I thought today I would share with you more photos of my bathroom. Phil and I were out shopping yard sales last summer. We made a stop at one sale and I purchased a few items, can't remember now what they were. As we were leaving we noticed a box that had free on it. I peeked inside and seen a bag of Christmas lights. Well you can never have enough of those, so I snatched them right up. When I got in the van I noticed an odd string of lights. hmmmmmmm!!! What is this? It was a short string of plastic pink roses that lit up. Now, these have been in the box since last summer. I thought maybe I would use them in a craft project or for a wreath. While redoing the bath I pulled them out of the closet. My first thought was to hang them around the mirror, but I didn't like the look.
Here is what I come up with, like it????

The plaster bowl was another yard sale find. The smaller bowl next to it was found at a thrift store. It was a silverplate dish with really bad silver loss, so I painted it white and pink and added small rose buds. It's the perfect size for hand soap.
Here are a few more photos of the bathroom. Little splashes of pink all around. I don't think I've purchased anything in this bath at a retail store with the exception of the shower curtain (Purchased at Home Goods). Most were yard sale and thrift store purchases.

Notice the iron plant stand? I paid $7 for it at a yard sale. I had it outside for a while, but decided to bring it in to the bath. I put lotions, soaps and sprays in the top and magazines on the bottom, undecided on what to put in the middle. Some rolled towels maybe? Any suggestions?
The table was purchased last year at the 31W yard sales. I paid around $10. I gave it a shabby redo. Painted it pink and lightly distressed. The bucket underneath is actually an old ice cream bucket painted in a sage green color with pink roses on the front (yep I painted it)I use this to hold extra rolls of toilet tissue.. I purchased one rug on Ebay and the other at a thrift store. (I've got some ideas for a painted floorcloth in this area). Photo of the second rug below.
Have a happy day

You have a pretty bathroom. I love the rose lights, theyre so pretty.
Great finds too.
Happy Pink Saturday and thank you for stopping by earlier.
I just bought a white half-moon table very similar to yours. Mine has a bottom shelf. I'm going to stencil on a pretty design as soon as I can find the time. Your blog is wonderful. Happy Pink Saturday!! ♥

Excellent redo! I roll washcloths and put them out in baskets. I get the large package (heavier ones) at Costco or Sam's in white (because they bleach). My washcloths never "match" my towels. I have a table like that with a bottom shelf in mahagony. I'm not ALLOWED to paint it! So it sits, brown and shabby with pine furniture looking lost! Love yours all painted up pretty. Thanks for sharing. Happy Pink Saturday!
Happy Pink Saturday. Wow what a cleaver idea, I love it!

Pink Saturday is one of those times that I indulge myself and my ♥ of the color pink. Today your blog helped to fill my pink-a-licious desire. Thanks so much!
Hi Kris :)
Very cute bathroom! I love all the touchs of pink.
Your kitchen is darling too! That contact paper really made a difference :)

Cute bathroom, love all the pink and the rose lighted bowl.
Your bath is so pretty Kris. I love the rose lights in the bowl. I put Christmas lights in a vase at Christmas time in my bath too!
Kris, the redo is just beautiful and I love what you did with the lights. I bet at night it is breathtaking with the pink hue. Happy Pink Saturday and great job, Char
Great finds. I can't wait for yard sale season to start here, they are so much fun. I'm planning to have a small one myself in a few weeks, spring cleaning has yielded unnecessary stuff, stuff, stuff. Have a Happy Pink Day!
Kris this is funny. I had those same lights. I found them at a garage sale last summer. I thought, I will use them somewhere...well I put them in my tree outside and they lit up my pretty tree all summer long. They had a little orangey tinge to them and were great when Halloween came around. They finally gave up the ghost and started breaking up.
You just gave me another ides for my iron plant stand...going in my bathroom.
thanks for the idea.
I know long story but I had to share it with you.
Happy PS
Love Claudie

Hey Kris,
How talented you are!! Love what you did with the table and the wire baskets. How about some small samples of shampoo, bath gel, and lotions in the second basket?
Did not participate in "Pink Saturday"...we were having an Open House and I needed the time to get things ready.
Kris
Oh you are a true treasure seeker. So pretty!
i love it.
oh, how i love a good yard sale.

Oh my word...what a great idea....I am always seeing little strings of lights that have the neatest things on them and I never would of thought to make a sweet soft light like that...that is perfect for a little night light in a bathroom..oh I am stealing...uh...borrowing this idea girl!!!! That is just perfect! Thanks for coming by and I hope you are having a great week so far!
Looks like a very comfy, homey bathroom, the kind I like. And I really do like the lit up flowers in that pot. What a good idea. I'll bet it looks really cool at night!
The rose do light up very pretty at night. I tried to get a photo, but it didn't turn out good.
Need a new camera and some photograpy lessons. :)
Kris, You have been a very busy little bee, buzzing around your home doing all kinds of projects. Your ideas are great. I like the rose lights, and I bet it does look nice lit up at night, very romatic! Good deals on your finds too! Being creative is so much fun..
Enjoy your day-
Love the lights in the bowl. LOVE yard sales.
