The Ladies Room

Renovating any room always seems like a huge project. And I like projects that can be finished over the weekend, preferably in a couple of hours. So updating my bathroom was a perfect project.

We have two bathrooms and mine is the smaller one. I can take as long as I like when doing my make up, and A never has to be confronted with girly things like make up and tampons.

Tin sign from San Francisco.

I found this tin sign in a souvenir shop in San Francisco.
I don't like all the Coca Cola merch that can be found all over the place, most of it is tacky and I don't like the taste of Coca Cola.
Dr Pepper is a different matter.

Upgrading toilet roll holders. Now that's small time pimpin'.

I used to have a really ugly, plastic toilet roll holder. Now I have a nice, retro looking one. Andy put it up for me. It may be a small thing, but it really makes a difference.

Mugshot featuring 1940's hair.

Mugshot found on the internet. Taken in San Francisco sometime during the 1940s. I don't know what she was accused of, but she had a great hairstyle.

Elvis is slightly intimidated by all the cosmetics.

The shelf above the sink. I found the pin up girl in a stall at Spitalfields Market in London. The green ceramic box is where I keep my hair pins.
The glass was one of those items that you just keep moving from place to place. I finally realised that it was perfect for storing qtips.
