Bathroom Update

Is it just me or is it crazy we're half way through May already!?! How did that happen?!? Anyways I've got a ton of projects started, but not finished enough to blog about them so I thought I would share a little bathroom update today. We redid our bathroom two years ago - like a down-to-the-studs redo. You can see the original post HERE. Not too much has changed except some of the decor and the pictures are a little better this time around. 




 Ooops I didn't even notice my little photo bomber until now!

It's been two years and my drop cloth shower curtain is holding up well and I still love it!

 I've added quite a bit of shaving decor

And my shaving brush collection is a little crazy. 

 I also replaced the items that used to be in this box with milk glass apothecary jars. 




 



 I love ironstone shaving mugs!

We recently found this fabulous chippy stool. It was in my booth for awhile, but I brought it home after I realized it would be perfect for Anderson to use.

For the Love of Ironstone

Do any of you have that ONE thing that you can just never pass up, no matter how much you already have? I have a ton of collections and in most cases when I fill up an allotted space with a given collection, I generally stop buying whatever it is. That is not the case for ironstone! I can never resist a piece of ironstone - it's my ONE thing I can never walk away from. 

The way I justify buying so much ironstone is that we actually do use it on a daily basis. Some of it sits on a shelf looking pretty, while the rest is functional. We've replaced all of our old plates, bowls and cups with nothing but ironstone and I love it!!!! The best part is that I find most of it at thrift stores for great prices! 

I pretty much use it anyway I can all around the house, so today I'm sharing my collection with you! Some of it you've seen before, some you have not! :)


Here are my barn wood shelves I've shared before with the majority of my collection.

 



And my door shelf
 





I also use ironstone:

On our desk

In my craft room


And in the bathroom



And here are other pieces I have collected
 Platters - which we use

 These are the plates we use daily

 Countertop vignette


 Bowls

 Tureen - a gift from my boss!!


 Such pretty details!



 This tureen is my most recent purchase! I bought it from my friend Janet at White Barn Vintage!!

We use this bowl for our fruit and veggies

 I think this is a butter dish? I've never seen another one like it before.





 I think this might be an underplate to something. We use it as a spoon rest on the stove. 



I'm even willing to part with some for my etsy shop:
HERE

And HERE


I'm sure I'll have more pieces to share with you soon! What's your ONE thing?
