Every Bathroom's Must Have

Ask yourself- do your bathrooms have any greenery in them? I have a few rules- and that would have to be one of them- that EVERY room- including the bathrooms- have some greenery of some kind. The Feng Shui people would agree with me as well. Use a real plant that can live in your level of natural light. Orchids- like the one above are sometimes perfect for a bathroom.

Use some cool "sticks" that can fill the need for greenery in a bathroom (or with an owner) that can't sustain real plants.

Even just a small vase by the sink can fill the need.

Can you cut some from your yard and bring them inside? I grew up with a great lilac tree- I wish I had one now...

Silk flowers work- keep them fresh by replacing them regularly (2 or 3 x/ year) with new silks.- Don't forget about them and let them be ugly little dust traps. :) Silk flowers are not meant to last for years and years!!!!

They can be small arrangements...

Or not so small plants. Look at each of the photos above and imagine them without the greenery. It really does add a lot. Check out the simple flower in the post below- adds a LOT! OK- go look at your own bathrooms now- do you have any plants? Any flowers? Any sticks? If you do- Good job- if not- go get some :) Did it make a big difference? OK- now send me some before and after pictures. :)

Thanks!
