~decorating our master bath with TJ Maxx~

I love discount stores, don't you?

We have a TJ Maxx about 10 minutes from my house, it can be very dangerous.

But, TJ Maxx is the first place I thought of when I envisioned sprucing up our master bath. 

I feel like spring is a great time to change things up a little, bring a few new knick knacks in.

As you can see, I found some great deals…..

That faux greenery is my favorite.

I am usually not a fan of faux plants, but this one was gorgeous.

The little concrete planters hold little odds and ends like hair ties and headbands.

Another thing I like to buy at TJ Maxx is candles.

They have so many, which is good because I literally have a candle burning all day everyday.

The picture frame below sits on a different shelf. 

It was around $7.00.

This is a great time of year to go buy little planters and garden items.

The wooden beads I just found at a rummage sale.

Another thing I recently did which has made my life so much easier, was to bring my Keurig into the bathroom.

My kids think I am super lazy, but let me tell you, it is so nice to not have to walk far to make that first cup of coffee in the morning!

This little wooden crate/tray and cups was a score from the same rummage sale.

While at TJ Maxx, I also picked up this jute rug, $16.99, can't beat it.

The antique rug I found recently while out thrifting. 

It's super soft underfoot.

What are some of your best deals you've found recently?

~our master bath~

I thought I'd show you the master bathroom which is right off our master bedroom. I guess that's a given......
Anyway, we added onto it around 8 years ago, adding a walk in shower and a jacuzzi tub. I'm such a tub girl. I'd take a bubble bath over a shower anyway.

Here are some ways we saved money:
The bathroom vanity was a returned item that was marked down. Look for these items at home improvement stores. Sometimes you can find special order items that were made not exactly to the customers specifications, and you can get them for a steal. This particular one was maple and it was cracked in a couple places. We asked the manager for an even bigger markdown and got it. Sometimes, actually all the time, it doesn't hurt to ask. I knew I would be painting it anyway, so it was perfect. I painted and distressed it and added appliques to the doors. The granite counter, sink, and backsplash was a all in one deal at Home Depot as well.

This shelf was a thrift store find that was around $10.00 whole dollars. I painted it the same color as the vanity and distressed it as well.

I love this for necklace storage!

These jars I got at Rejuvenation after winning a gift card on this fantastic blog!

I love lighting these candles at night. It creates a very relaxing mood. The floors and all the other tile are travertine and were bought right off the shelf at Home Depot. I normally have bath mats, I just took them out for the photos. I tiled the shower and my husband did the tub and the floor. We make a great team! I made the gigantic mirror above the sink, it was actually one of my first mirrors I ever made. I made it the same way I make all my picture frames. If you'd like to learn how, you can, for $10.00 my e- course will show you how. Sign up for it here!

Do you want to see what we started with? A teeny tiny little closet of a bathroom!

And then, when we started ripping into things, we found this lovely surprise.

If anyone has any suggestions for dressing up those windows, I'd love to hear! I have been stuck on what to do for a really long time! Holly???

Hope you are having a great weekend! I am taking 3 girls to the Taylor Swift concert tonight!
