French Apothecary Jar

February 28, 2011 by Aliesha

I recently saw a sweet French apothecary jar on etsy, and since I didn’t want to pay the $22 price tag, I decided to make one of my own!  It now resides in our pink (guest) bathroom.

You can make one too — it’s really easy! You just need a small jar (mine is from Goodwill and I’m sure I paid under $1 for it), some brown ink, some rubber cement or modge podge, and a graphic you like.  The Graphics Fairy has tons of lovely vintage graphics.  The label I used can be found here.

1. Clean and dry your jar thoroughly. Measure the size you want your graphic to be so it will fit on the front of your jar.

2. Select a graphic to use, and, using a word processing program, resize it and print it out.

3. Rub the edges of the label with some brown ink to give it a little more depth.

4. Using either rubber cement or modge podge, adhere the label to your jar.  Let dry.

Enjoy!

Pink Bathroom Wall Art

November 9, 2010 by Aliesha

I added a few framed pieces of art to my wall in our guest bathroom. (Vintage floral wallpaper came with the house.)

I downloaded the vintage art from Vintage Printable and framed it in wooden dollar store frames.

House Tour: Guest Bathroom

June 16, 2010 by Aliesha

I still have lots that I want to do to our guest bathroom (known to us as “the pink bathroom”), but I thought I’d share what we’ve done so far. This is the main bathroom that guests and overnight visitors use, since it is next to the guest bedroom and the living room. Eventually we would like to put a tall shelf behind the door that we can use for open storage of necessities (such as towels) as well as to display decorative items.

We inherited the pepto bismol pink tiling and the vintage floral wallpaper. I’ve tried to tone-down the pink a little bit by using a gold shower curtain, cream and gold towels, and cream rugs.
This room has lots of light

Love these towels (Better Homes and Gardens) from Walmart! Monogrammed washcloths were a bridal shower gift from my sister-in-law Stephanie.
The tub is perfect for relaxing!
