Apartment Life: My Bathroom

The shower curtain. 

Out of all the things that I was buying and envisioning as I was putting together my room, closet, and bathroom, the damn shower curtain had me the most stressed out. Why?

I had searched websites and I had gone to multiple Targets and tried Bed Bath & Beyond thinking these stores would surely have something that would win me over. I knew that since I was already incorporating a lot of dark and neutral colors with my room and closet, I wanted my bathroom to be bright and colorful. They should have that, right?

No. Nothing. I couldn't find anything that made me happy inside and I wasn't in a mood to settle. And it was getting complicated trying to find other bathroom necessities when I didn't have the focal point to work from. I was soon in crunch time mode too.

Of course, I naturally fell in love with a company, DENY Designs, that happens to be on the higher price range for shower curtains. High enough to where I wasn't sure if I could justify paying that much for a shower curtain.

But I got lucky.

It just so happened to be 4th of July weekend when I was trying to make my final decision when they were having a sweet sale to celebrate the holiday. I still kept going back and forth, but it just seemed meant to be!

So I searched their website for hours on a couple different occasions that weekend because DENY's selection is that big and there are so many patterns that I loved. It was a tough decision. I also was worried about the quality of the shower curtain. The pictures on the site make it hard to visualize. I even looked up reviews and blogs to double make sure.

I finally pulled the plug, picked the pattern, used the sale, and soon my shower curtain was in just in time for the move!

I was also able to get the rest of my bathroom decor and loved that there were so many colors to pull from. I definitely achieved the vision I dreamed up. So let's get to the details!

Shower Curtain - DENY Design in "Some Hearts" pattern

Shower hooks - Target

Soap dispenser - Target

Toothbrush holder - Target

White and blue bathroom rugs - IKEA (Only $9.99 each! And they are super soft!)

Towels - Target

Trashcan - The Container Store

Drawer/sink organizers - The Container Store

Since I splurged on the shower curtain, I kept it simple and inexpensive on the rest of the necessities and decor.

I love my shower hooks! I think they add a little extra feminine feel to the bathroom. They even give off a cool glow in certain lighting.

If you haven't experienced The Container Store yet, you need to. Especially if you are a lover of organization, this place will give you some feels. It has all sorts of organization mechanisms for every place in your home. I picked up these organization blocks to put in my drawer so everything has its place and I am not fumbling through hair ties and other random things to find a bobby pin in a hurry!

I bought bigger blocks for under my sink to hold other little bathroom goodies from lady products, bubble bath, razors, lotions, etc. The Container Store also has dividers for these cubes. I have one that separates my miscellaneous things from my nail care products.

So far my bathroom has been turning into a Taylor Swift bathroom. I have my huge frame in which I switched the poster to the reverse side of her with a bunch of colorful balloons from her Speak Now World Tour. I recently purchased a photo from her 1989 World Tour and put it in a sparkly frame that was given to me by a BFF. It just seemed to fit well and I still needed something to go above my towel rack. I am thinking of somehow incorporating lyrics from her song "Clean," to go above the doorway!

That's a look at my bathroom and some backstory on how it came to be. I still think there is more to be added, but I love how it has come together so far! What cool features does your bathroom have?
