Years ago, I showed you my Chambord Soap Pump and Disarrono Soap Pump. I hate cluttered bathroom vanities so it only made sense to replace my lotion bottle.

Vanity Makeover – Lotion Bottle

The pump is repurposed from a disposable hand soap dispenser, and the bottle is a repurposed Disaronno bottle.  I replaced the straw with the longer one from the lotion bottle and trimmed off an inch. I resized and printed a French Chic image and Modpodged it onto the front of the bottle and sealed it with a few extra coats.

In the future, I’ll make sure my lotion is purchased in a squirt bottle so my glamorous dispenser will be easier to refill.

XOXO,

Hide your ugly cardboard tissue boxes with a custom French Chic Tissue Holder.

When I found an oil-rubbed bronze tissue box on clearance, I knew I wanted to customize it. I had resized and printed a small vintage French label from every crafters’  God Mother, The Graphics Fairy. Then, I quickly trimmed it out and ModPodged it onto the front. DIY home decor in under 5 minutes and under $10.

French Chic Tissue Holder

I’d like to find a rectangular, oil-rubbed bronze tissue holder to decorate one for the powder room.

French Chic Wall Art for Ensuite Bathroom

Perhaps you remember the French Chic (Monogram) Wall Art I made for our family room. When I created it, I immediately planned to create more pieces in the same style (Mom, I know I still owe you and Dad a monogram one…). I’ve had my plan and materials ready, but kept them pushed aside until now.

Young Wifey’s French Chic Wall Art for Ensuite Bathroom

The Prints:
Of course keeping both poems in their native French, I chose one poem by Baudelaire and another by Apollinaire. The Apollinaire poem was a bit longer, so I split it in half to create two pieces. The text (using a script-like font in grey) created the background image on off-white paper. On each print, I layered Victorian clip art of three perfumes bottles with atomizers from The Graphics Fairy (Thanks Karen!). These images were printed in black ink. Once dry, I sprayed my prints with a layer of clear acrylic sealer.

Framing:
I had thee 8″x10″ bronze frames for my triptych of prints. I layered each print with a white mat that provided a 5″x7″ window for my prints. Once assembled they were ready to hang.

How do you like my wall art project?
What home decor projects do you have in progress?
