Almost Free Bathroom Makeover- Extra: Out in the Open TP Storage!!

2009-07-08T19:54:00Z

Ok…its happened to all of us. We are in a bathroom not our own, innocently heeding nature’s call, reach for the TP… and nothing! We quickly glance around to see if there are any extra rolls stashed within easy reach. If there are, yay!…whew! Crisis averted! If not… then we are left to the dreaded drip dry…

This has certainly happened to me more than once. I hate being put in that position and I hate the idea of putting my friends and guests in that position, too!

Since I have been spending some time focusing on my Bathroom make-over as of late, I decided to muse on my easy solutions for keeping the Toilet Paper within easy reach for me and my guests!

Almost Free Bathroom Makeover- Part one: Junk-Hiding Sink Skirt!!

I LOVE Jeans.

As with a lot of things in life I came kind late into the jeans game. Mom, being the classically minded sort, tended to dress us in slacks. (BTW, the sound of the words “slacks” has always made me shudder…”slacks”…uhhhh...) One outfit particularly burned into my memory consisted of a pair of grey slacks, with a baby pink and white stripe button-down shirt that had a whale cross-stitched over the breast pocket. I’m sure I was rockin’ a pair Kangaroos with that get-up too… HOT. Oh…2nd grade awkwardness…

I am not sure exactly when I started wearing jeans. I assume it was somewhere around 4th grade. When, as my family was about to be transferred overseas, my brother and I were treated to a shopping spree of American clothes. It was the first time I remember actually actively choosing my wardrobe. A formative moment indeed.

Over the years I fell victim to myriad jean trends. In middle school my jeans were slim with a zipper and denim bow at the bottom, In Jr. High I longed for (though never acquired!) a pair of tapered acid washed Guess jeans with that triangle logo on the ass, In High school I tight rolled… until that became passé and I went baggy, oversized and flared for the grunge 90’s. The new millennium and grad school re-discovered my waistline thanks to blessed low-rise and boot-cut. Lately, thanks to the cyclical nature of fashion, those skinny jeans have worked their way back into my closet, co-existing happily with their ever flattering boot-cut sisters.

Anyone who knows me is aware that I wear jeans pretty much all the time. They totally fit with my lifestyle. My job, as glamorous as it may seem from the outside, is actually a lot of grunt work…from hauling huge bags of clothes or sitting on the floor of a dirty warehouse to fake-hem someone’s pants or tie their shoes. It is not unusual to see me on a shoot with a leg covered in pieces of double-stick tape and labels pulled off of garments, Giant safety pins piercing front pockets to be within easy reach and a hanger with the next outfit dangling from a rear belt loop. Suffice it to say I like pants that can work…
