We have two bathrooms — both of which are equidistant from main gathering areas (kitchen and living room).

How do I politely or subtly let guests know which bathroom I prefer them to use?

Create a rustic shelf on the cheap and easy

A little while ago I introduced you to some awesome rustic-style shelving units. One smarty-pants Offbeat Homie Meg mentioned that she turned a shower caddy into the much cheaper version of ModCloth’s vintage-inspired shelf. Here’s how…

Small bathroom sinks that make a BIG impact

I have a super small master bathroom that doesn’t allow for a large sink. But just because it’s a small space, doesn’t mean that I have to settle for a boring sink. I’m on the lookout for a small bathroom vanity (no larger than 24″ wide) that worth me spending the dough.
