Bathroom Prettys
I found this lovely bowl and even lovelier bar of Mistral soap at one of my favorite stores, Anthropologie. This combo also makes a great gift. Or you could fill the bowl with some tasty treats and wrap it up in a pretty vintage tea towel.
I could not resist this sweet shower curtain I came across at the discount store, Ross. A great place to bargain hunt, especially for housewares. I paid just $5.99 for it and I also picked up a Laura Ashley sheet set for only $17.99. I used those as my backdrop for the first picture, I really love the delicate textile design of both. I also love how the green adds a wonderful glow to my tiny bathroom.

Isn't Ross such a great treasure hunt?
We don't have a Ross around here but MAN, I love that shower curtain and *love* a good bargain!
Lara, Just wanted to say how I LOVE getting your emails. They brighten my day, and I eagerly open each one, knowing I'll see something beautiful. I'm very glad you are a friend of Raymond & Tom, otherwise I wouldn't have known about you and you amazing work!
That shower curtain is fab...you can't help but smile when you look at it :-)
Yes, the trevails of a tiny bathroom. Nothing I can do makes it look better. Hmmm...maybe I will try shopping at Ross.
Beautiful. I love my Mer de Sud soap I have in Almond...a little treat every time I wash my hands. Also, is that an Icart I spy back there? I have a couple repro prints too, love him.
No, it is actually by Claudius Chanel, a french artist from around the same time. I found this vintage print dated 1938 and signed for $5 at an estate sale. Since it is just signed Chanel, I thought maybe Coco Chanel!
I just discovered a very similar duo of prints for sale on http://cgi.ebay.com/Chanel-Print-1934-Sexy-Woman-Dog-Art-Deco-Print_W0QQitemZ190273453707QQcmdZViewItemQQptZArt_Prints?hash=item2c4d2e7e8b#ht_993wt_847" rel="nofollow">eBay for just over $200. Not as much as a signed Icart print but still a good return on my investment!
I love your bathroom. The color combo is so nice and soothing.
