Jazzing Up Those Bathroom Accessories

Having an extra bathroom meant we needed new bathroom accessories. All the super cute soap dispensers and toothbrush holders were about $12 a pop. There was no way I as paying that. Instead I got crafty and ended up with some darling accessories that look almost as good as the real thing.

Supplies:
  • Soap dispenser ect. (Mine were $1.88 a piece at WalMart)
  • Spray paint of your choice 
Before: Pretty ugly right?

The project is as simple as; spray paint and leave to dry. Make sure to not get too close other wise you may get some drips...I got a few eeks. 



After: Not bad huh? Here is the spray paint I used just in case you want the same look.

Key Hook Frame

We just moved apartments and our life is in boxes and taking forever to organize, but I did find the time and supplies to do a simple project today. I found this old picture, I've probably had it since I was about 16. The print is not really my style anymore, but the frame is really cute so I decided to make a Key Hook Frame.

Supplies:
  • Frame of choice
  • 2-3 hooks
  • Wire




First I removed the back, print and glass. 



Then I added some hooks I randomly found in my husband's tool box. This was probably the hardest part, I ended up using a hammer to start the hole off and then I was able to screw it in the rest of the way. 



I attached some wire to the back to hang it on. I was lucky and there was already some staples on the back that I could feed it through, if you don't have that you could probably use a staple gun to secure the wire. 



Simple, yet cute!
