An Easy Fix

Here is some quick easy fixes that will add a fresh touch to your bathroom.  Shop around and you can find stuff at a very good price.

This is the kids bathroom.
Notice how a quick change of a shower curtain makes the room look much more grown up.
Sponge Bob - you have been a friend in the house for a long time, but I must warn you, your days of reminding the kids to wash up via the bath mat are numbered!  You will be replaced with a colour coordinating bath mat and waste bin. You'll just have to go bless some other kids with your friendly reminders.  LOL!

Here is the shower curtain before, fish, dolphins and whales everywhere:


Here is the shower curtain now:


My son had mentioned that he also wouldn't miss the little duckies that held the toothbrushes for so many years if I just so happened to replace the toothbrush holder too.

Toothbrush holder before and after.  See the little duckies swimming in the blue water at the bottom of the cup?  They have been with us for a very long time too. 


Now here is the cup that matches the shower curtain. 


Like those paper cups?  Ha, ha.  They were FREE!  We have so many of them to use up.  At my husband's work place they got rid of the water cooler and they were just going to throw these in the garbage, so my husband brought them home to use.  Why not?  Saves us having to buy bathroom cups for a long while.

Here is another quick fix I did.  Since we moved into this house 11 years ago, we have had these Tucker's Marketplace cups from the restaurant holding the toothbrushes in our bathroom, only because the cups fit into the holder on the wall.  Isn't it funny what you just don't notice after a while?  


And here it is....for only 98 cents each, some clear cups that fit the space and look much more elegant.  They are plastic, so they are durable enough and easy to care for. 


Steps to your own quick fix:
1. Take a walk through your house and evaluate if there are some things that could use a simple update without too much fuss.
2. Consider what will work better in it's place?  Does it need to be de-cluttered? Replaced? Repaired?  or simply washed?
3. Shop around.  Take your time and be on the look out and you will eventually find the perfect fix for the spot you want to improve.

Happy Organizing,

Cassie

  2. Thanks very much. I found the pattern and re-coloured it in my design program to the colours I wanted.
    I agree, the little things can make a big difference.
