We made this sign using a wooden cuout from Michals and painted it with chalk paint. Draw out the letters first with pencil, then paint over them with black paint. Super easy and fun craft that can be done in an hour or two!
Bathrooms can lack storage especially if you are sharing the space with more than one person. One hack we have for this is to buy a tiered shelving unit and placing it behind your toilet. This allows for extra storage space as well as gives you endless decor combinations. You can even buy a bunch of baskets as another way to fill the shelves and utilize the space!
Another cute and cheap design is using mason jars for storage. You can make one of these using a piece of wood, some aluminum hobby wire and mason jars.
