Luxury in the toilet

In our new home, there are two toilets. The one in the ensuite leaks so we don't use it but to store luggage until such a time we can afford to redo the ensuite. We're happy using the other one for now (only one toilet to clean!).

This other one is a four walled space, no windows, nothing.

And again, the whole space looks like someone's poured 50 gallons of cream paint on EVERYTHING.

So it badly needs some loving and attention.

What I'd like is to be able to wallpaper the entire space in a bold and beautiful print. (see my previous post about wallpapering small spaces) But there are other more important, more desperate needs (like a fence outside) that trumps wallpaper.

I decided to collect pretty wrapped bars of soaps for a jewel-like pop of colour on my recently installedIkea RÖNNSKÄR wall shelving above the toilet seat. They aren't cheap here, so for a treat, I can only justify getting one at a time...

Or maybe I'll DIY some, wrap some thick bars of soap with some pretty paper.

Something like a bathroom in DVO's O At Home apartment tour:

For some sweet soap:

Australia

I love Sohum's line of products. I use their Cotton Flower Body Moisture Creme and it's a treasured item of luxury in my home. But they also have luxurious soaps in pretty powder-puff-like boxes!



Mor Australia has some gorgeously present soaps and lotions in all colours and scents.

Pretty scented candle from Mirror Mirror on the Web



The Thymes Red Cherie Spa Collection from Wrapables.com.



Saipua has some really pretty ones too!



Fantasia Tulip from Flutter is wrapped in pretty paper too.



Oooh I love these pretties from Fresh.com
