My Vintage Inspired Old Shabby Bathroom Shelves....

Hi, come on in...I've got something to show you and it's in my bathroom. I know....It's sort of a Crazy place to take you,  but I hope you are gonna be inspired....I think you will,  especially if you like a vintage, collected over time, style of decorating. 


 A few years ago I found this old shabby shelf and I think it's probably my best find ever.....it gives me a place to layer some of my favorite things....and I love it's chippy paint that I wouldn't dare paint over.....
The fabric on the back of it is  some that a friend gifted me with some time ago, so I already had it.... and the candle holder was also a gift...I really love the look of the barkcloth fabric.......

The old bottles are some I picked up at garage sales ....I just dolled 'em up a little with some vintage pendants and brooches....
 Embroidered fingertip towels ....I can never pass these by....


 




The hankie valance is a gift from my friend Holly, she made it and sent it to me a couple of years ago....I love it and it is one of my favorite things...

This old tobacco jar is holding my epson salts....I love this find and even the metal lid is so pretty and ornate...
This soap dish is old but I'm not sure how old....  I wish I knew more about....anyone with info, please do share.... 

More yard sale finds....well come to think of it, the vase came from Ross a few years ago...
Well, that's my vintage finds in my bathroom.... 

  Thanks for stopping by, to see my vintage inspired shabby chic bathroom shelf.....would you believe that it was only one dollar? I told you it was my best find ever...I'll be hanging on to this for a long long time :)   


Be sure to stop by these fun linky parties that I'll be joining this week


Big Hugs,
Queenie

Well you just have the prettiest bathroom ever! I mean- that shelf *is* the best find ever! $1.00?! Woo-hoo! It's deals like that which keep us going- right?

Glad to see you are still enjoying the bunting! ♥
