I once read that if someone stops by unannounced and you only have a few minutes to tidy up, focus on the bathroom. It's the only room where a guest will spend time alone, and consequently they'll pay more attention to their surroundings. A guest may not notice the vintage vases on your bookshelf, but they'll definitely see the hand soap by the bathroom sink. Here are seven favorite picks for that clean and pretty bathroom. -- By Rachel from Elephantine1. Bird House Bath Tissue Holder, $12.99.
2. Robin's Egg Soaps, $24.
3. Wooden Toothbrush Set, $12.50. (See how the toothbrushes say "guest?")
4. Fog Linen Towels, $27 to $70.
5. Recycled Glass Canister, $29.
6. Sailor's Soap Dish, $20.
7. Ombre Bath Mat, $29.
P.S. More round ups...

These are lovely. In addition, I think that spraying the bathroom with a fresh scent also helps. It makes a bathroom feel ten times cleaner. I'm just curious, how does one become a contributor for you? :)
ReplyDeleteOmg, i have never seen soap in the form of eggs! they are just too cute!

I love Rachel's jewelry line, Elephantine. Great to see she'll be a regular contributor! Also, thanks for the tips on a cute and tidy bathroom. The Mr. Clean Magic Eraser is my secret weapon. ;)
ReplyDeleteIt's like accessories in fashion, they can make or break your whole outfit but you have to take that chance.

ReplyDeleteHappy Tuesday, Joanna!
That is such a good idea! I have never thought about the logic of focusing on the bathroom rather than other parts of the house.
ReplyDeleteI adore the sailor soap dish!!! Ahhh, love a beautiful bathroom!!

ReplyDeletegreat idea! i never focus on the bathroom, but that makes so much sense. Unfortunatley right now we store the strollers in there...eek....well on the main floor anyways
ReplyDeleteI completely agree, my hubs thinks I'm crazy, but I always run right to the bathroom to tidy up when he surprises me with friends after work. I'm loving these spring time accessories too!
ReplyDeleteThat rug is gorgeous!! And I'm really in love with that tissue box cover :) so cute!
ReplyDeleteThe egg soaps are so cute!!

ReplyDeleteI love those egg soaps... Great accessories!
ReplyDeleteThis is definitely my go-to strategy when a friend gives me a 10 minute heads-up that they're dropping by.
ReplyDeleteCLEANING BLITZ!
A tidy, pretty bathroom is such a relief.

I love those guest toothbrushes!
ReplyDeleteThis is soooo true! I was so embarrassed after I had my baby and didn't get a chance to tidy the bathroom when guests came over! I am loving the prices on these beautiful finds as well!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! I especially love the bath mat.
ReplyDeleteAmazing! I adore rachel and her blog - love this roundup!
ReplyDeletelike the wooden toothbrushes.
ReplyDeleteOh Rachel! So cool that you're a contributor to Joanna! :) Guests BETTER see the soap! Adorable picks, as always.
ReplyDeleteGreat to see Rachel contributing here — she has impeccable taste! Loving these suggestions and the suggestion to tidy up the bathroom, I usually tend to focus more of my efforts on tidying up the living room.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! I always think to spend the most effort on the "public" rooms since I see them the most when I'm home. But I never thought that guests would probably most notice your decorating effort in the bathroom.
ReplyDeleteI NEED THAT BATH MAT!! great post!

Love all that stuff. I've always loved decorating my bathroom. I think I like the paint color and back splash in my bathroom which helps.. but I always thought I was weird for that being my favorite room to tidy and keep nice. Now I have a reason!
ReplyDeleteNever would have thought those eggs were actually soaps!
ReplyDeletethat bath mat is just too purdy to dry off on!!!

ReplyDeleteThis is so interesting, as I was picking up my home this morning for a mommy play date- and know with all of the potty training going on, everyone will visit my bathroom more than any other room in the house!! Going to clean that toilet bowl right now..
ReplyDeleteInteresting tip.
ReplyDeleteAny great shower curtains?!
ReplyDeleteAlso, I've been hearing that the plastic liners contain harmful chemicals...any suggestions for eco-friendly liners? Or maybe go liner-less...ideas?
these are lovely! i love the colours too! xx
ReplyDeleteThe seven items all look really inviting for guests ,I think I would add a comfy towel here too :)
ReplyDeleteGreat ! this is one of the best idea for which i was waiting for , please keep it regular ..
ReplyDeletethanks
If you do not have a lot of bathroom counter space, consider a wall-mounted bath soap dish. If you choose this style, be sure it includes mounting hardware made of durable metal.
