Turn your bathroom into a hotel retreat.


With life, we tend to do things that are easy for us, and the things that make sense are usually what we rely on. But can you remember walking into a hotel room and how the feel of the room made you overcome with relaxation, the placement of the furniture the chocolates on the bed, just the pure organization of the room made you feel good. Managing to keep your home looking like a vacation oasis, probably doesn’t make sense. But what if I could show you how to bring that feeling home. Think about the things that made the room feel good. My husband and I went to a hotel in St Augustine, and when we entered the room, there was a slow hum of jazz on the radio, the furniture was this antique wrought Iron with a big fluffy comforter and 8 larger pillows, and we fell onto the bed and got lost in the sheets. We went to the bathroom and it was filled with water and oils and roses the sweet smell filling the room. There was even a basket full of towels and oils that you would find at an exquisite spa. I was in heaven!!
I want to show you how you can create that same affect. This will especially help those of you that have your homes on the market!
Clutter can leave a very uneasy sense of things not being complete, so the first thing we want to do is get the bathroom organized.




For $1.00 at Big Lots, you can get storage baskets, and place them as such; one for make ups, one for Hair products, one for cleaning products etc.




You can pull the basket out, use your products then place them back under the cabinet.






This not only clears the counter tops, it keeps the bathroom looking neat, and so that potential buyers aren’t focusing on your hair products or tooth paste. Once you place everything neatly under the cabinets, then you have room to begin creating your spa. Candles are always nice, and the can not only create a mood, but look incredible next to the sink. Try Ross, they have several different type of candle holders as in expensive as $4.99, then also look through there bathroom coordinates; you can buy towels and tooth brush holders and soap dispensers for less than $10 per set. Think of a color and theme and coordinate around that. I chose Chocolate and Teal green, I went to the dolor store and bought several “spa” like pieces, such as oils, and wicker shoes, back massagers and sponges, I also painted a tile to give it and authentic look and created a basket.




Once you have completed this, you can enjoy a daily spa treatment as well as keeping your bathroom organized and staged for potential buyers
