My Secret Cupboard

This is by far one of my favorite projects to date.  I am so so happy with how this turned out!  This cupboard is so functional, and yet such a bit of decorating eye-candy. 

I wish I had "during" pictures to go with this post, but this was before my days of blogging.

So, here's my tiny bathroom.

And here's my solution to finding more storage for this bitty space.

I simply used the space between the 2 by 4's in the wall, to create this one of a kind medicine cabinet.  While we were building our home, I took pictures of all the walls (after the electrical work was done), so I would know if there were any wires back there.  Just in case of projects like these.

I cannot tell you how much I love having all these little cluttery items hidden away!  I also love how the painting is the perfect disguise for the cabinet.  Such a great alternative to the standard mirrored-pop-out-of-the-wall medicine cabinets.

 I wanted to go with something neutral so when I redecorate,
this will always fit the color scheme.

Shelf Above the Potty

Searching to find the perfect something to put above the toilet, I remembered I had this old shelf I had picked up from a yard sale.  It was super dusty, the cute wire grids were falling out, and it needed painted.  But it was well worth the effort, because I love the end result.  It also gives me a place to display some fun things I have found at, yes, yard sales.  The plant and black and white frame where given to me.  Other than that, this whole thing (including the shelf) cost me around $10.

Adding this shelf, with all accessories really changed the feel of the whole bathroom.

Scrabble sets are another thing I am always on the look out for when I go to yard sales.  I got each set for around 75 cents. This jar holds 3 sets.  I thought they would take up more room, but it turns out each set really doesn't have too many tiles.  My secret, I put a paper bowl in the bottom of the jar to take up more space.  I covered the bowl with the tiles, and you can't even tell it's there!
