When we moved into our home, we thought we had everything as my husband had his possessions and I too had mine… however, we soon found out there were quite a few essentials we didn’t have.

So today, I thought I’ll try and help make life easier for you with getting the essentials you need for your bathroom.

I think all that are listed below are essential, and in my opinion, are a must-have.

Oh, just when I thought I had everything sorted in the bathroom!
Thank you, Vickie Louise. I’m now on the hunt for some great artwork to enhance my bathroom and an in-shower diffuser. Oh, and a few other little luxury items, like that great towel rack. And I’ll be putting the laundry basket back in there. Moving it to the laundry seemed like a good idea – at the time….
I loved the toilet roll holder!
Thank you!

I was just looking at the two tiny shelves in my shower this morning and wondered if I could write an entire blog post on how ridiculous it is to expect to fit EVERYTHING on these shelves. Thanks for your post. I have been looking for some ways to spruce up my bathroom, this has inspired me. 🙂
