I keep a storage box labeled "Christmas Bathroom" filled
with all the little decorations that go on the glass shelves each year.
Most of them were collected over time from places like
HomeGoods, Michael's, Cost Plus World Market, and the late, great Pier 1.
Everything was chosen to match the shower curtain
Sam found on Walmart.com.
The Annalee Elves especially stood out– their quirky, modern
colors were perfect for her bathroom.
Their facial expressions and funny hand gestures make them
look like they're trying not to witness any of the "business"
happening in there, which still cracks me up.
Those, along with the mercury-glass tree,
were lucky HomeGoods finds.
The little church and house came from
World Market as ornaments, and the tiny pink trees...
I honestly can't remember where we got them.
They have that vintage-inspired look
even though they're fairly new.
The glitter-roof houses from Marshalls are actually gift boxes with removeable tops, but we use them as décor and store the trees inside during the off-season. Their colors match the bathroom so perfectly it felt meant too be.
The mini light-up tree (also HomeGoods) runs on a timer that glows for 4 hours every evening– one of those small details that makes the space feel extra cozy.
One of my favorite stories is from a year
when Sam went a coworker's Christmas party.
She casually mentioned how perfectly the host's
ornament wreath would match her bathroom,
and the host immediately took it off the wall
and gave it to her.
Sam thanked her a hundred times
–it was such a sweet gesture.
This year, Sam struck gold at HomeGoods again
with a set of towels covered in little trees and snowflakes.
She knew instantly they'd match her shower curtain.
I found the Nutcracker soap dispenser on a clearance endcap
at Target, literally in the back aisle of the store,
after Christmas – a total steal.
I just had to convince Sam that the red and pink
tones really did belong in her bathroom.
This tin sign came from Michael's
after-Christmas sale back in January 2020.
(apologies for this photo) Pictures of a lit light never want to cooperate.
The teal dear is plastic, the Santa is a tin ornament from Pier 1, and the pink deer
is a ceramic piece from Target.
A few years ago we picked up red bath rugs at HomeGoods
it's subtle, but they shimmer with sparkly red threads
when the light hits them.
It's not a huge Christmas makeover, but these
little touches bring so much cheer to the space.
They're also helping Sam catch the retro, 1950's
vibe she wants for the bathroom.
Thanks for stopping by
and Happy Hunting!
