Lovely Loo

When it comes to interior decorating, bathrooms are one of most over-looked areas of the home.   Attention is always paid to kitchens and dining rooms, but bathrooms can also be places of stylish serenity and not just dumping grounds for used Q-tips and zit creams.

Farm vases, $1.99 each – I own three of these Jonathan Adler-inspired white vases.   I never feel pressured to keep them filled with flowers since they’re so pretty on their own.

Diptyque Figuier Candle, $60 – I like Diptyque candles for their classic design, fragrant smells and serious burning time.

Monique Round Tray, $60 – The vintage-inspired pattern and unique, circular shape make this the perfect stage for arranging little treasures.

Rosebud Salve, $6 -  I slather this soothing balm on my lips, but it also helps dry cuticles and is an excellent tamer for stray eyebrows.

Who’s the Fairest Mirror, $148 -  The brass twigs of this dainty mirror lend such a nature-inspired element.

Molton Brown Rose Granati Hand Wash and Cream, $25 – Usually rose-scented things are too sweet for me, but the combination of pomegranite, ginger and black pepper make this simply irresistable.

Silver Woods Canister, $28 -  This little jar is such a charming way to store odds and ends like cotton balls or earrings.

Marvis Classic Strong Toothpaste, $8.50 – Brushing your teeth is made all the more enjoyable with this fun tube of toothpaste in a dangerously minty flavor.

What do you keep in your bathroom to make it more inviting?

The vases sure look pretty! In a way, they remind me of my geometric watch – both are minimalistic but nevertheless striking.

Thank you for finding yet another way to indulge my obsession with Jonathan Adler-esque ceramics…and that mirror is such a trip! You’ve done a terrific job of recreating that C.O. Bigelow old-school apothecary feel. A beautifully edited selection!

i’m digging the mirror…a lot. i love having some really great hand soap, pretty magazines, and small jars for necessities (cotton balls, q-tips, etc). great round-up…rosebud salve, you can’t go wrong.

happy tuesday.

I wish I had space in my tiny bathroom for some of these things, particularly that mirror. I would have to take over D’s counter, though, and I’m not sure he’d be into it. : (

I love the little silver jar! So cute! You’re so right Emily – bathrooms are often forgotten. I’m always surprised to see a perfectly accessorized bathroom…it doesn’t happen very often. Have a great day! x

What a fantastic list! I like to have a plant (preferably a succulent) and these toothbrushes: http://basicfrenchonline.com/htm/product_info.php?products_id=161. I usually have some version of this lotion too: http://basicfrenchonline.com/htm/product_info.php?products_id=387

Im loving the mirror, the design is so comforting for bathrooms
im currently moving into a new apartment so my new bathroom is a splash of reds, purples and browns..
but my favorite decor is the purple canvas painting of a dragonfly..

i LOVE that marvis toothpaste. we have it on display in our bathroom although i always tell my boyfriend NOT to use it since it’s so pretty!

15 Courtney { 10.28.08 at 11:43 am }

I’m addicted to Rosebud Salve like nobody’s business!

16 dapper kid { 10.28.08 at 11:49 am }

I LOVE Rosebud Salve!!! And that mirror looks divine. I just have a plethora of scented candles and vintage perfume bottles in the bathroom :)

17 Nicole { 10.28.08 at 11:59 am }

19 * Fashion Dreamer * { 10.28.08 at 12:48 pm }

I love that mirror, not loving the price so much though…!

20 issa { 10.28.08 at 1:03 pm }

ooh love it all! though none would match my guest bathroom.. but definitely our masterbath! our guestbath is really the only one i ever focus on.. the only musthave for me is yummy smelling handsoaps and lotion in the bathroom.

21 Tara { 10.28.08 at 1:23 pm }

I have one of those vases sitting on my bathroom counter as we speak. So simple and pretty!

This post makes me want to tear out my bathroom and re-do it!

28 savvymode sg { 10.28.08 at 6:29 pm }

i put fresh flowers and candles in my bathroom along with l’occitane hand soap.

29 fashion herald { 10.28.08 at 8:18 pm }

i just recently discovered rosebud salve, love it!

30 Judy { 10.28.08 at 9:20 pm }

I use rosebud salve for my lips, cuticles, even on parts of my face when it gets really dry in winter. Love the bathroom ideas. Thanks, I’m actually updating my bathroom, and I’m loving the tray and the vases. They may be perfect.

31 candi { 10.28.08 at 11:14 pm }

I love everything, especially the vases. Thanks for sharing the links!

32 Iris { 10.29.08 at 1:34 am }

I have some of those white vases too :-) And, like yours, mine never seem to have flowers in them. That twig mirror is divine..

33 songy { 10.29.08 at 2:09 am }

Great title.. they are totally desirable. Rosebud Salve must be great but I haven’t had a chance to use it.. It’s not easy to get here.. when available they are way over priced in Australia, Dang.

34 sarah { 10.30.08 at 8:13 am }

GORGEOUS mirror!

35 The Lil Bee { 10.30.08 at 6:18 pm }

You have such fantastic taste, my dear:)

36 BudgetLexicon { 10.31.08 at 1:41 pm }

I totally have those vases in my bathroom. I bought them at Ikea – not sure if they are exactly the same. But pretty close! XO

37 Lauren { 11.12.11 at 10:35 am }

Love… EVERYTHING!
