Stylin' Master Bath Shelf

So a while ago,
(I know, I know)
I actually
FINISHED
a project.

It was the 1 hour bathroom shelf.
Remember?

On the next to bottom shelf?

You remember my mini succulent garden post right?

Well...

Let's just say that I almost fired my housekeeper

(yes, I have a housekeeper, yes she is afraid of my dog).

Not merely because I came home one Monday afternoon

to find that mini garden in smithereens in the toilet room

stomped on as if someone had to dance to save

their little tootsies (or paws, I suppose)

from the gunshots dancing off the ground around them.

(she only comes 2 times a month

for about an 1 hr...

really, it's about toilets. 

You know my thing about toilets)

No, this was about how I jumped to embarrassing conclusions

about how since she doesn't like Ashers

she MUST have locked her in that tiny toilet room

while she did her job

and FORGOT MY DOG

in said tiny room

for about 5 hours

Never mind that the one with no thumbs

is dumb clever enough

to get her skinny self behind the door

accidently shut it

and then squeal and scream for hours on end

when she can't get out

And of course tear up a year's worth of

costco toilet paper

and my mini succulent garden

while she's in there.

let's not talk about the toilet paper holder

that she ripped off the wall

in her wild fit of rage

over the indignity of being locked in the

toilet room all day long.

She's a fighter.  I would have passed out.

Anyhow.

I finally got around to re-styling that shelf.

With a little inspiration from the Pac Gal Auction House

where I saw this little cutie

I decided to actually stop hoarding

my sea shell collection

and actully display some of it

I hate the photography lighting in this dark corner of my house

There's a great little window that lets in just enough light

to give a prisoner hope she'll get out some day

And then an overhead light that is...well...sketch.

All said,

All I need on that shelf is a little plant

ie, the one from Crate and Barrel I pasted in there.

Alas, American Express isn't giving me any points to go shopping with

anytime soon.

They are probably still bitter that I went all the way around the world

on their points when I was a cardholder.

Then we jumped on to the next great card deal.

Given that we're one of those rare oddities (or used to be at least)

that annoyed companies by paying the bill in full each month

and jumping to the next great free flight offers when our old card

wouldn't give us anymore goodies.

All said, loving the Thank You Points I get now

(and so are Lowes and Home Depot where we redeem about 95% of said points).

But next time, Pottery Barn card.  I've seen some lovely sea goodies there

that will be on end of season close out soon enough.

Clearly, I have some shelf space to cover.

What do you think?

More wordy posts?

Or back to the short, sweet and simple?

I had a request to write more.

Like I did at b3Home Designs (Part 1)

Why the heck not?

Unless you beg me not to of course.
