A Place to Primp & Preen (Sweet Daughter's Bathroom)

Hi everyone! Thanks for the "blog stop!" I had hoped to share this post at some of the parties last week, but my computer finally gave up the ghost and quit on me. (Do you think it's because it was from 2002??! Well, I am up and running with a brand new beauty, so I have gone from Flinstones to Jane Jetson! Hopefully this will allow me to post more frequently, because I have a bunch to share. So here goes - today I am sharing my daughter's bathroom.  Lucky her, she has her very own - would have liked that when I was growing up for sure!

The view as you enter. Just love the metal towel bin I found at Home Goods. The black rug is a recent Wal-Mart find. I like the jolt of color! ( although black isn't really a color, lol!)

 

 

Fun Hello Kitty soap in a footed silver bowl.

Tins were a steal at $1.00 each at Michael's on clearance !

I have had this German pitcher for years! Goes way back to my mauve and country blue days in the early nineties! Just can't part with it.

The little birdie is a nod to my daughter's sorority, Zeta Tau Alpha. Their symbol is a crown.

Lastly, we have a few cute shoe prints, because what twenty-something girl doesn't love shoes? 

My daughter is away at school most of the year, but she still enjoys coming home to this space.

Wishing you happiness,

Jane

Tumbler O'Toole

Happy St. Patrick's Day everyone!  I woke up this morning to a beautiful bouquet of green spider mums, a card, and shamrock jewelry from Mr. Bluebird.  What a nice surprise!

When we were first married, Mr. Bluebird gave me the cutest little Hallmark leprechaun called Tumbler O'Toole.  Just a plastic little guy, but he has always found a special place for St. Patrick's Day in our home. 

 No blarney folks - he is in a cloche this year!  My decorating styles have changed (and changed and changed!!) in the past 30 years, but it is always comforting to display some of the special "constants" in our home.  He probably cost all of $1.00 back in 1982, but I just love him so much.  He is one of those treasures I would not sell at any price.

We will be indulging in some corned beef and cabbage this evening (and perhaps a green beer - we do live in Wisconsin after all!). But first, we are continuing our work on the bath re-do and hopefully spending some time outside and enjoying the record breaking warmth - temps are supposed to push 80 degrees today. Hope you all have a wonderful St. Paddy's day!

Wishing you happiness,
Jane
