The Best Bathroom Wastebasket

Luv it! 💚💛💜
Never thought a new, simple, wooden trashcan could make me so happy and content 😁 

What's there not to like -- lidded, cute, handwoven, petite, lineable, unique?! My pets 🐾 cannot access the contents. Cover will keep waste items discreet and odors dampened.  The container sits regally on its "feet".  Wood-tone/rattan matches and complements our bathroom decor. Yay!

Get it soon. The wait time is longer, and the price for each has gone up by $30 since my purchase a couple of months ago

Bathtubs and MacKenzie-Childs, NY

 

A beautiful  MC-inspired bathroom was recently posted on the MacKenzie Childs blog.  My first thought was: Been there! I was personally at that said bathroom in 2019 during their last MC Barn Sale event.  See my pictures below.  So happy that Hubby had agreed to go out of his way after our Family Reunion in Canada.  

This year will be two years in a row that MC will not hold their annual barn sale. Darn you, Covid 19! 😕😠

Barn Sale 2021

After careful consideration, we have decided to hold our iconic Barn Sale only online again this summer to keep our customers and employees safe during these uncertain times.

For those who enjoy shopping MacKenzie-Childs in person, you can look forward to the launch of The Outlet in Aurora, New York, which opens in May. This store, which replaces the current store in Aurora, will be our permanent, full-time outlet and will stock the types of items that are historically carried at the Barn Sale.

To learn more details about the Online Barn Sale, including when it will be held, and The Outlet in Aurora, sign up for email updates or follow us on Instagram and Facebook. (by MC email)

Quiet Town Home: Bathroom Purchases

I am pleased with a couple of my purchases from Quiet Town Home -- an up and coming husband-and-wife team whose company is based in Brooklyn, New York. Take a look at their unique bath accessory products H E R E. 

My master bath renovation had me in need of some basic items:

To protect my tub's back wall and the floor, I purchased 2 of the Sun Shower Orient Phlox -- I love PINK!

... and a M E N D O C I N O bath mat, also in some pink.  My purchase supported breast cancer research and elicited a nice personal note on a postcard.

Bathroom Renovation: Shower Rod & Color-Blocked Curtain for Free Standing Tub

Other than out-of-the-ordinary tiles, shower curtains draw the eye in an otherwise typical bathroom. I had loved simple, cotton curtains in white or beige for the past few years.  Time for a change!

Here are my 2 inspirations for our recent renovations:

As much as I love my new pair of clear, color-blocked shower curtains, I plan to keep my beautiful cotton shower curtains from Anthro. They're not going to the donation bin just yet.

Trending: Bathroom Re-do Must Have

I didn't read the Domino Magazine article until after my bathroom renovation product choices had been made, but I  nailed it nonetheless.

Who would have thunk?! 

Your vanity is about to get a major upgrade. By: Anna Kocharian

As far as bathroom trends go, we've seen it all: Floor-to-ceiling tiles, concrete basins, and an array of paint colors that go on to inspire. But one decorative staple within the space has yet to see much of a refresh. Well, that is, until now. 

While it may be a commonly overlooked piece, it has the power to completely transform the aesthetic of the room. No, we're not talking about the tiling (although, some come pretty close) but, a more cost-effective swap that can really go the distance, design-wise. The item in question is the vanity mirror, and it's not your standard wall-to-wall piece or basic medicine cabinet. 

We've seen a major uptick of bathrooms decked with oval mirrors—a welcome departure from the standard square variety we've come to be accustomed to—and needless to say, the look exudes pure elegance.

Ahead, we look to the bathrooms, which have successfully carried out the trend with effortless ease plus, a handful of tips for how you can recreate the look at home. Take a look.

Only found one oval, jewelled mirror at my local Hobby Lobby store. Had to call several stores before locating another from over 20 miles away. Hubby was a doll for his willingness to drive there after a hard day's work. Also very happy about their 50% off clearance price.  Mirror is sold out.
