I found this basket for the toilet at Goodwill for $1. It wasn't quite what I wanted for my bathroom, but I figured I could paint it since it had the light wicker look to it. In actuality, I didn't have any chocolate brown spray paint, but I did have a gallon of wall paint on hand. Voila! It warmed the basket up! Isn't it cute?
Oh, and what to do with the rest of the bathroom? I'm not sure why, but I went country with everything for years. Maybe because I liked what my Mom had in her house - but now I'm overwelmed with getting rid of it. One of the first things that I did when we moved into our new home was put up this outhouse border. I've been thinking about removing it and changing everything, but I don't want to do this before I have the replacement pictures and bathroom accessaries.

If you have any ideas (besides ripping off the border), please let me know. This is really my only wall. I have one next to the shower that is about a foot wide and no towel hangers in the bathroom! (What were the builders thinking? No wall space in the bathroom for a towel bar!)

Hi! I love your little basket and how you've used in in your bathroom. I'm with you about the border. We just took off a border in our bedroom and it wasn't going to come off! Now if decide to take off your border and it won't budge, this will get it off for you - one capful of liquid fabric softener to a quart of hot water. Put it in a spray bottle. Spray it on the border, a little piece at a time, and wait about ten minutes and it peels right off!

lol, I posted a bathroom re-do, too! Maybe you could add robe hooks on your short wall, or a towel ring, I like to use things in a new, repurposed way, that fits my needs... I still like country, but my country tastes just keep evolving and I like that about it! Lezlee
