Just a Touch of Design...My Upper Level Bathroom

It has been 5 years since we moved into this house and I am ready to start changing up a few things. Rule of thumb for totally redoing a room, including paint is every 7 years. I am just putting a few touches in here and there to give a change of scenery for now until I am ready to go full force into design. I found a few things while out junking a few weeks ago and decided to put them in my upper level bathroom.

Remember the white creamer and bowl w/silver trim? It turned out great on top of the cabinet above the toilet. (sorry about the picture being a little off center, I took at a slight angle so everything looks crooked in it, but they are not)



I originally had 3 clear canisters filled with cotton balls, bath salts, etc...The only thing that I was iffy about was taking down the old fork/spoon wind chime that I had hanging in the corner. With the large items up there, it was hard to see the chimes from the door.





This pic was taken from the doorway. Just to get you up-to-date on how I designed this room 5 years ago. The color of this bathroom is done in cappuccino and has black and white accents throughout. It has a hint of old Victorian (notice the 3 door keyholes on the skinny wall to the left across from the toilet) I chose this design because I absolutely love the style and color of the vanity (thought most would think it outdated) At the time, we were trying to redo the necessities in the house and this wasn't one of them since I was in love with the style and idea of decorating around it.

Remember the scale I got at the antique mall?




I have it sitting in between the sinks on the vanity next to my towel holder. Here's a closeup!





May as well throw in a pic of the other part of the bathroom so you can see all angles!






Those are antique soap ads framed on the wall. This is one of my favorite decorated rooms :)
