I gave you a tour of what our bathroom looked like in the past, when we get ready for our visitors, but I didn’t exactly show you what it looks like during the off-season when we don’t have guests. I love for the bedroom to be a complete sanctuary, and I would like the bathroom to somewhat replicate it, and look dreamy, and spa-like. Not too difficult to achieve, right? It’s hard to know what to do, when you don’t know where to shop. So today I’m showing you a few unique pieces I found for our bathroom recently.
Considering we still rent, I don’t like to put too much on the walls (if any) so after a year our bathroom still has bare walls and I’m cool with that. I still think it pulls together fairly well, what do you think?
After posting this picture on Instagram over the weekend, so many people were itching to know where the white dome-shaped tissue holder came from. It was a random eBay find for less than $7! You can buy it here. Please buy one for every family member. They come in a couple of different colours, and ugh — it’s kinda perfect. It arrived in 10 business days. I bought a few more things from eBay but you’ll have to wait until my next round of rated eBay purchases goes live.
If you’re wondering why there is only one toothbrush on the shelf, it’s because my husband and I are lucky enough to have two bathrooms! He uses the other one, and I get this one all to myself. The green thing to the right is a package of mints that I bought from REI of all places. Hello toothpaste is a new-to-me product that I’m currently trying out. I reached out to them and asked if I could try out their products and it arrived yesterday with 2 packages of toothpaste (one being peach mango mint, funny hey?), two breath sprays and a toothbrush. Then I have this white ceramic square tray I picked up from World Market for $1.99Â and with a 20% discount too! I’m a bargain hunter at heart, I tell you. It was way cheaper than buying it for $13.99 at Muji, and I mean – it looked just like a plate to me. So I wasn’t about to pay that price (some of their stuff is over priced, but many of their products are reasonable). Â Muji is a fantastic store by the way if you like organizing. It’s similar to ikea but nicer! Both the donut shaped item holding my clear toothbrush are from Muji, and finally a travel sized aesop hand cream that smells phenomenal.
Alright back to Hello products for a quick minute. I wanted to try them out since I knew they were naturally friendly and free of artificial colours. If I were to repurchase anything from this line, it would be the toothpaste.
Seriously, their packaging is adorable. This is the breath spray, and it’s just okay. You get the initial peppermint in the mouth, but if you’re looking for a strong zesty fresh feeling you’ll have to look elsewhere. I love SUPER minty but those can actually harm your teeth. These dental products are all natural and much safer for your oral hygiene.
Ranunculus flower, you are officially in my bad books. I loved the smell and look of these flowers at first, they looked like mini peonies. But these suckers wilted after three days and I had to trim them down to fit in this mini water glass because they were drooping over my vase. Sad times. On another note, does anyone keep their fancy looking hand soaps out and refill them with other cheaper soap? I bought this gardenia and white tea scented soap a while ago at TJ Maxx, but it’s been long gone, so I refill it with other liquid soap from the grocery store. Still looks fancy. Success.
Who knew a tissue holder could be so snazzy looking? So glad I found it. You can also use it for toilet paper too.
Side note, it is so hard to photograph this bathroom without me being in it. This is one of the pictures I decided not to photoshop myself out of. :)
If you’re in San Francisco tomorrow, pop by Union Square from 11am — 4pm. Hello products will be there and you can have a chance to try their new products, peach mango mint, mojito mint, supermint and pink grapefruit mint. They’ll also be giving away friendly goodies and giving you a chance to win a $100 gift card to Target.

We redecorated the main floor this winter. New slipcovers for the couches in the family room, pictures for the walls, new coat of paint… what a difference!
I am intrigued by the Hello products and definitely want to give them a shot!
We’re about to totally redo our master bath so I’m constantly looking for inspiration. I love the tissue holder, too! I’m going for the spa-like look, also and it would be a wonderful addition. Oh, and my favorite flowers (this week) are tulips. Once my hydrangeas begin to bloom, they will be my fave.

I’ve been meaning to try some Hello products, I hear they rock. I’ve had a friend who also had a few problems with Ranunculus flowers. She said they wilted super fast. I plan on going a little spring cleaning/revamping of my bathroom next week <3

I love what you did with your bathroom. It can be difficult to get the most out of a smaller bathroom, but you certainly got the job done! It looks really great. I especially love how you extended the counter surface over the top of the toilet to increase your space.

