Today I worked on the finishing touches in our upstairs bathroom. I washed and ironed our shower curtain (a new one because I accidentally got hair color on our old one) and replaced our shower liner with a new one.
I wiped down the bathroom and deep cleaned my floors. The magazines have been recycled and new magazines were added to a basket next to the toilet. I threw in a couple of rolls of toilet paper while I was over in that corner. The bathroom trash was emptied and swiped down. Baseboards were wiped as well as the outside of our cabinet.
Just a few weeks ago, I had put fresh caulk on the tub and that is why I had included it in our activities. It just made my tub looks so new and so fresh- what an economical solution for making something look nice again Right now my vinegar is doing some action on my fixtures- I will pull these off in the morning.
I put out a fresh bar of soap for our guests and I stuck the toothbrush holder in the dishwasher for a deep cleaning. I stuck the toothbrushes in my creamer dish and I actually think they look pretty cute in there. If I don’t get the toothbrush holder as clean as I would like, I might just keep them in that!
Of all the work I did in the bathroom though, the linen closet is my shining glory! I have to hold myself back from opening and standing in front of it for a good five minutes. It has brought me a lot of pleasure to see this area in my home all neat and organized.
I will share pictures from my other bathroom tomorrow! I am really pleased with my progress in our upstairs bathroom. This is my least favorite room in the house because I need to rip out the wallpaper and paint, but at least it can be clean until I can accomplish that home improvement project!
Wow, I love the way you think Amy. Everything looks so professionally creative and tidy. I just cleaned out my bathroom and I really need to caulk it like you did.
Nice job!!

You ironed your shower curtain? Wow.
I love the idea of the soap on the pebbles! So beautiful.
And I know what you mean about standing and staring at an area that you’ve organized. I just did my kitchen cupboards and could look at them for hours.
Great job!

Wendy- I should have said WHY I had to iron the darn thing.
My husband hung it and it was all wrinkly from the packaging. I haven’t ironed in a good few months and I wasn’t about to iron a shower curtain so I thought I would wash it and then dry it to get it all nice and fluffy. What happened was that it was made from cheap material and it crinkled into a teeny ball and required an hour of attention which I was cursing myself for. I hate ironing and don’t iron anything around here so that was an EXTRA effort on my part (tried to be the lazy homemaker and ended up costing me).
Thanks for the compliments!! The pebbles are from the dollar store, the soap was a gift, the dishes came from my kitchen…very thrifty
