Can you believe it is already almost the middle of June? Where is the summer going? I am knee deep in getting ready for a family gathering and celebrating sweet Sophie and her 1st birthday and so, you know how it goes. All the rooms get redecorated. All the things that have been on the list to update or redo? Well, now they are glaring and need attention right.now. And of course, that means the bathroom needs a refresh too. And if you are like me- you want a beautiful & easy summer bathroom refresh. Because, then you can notch it off and get to the other summery things on your list- like gardening, relaxing and soaking up some vitamin d
Simple Summer Refresh Ideas
Add Fresh Flowers
Of course my number 1 tip for any refresh any time of year is fresh flowers.
I can’t get enough.
And in the bathroom, I love to use them on the sink vanity and by the tub.
You might remember seeing this faux bois vase that I shared awhile back.
I am obsessed with it. And currently on the hunt for another.
It is perfect in the bathroom with fresh peonies and adds a wee bit of rustic charm.
Bring in some Fresh White Towels
A basket full of fresh white towels is always a good thing. I buy them by the dozen and swap out any that are less than comfy and use those for household cleaning tasks.
New crisp and fresh towels are something so simple and easy to update and that make a huge difference in the welcoming feeling in the bathroom while being stored and while using them.
I also added some little white curtains on the window- will share more about how easy these were to make and put up soon.
Love how the sunlight is diffused through them.
Vintage or New Bottles Display
In the armoire- a collection of pretty bottles and bath bits create a charming vignette while being stored.
A tip with storage- when you have open shelving like I do in the bathroom- use baskets for the things you don’t want to see or that are not pretty- and search out pretty things that you use everyday.
Like this Argan oil? So smooth and silky for your skin.
I am obsessed with using it under my moisturizer after getting out of the shower.
And the fact that I found some in a blush bottle?
Well, hello. It was right in my cart.
I also added a rose water spray for spritzing,
peony scented lotion and chunky blush bar soaps for a pretty vignette on a vintage tray
that is also within easy reach for everyday use.
By the tub, simple and sweet.
New blush towels and a chunky candle warm up this spot.
Clear Bottles for Blooms
Bring in a Vintage Rug
Under foot in the bathroom- a vintage rug.
I had this particular rug in the entry area and after having several rugs cleaned-
decided to change up the look a bit.
I moved this one and another one into the bathroom and absolutely love it in here.
Simple and sweet fresh and perfect for a burst of summer sunshine
