Do you see that pretty corked bottle in the far left corner of the picture? The cork was a recent addition, but the bottle is eleven years old.
And Matt’s stocking received a more masculine monochromatic and simple look.
The glass orb ornaments were a 50% off Hobby Lobby find, and I’m thrilled with them. They are flat on both sides which makes them perfect for hanging near the wall. I filled half of the ornaments with Epsom salts….
…and the other half I filled with bubble bath! While in the tub, I can just empty my ornaments into the water to create a luxurious bath. A set of these stuffed inside a shell stocking would make the cutest gift! If you steal that idea, please link to me and give me credit :).
My toilet wasn’t neglected in the coastaling process either. I shopped the house by adding some sticks I had in the dining room and a lantern from the kitchen.
When all the candles are lit, it looks simply magical. Sigh. I may never want to leave.

It looks so magical when the lights are off and the candles lit! You did such a good job on this. Those white stockings are pretty. I would want to spend all my free time in that room! 😉

I think winter and the beach go so beautifully together in a rugged sort of way. Here you have brought that feeling to the bath, and WOW! Enjoy your next soak!
Mandy says
So adorable!
I hide in the bathroom sometimes to read – if it looked like this, I'd never come out!
Lovely Scribbles says

Heather@PixieDust says
wow – that looks incredible! I think I need to start collecting shells, too. I love it when every room in the house is decorated for Christmas and not just the living room. Great job – esp. for $10!!

Well, if they thought you were weird for collecting shells, they probably still think you're weird for decorating for Christmas with them! What do they know? It looks fabulous!!
Beth says
You have a beautiful bathroom. I love that you decorated it for Christmas!!
Cindy says
AWesomeness. I would never get outta that tub. 'Course, being the Klutz that I am, I'd trip over the decor on the outside of it. 🙂

Kelly @ Dare to be Domestic says
Super adorable! I love your bathroom and I love when people decorate bathrooms for Christmas! (I do the same). SO fun! I bet Santa will rethink the rest of his journey when he stops by your house and sees the tub looking so festive!

A little bubble bath in that tub and I'd be spending a lot of time in there, too! I love the white in here, Beth.

Really great looking! Cute idea with the bath salts and bubble bath!

That is an incredible proposal story! Your hubby gets major props for that! Love that you decorated your bathroom. I decorate our guest bath with one of my favorite Christmas pictures, but you have raised the bar my friend!
Jill says
The 4-shell stocking is my favorite. Cute!
Dayka says
Love this, friend! When I come over I want to hang out in the bathroom. We'll be sitting on your bed having lots of girl talk, and I'll be like, "Girl, can I use your bathroom?" And you'll say "yes", of course, and I'll disappear for like, 15 minutes, and you'll be like, "um, dayka? is everything okay?" And I'll be like "Yeah, girl, I'm just chillin' on the 'stool' reading a magazine from this cute little basket you have here. You can come in if you want, I'm not actually USING the pot . . . ."
That's an exact script of what would happen if I ever came over. Now of course, it won't happen before xmas, but even if it's years from now, I'll still ask you to recreate that "old bathroom from '09" so I can experience it myself. Oh, by the way, did I say I love it???? 🙂
maura says
I am lucky if I can keep my bathroom clean with a boy in the house. Your bathroom is exceptionally beautiful and I love how you used inexpensive items together to get a very upscale look!
Jen R. says

Love every inch of that bathroom! Very nicely done!