I love the whole look of your new bathroom. I’ve never used Hello products before but you sure did make me want to. I’ll have to head on over and check them out and maybe even give my bathroom a whole new look.
Something about an all white room that makes me smile. My fave flower is the peony. I have never actually had a ranunculus in person but they sure are pretty!

@Mindy@FindingSilverLinings: Peony season is my favourite season lol. Plus they last ages!
Such a pretty bathroom! I love that tissue holder. How adorable! I need to get one but I’m pretty sure it would get broken in my house so I may get one and put it away for a while! I love the touches you put into your bathroom. The flowers and mints are awesome… One of the prettiest bathrooms I’ve seen! Looks great Nancy!
@Jeanine: It’s made of plastic if that counts for anything! Lol

You have truly achieved a feeling of calm and peace in your bathroom. I love how white everythign is…and the clear toothbrush is so neat. I have never heard of HELLO products but they definitely seem worth looking into.
You’ve done a great job of making your bathroom look like a spa. I haven’t tried Hello before but it would be cool to try a natural toothpaste like that.

Adorable bathroom! I can’t wait until my husband and I move into a new, for-real home so that I can decorate. :) I like how fresh and clean the bathroom looks. Your tissue holder totally steals the show!
My favorite flowers are carnations. They’re gorgeous in their simplicity and they last forever. I even made my own centerpieces and bouquets out of them for my wedding.
Hi Nancy! I love how simple and clean your bathroom looks. Mine is quite similar! How nice you have your own space! :)

@Ashley @ A Lady Goes West: I think it’s going to be a mandatory option when we buy a home – have 2 separate bathrooms. It’s awesome lol.

How awesome not to have to share a bathroom with your husband! I have not heard of Hello toothpaste before sounds great!

I love how light and airy your space is. I feel like it is always so important to flood a bathroom with natural light…especially for makeup application for us ladies! Thanks for sharing your insight on those new products.

I’ve never tried Hello product but I love the packaging. Just the look of it in my bathroom when I wake up will be exciting. I’ve tried only Toms of Maine Natural Toothpaste.

I have never heard of this band before. Sounds really nice. BTW your bathroom is lovely!

This is an amazing bathroom indeed. I would love to have a bathroom like this one. I have to admit though you gave me ideas. I love the white flowers and the round tissue holder is the first thing I seen actually. Awesome job indeed. Thanks for sharing.
What a great redesign. I love how neat it is. That vase is just beautiful
I’m in the process of redecorating our entire flat at the moment, renovated the bathroom last summer and I’m very glad that’s done!
I’ve never heard of Hello products, but I don’t think they’re available in Denmark.
Gerbera daisies are my favorite flower, I carried red ones on my wedding day to match the soles of my Louboutins :)
And I’ve got an awful habit of chewing m toothbrush because I brush my teeth while surfing the internet, so I have to replace it about twice as often as normal people :)

What an awesome job. Looks like you’ll be spending more time in there lol.
I am loving this makeover! Also, I can’t stand real flowers. I can never keep them alive, no matter how hard I try. They always end up dying after a couple of days. I’m also pretty frugal that I’d rather buy expensive fake ones than waste money every week on fresh ones. I do often miss smelling real flowers, though.

The bathroom looks great! I love a clean, white bathroom. I need to try the Hello products. I love the decor also.
Redesigning your bathroom can be challenging in terms of the plan and the budget. But after everything is done, we can see very well that you have worked hard to make it look great. Your efforts are worth it!
Oh what a luxury to have my own bathroom, to not have to Clean up behind 3 boys. I’m super jealous and love that tissue holder. I’d have a different color in every room. Beautiful work!
I still love that little MUJI toothbrush holder. It’s so darn cute! Once I’m back in Canada and settled in I am totally buying those tissue dispensers for every room in the house. They are so affordable and they look so modern and chic! Great find :)

I love the simplistic but chic look of your bathroom. I have actually heard of the Hello Brand but never used their products. I think their packaging is super adorbs by the way…I need a bathroom revamp thanks for the inspiration!

Your bathroom looks simply more awesome. The overall feel and color of it makes it more inviting. If we are going to redecorate our own bathroom, I think I will use some of your ideas, hope you wont mind it!
