Choose EnvironmentallyFriendly Products:
Update your bathroom in anecofriendly way byconserving water.
A WaterSense bathroomfaucet cuts water flow by30%, to no more than 1.5gallons per minute.
Eco products are availableat all plumbing supplyhouses, including HomeDepot or Lowes.
Replace old showerheadswith lowflow versions andconsider switching the toiletto a dualflush model thatwastes less water.
There are various levels ofquality for the new lowflushtoilets. Toto makes afabulous toilet and has reallymastered this technology!
If you're taking out any largebathroom items (vanities,toilets, counters) considerrecycling them. Very often,someone is thrilled to takeyour old as their new!
Make SimpleOrganizational Changes:
Buy small drawerorganizers from Targetor the Container Storeand separate cosmeticsand beauty products bycategory.
Small drawers will makeit easy to rearrangewhenever you want tomake something moreaccessible.
Use a woven basket tohold several rolls of toiletpaper and tuck it in thecorner of the bathroom.
The woven basket willadd texture to the spaceand its ample toiletpaper supply will keep

guests from having todig around underneaththe sink!
Decorative jars makestylish hiding spots forpostshoweringessentials like qtips,cotton balls and combs.
I always try to find andbring in unique jars andcontainers to the shopfor this type of use! Create a Coastal Feel:
Collect starfish andseashells and layer themon the counter top andabove the toilet.
Put old wooden crates towork and use them asholders for toilet paperand rolled bath towels;anything wooden addsan organic feel to thebathroom.
Blue and clear glass jarsevoke a coastal calm andare great for storing qtips, tweezers, nailclippers and otherbathroom necessities.
Use fresh, cooling huesas a backdrop for yourbathroom. Creamybeige counter tops andaquamarine windowtreatments and bathmats will bring the effectof sandy beaches.
Paint an accent wall asoothing shade of blue whether that's maritime,sky or aquamarine.
Pebbled flooring in theshower will make anormal shower feelextrabeachy.
If you're feeling extradaring and/or luxurious,hire an artist to paint anoceanic mural on onewall.

A bathroom mural willbring an incredibleamount of complimentsto your space!
We have a couple oflocal artists we canrecommend for murals, ifthat becomes your plan!
Update On the Cheap:
New fixtures and knobsare the jewelry of youbathroom, and are superinexpensive to update!
Just choose a knob finishthat matches your towelracks and rings.
Towel racks and ringsare easy to install andcan pull togetherbathroom accessorieswith ease.
If you're feeling a DIYpulse in your veins, goahead and paint yourbathroom. A bucket ofpaint costs around $25and will change the lookand feel of yourbathroom dramaticallywithout emptying yourwallet.
Use a mildew ormoisture resistant primerto help seal the paint,and a gloss or semiglosspaint to follow.
Allow time for your walls todry before showering so thatyour paint can be moisturefree ask your paint supplierfor their recommendationbased on the paint you areusing.
Robyn Feeley just brought us a bunch of new paintingsfor spring!! They are whimsical and colorful, as herpieces always are! Prices start at $35 and go up to$125 for the larger ones with custom mosaic frames.
Last months artist reception for Michael Hirsh broughtso many wonderful pieces into our world!! We stillhave quite a few oneofakind ceramics that would
make for terrific gifts.
Make it a StylishSanctuary:
If updating bathroomfurniture, choose gildedpieces and classical lines.
Add in plants, candles andfresh flowers dropped inmercury glass vases.
Actually take some time tolight candles in yourbathroom each day (orwhenever you feel liketreating yourself!) thebeautiful glow will make yourshower feel entrancing.
Have a plush robe hangingfrom your door, ready to beworn.
Enhance the life of your barsoap by placing it on a layerof smooth stones. Theelevation will allow suds andwater to drain away quickly,while making your bar soaparea look spalike.
Make your long soaks in thetub even more luxurious byplacing bath salts, lushtowels and aromatic candleswithin easy reach.
Ah...it seems like it's time fora bath now!!
Love,
