Loving milk glass in the bathroom

I have been thinking how to pretty up our tiny bathroom.

In our previous home, I had a small showcase of orange, pink and vermillion pretty things on an Ikea shelf in the toilet.



Even men would say that it was their favourite room in the house, this tiny toilet of 7 x 3 feet space that fit JUST the cream toilet (same shade as the walls and doors and door handle and toilet roll holder and floor.)



Now we have moved... and the tiny bathroom/toilet space has strong apple green walls, with dark stained wood floors and cover strips in the same dark stain. The only shelving in the bathroom is a non-descript bleh modern glass and steel 3-shelf thing my brother in law bought at a garage sale.


To the left of this is the sink and plain mirror. Behind is a plain white shower stall.


I long to be able to paint the entire space a light, creamy yellow with gloss white trim. But since we're here short term, it's not a priority (yet). So we have to work with apple green walls with dark red stain.

I think this tiny room cannot benefit from too much white so I've put into storage all our non-white towels. I installed those clothes hangers with white ceramic knobs. I plan to paint the mirror (or get another mirror) white.

I think I'll go with milk glass. I plan on using milk glass tumblers, vases, trays and comports ... I have only a measly few, but am adding to the collection slowly.

And of course, let's go pretty-picture hunting for inspiration!
