My bathroom countertop

3 comments

Seeing a friend’s bathroom for the first time can be quite telling. In a personal way, similar to seeing inside someone’s handbag, it helps you understand a little bit about where that person is coming from.

The problem with bathroom countertops is that they’re limited when it comes to space. So you’re forced to consolidate to your absolute necessities. Keeping this area looking nice can be a challenge. Do you sacrifice looks for functionality? Or do you keep your counters strictly practical? It’s really interesting to see what items make the cut for some people.

At any rate, this is what sits on display on my bathroom counter.


{A tray from TJ Maxx holds cotton balls and cue tips, stored (somewhat) neatly in jars that Carter picked up from Storables. Sweet-smelling, luxurious Hane Mori hand lotion lives on a small tray, right next to the jars. This lotion was a gift, but I love it so much I’m saving up to purchase the Hane Mari perfume.}


{A blue dish from Ikea that matches the aqua and green theme of our bathroom sits in front of the tray as a convenient place for me to toss my watch, rings and other small jewelry and bobby pins at the end of the day}


{Occasionally my Brazil Nut Body Butter from The Body Shop (SO yummy!) gets tucked away in my drawers, but usually it gets left out because I’m constantly using it to moisturize.}


{My perfumes are always on my countertop, for convenience. I wish I could choose just one to make things less cluttered (and aren’t women supposed to have a “signature scent”?), but I find myself rotating between these three depending on my mood.}


{I usually attempt to put my hair tools away after I use them, but it seldom happens. Usually, they get left out on the edge of my countertop like this.}

Ever since our move, my countertop has reached a somewhat happy medium between functional and attractive. Fortunately for us, our bathroom has storage behind the mirror and a decent amount of cabinet space, so we can afford to be a little more flexible. I shove my not-so-attractive face wash, face lotion, toothbrush and toothpaste away in my drawers so I don’t have to stare at them when I’m not using them.

Where are the rest of my beauty products, you may be wondering? Well, that explosion of madness is hidden away in my drawers nowhere near ready to be unveiled on this blog just yet.

What makes the cut on your bathroom counter?

You're lucky you have storage! My bathroom has no place to put things at all.

By the way, we wear some of the same perfume :)

Maggie, I know! I'm grateful for this bathroom. We got spoiled in the storage department.
