Train Case

We have family coming to stay with us and I thought I would spruce up the bathrooms a little bit with some fun spa like ammentities for them. I painted this $1 train case on a whim with my paint sprayer awhile back. 

I needed to use up some paint in the sprayer and just looked around for something to paint and this was the first thing I saw.  It was an ugly orange-yellow color so I thought why not?  Then when I was looking for something to put the goodies in for the bathroom and couldn’t find anything, I remembered my train case!  The nice part is that  it has feet on it, so if the tub area was to get wet, it wouldn’t sit in water and rot the bottom out.  It did need a little something, so I made the flower out of left over material I had and hot glued it on.  The great thing about this little set up is that I pretty much shopped my house.  I have three grown girls, so they had plenty of brand new items sitting under their bathroom cabinets unused and unnoticed that I “borrowed”  them to put in the train case.  I used a dry eraser to write on the mirror, pretty lame writing, but it is the thought that counts right?

These cute little crystal bowls I found at the thrift shop.  I didn’t want to go the regular route and buy the off the shelf cotton ball and q-tip holders.  Plus this was way cheaper and I think more elegant looking. 

This bathroom is for the younger girls.  I just shopped my house for the basket to hold the new Restoration Towels I just bought on sale.  I even had the ducks left over from a party that I had used for decorations, gotta love it!  Gave all the girls their own shower gels, bath bubbles and lotions and put them on a mirrored tray I already had.  It has been fun to shop my house and hopefully make my guests feel a little special.
