Bathroom Decor and Decorative Hiding Places


Bathroom Decor and Decorative Hiding Places for ???

Hi,   I don't know why, but I always felt a little uncomfortable sharing bathroom pictures, but, as I have mentioned before on how I like to display or hide things in decorative pieces I thought I would share a few in the bathroom.

I found this wine rack for dirt cheap and although we are not big wine drinkers I couldn't pass up this cute wine rack or the price.  OK your probably thinking...really wine in the bathroom?  No wine in the bathroom just the rack.

Here is what I did with the wine rack...
I filled it with some rolled up hand towels the colors of the bathroom not only does it decorate and give some color to the bathroom, but easy for guest to use.

to add some more color I added some purple hydrangea  at the base of the rack.  

 In this dish that I re-painted (used to be gold) I added some rolled up wash clothes and laid some hydrangea stems across the wash cloths...also easy access for guest.

 
Do you know what is inside this bucket?  Another one of my hiding places.
But this one hides the toilet paper.

It hold two rolls perfectly.   The roll inside the TP is a perfect vase so to speak to drop in the stem of the hydrangea flowers.



 
Not only does it hide the TP,  it is decorative and adds some color to the bathroom.
So now that I shared some of the bathroom... I guess it wasn't too bad and it wasn't that uncomfortable at all....lol.   Hope you enjoyed one more of my secret hiding places and using pieces in a whole different way.

Above Ground Pond


Above Ground Pond and Garden

Hi Everyone,  Well I finally got my pond!  I have been wanting one for a very long time.  I wanted one so bad that a few years back I actually started digging one myself at the house previous to this... I dug about 2 feet down and 5ft wide and then realized Mr. OMT wasn't going along with the program, so I filled it back up.
But much to my surprise...one day when I got home...right there before my very own eyes over in the corner was what I have wanted for so long...




We were given this plastic pond from a neighbor who was moving out. When she asked if I wanted it.... well you can see I didn't hesitate to say "YES"

It sat on the side of the yard for a long time...  Then like I said one day when I got home from work there it was out in the corner of the yard...but not in the ground ...Mr. OMT decided he would make it an "Above Ground Pond"
Most of you may have known that Mr. OMT has been out of work for almost 3 years due to a back injury so most of the work he does doesn't require a lot of stopping and/or lifting.
This will probably be the last of the projects for a
while since he is due to go in "finally" for some major back surgery this Friday.
After almost 3 years he will be getting the treatment he has needed for so long.  As he would put it "I will finally be able to get my life back"
I am praying all goes well and his recovery is fast!

How  an "Above Ground Pond" is installed 



To start the above ground Pond and Garden, the ground was leveled and chalked out.
Then the wood was measured from the ground to underneath the lip of the plastic pond.  Pieces of wood  from a 1 x 4 x 6 were cut measuring from the small ditch to the top of the lip.  Two of the pieces were placed in the corners to keep the plastic pond from moving and to keep it level.




With a  shovel a small ditch was cut for placement for the wood slats



Working with the slats and building the skirt around the Pond

Outdoor construction adhesive was placed on the top portion of the wood pieces and place under the plastic lip of the pond.  Working with one slat at a time, placing the slat  under the lip of the pond. Screw in the screws after each individual placement of the slats to keep level. Every third one take the the dirt from inside and out and press into wood to stabilize it.


 After screwing in the galvanized screws to hold in place the water pump was hooked up.  Followed by placing the top plastic water fall on top of a center decorative pedestal to hold up the front portion.
Pond was filled and pump was tested.

Decorating and Gardening in the pond


Now for my part which I consider the best part... decorating and creating a tropical garden inside the pond using first level of the pond for potted plants.




Little by little the plants were arranged until I got the tropical look I was going for...  

The humming bird feeder was moved and placed over the pond.  Now what humming bird wouldn't like this area?
 
 
 
 
I love how it sounds and the look it brings to the back yard...as you all know,  they yard is my favorite place to hang out. 
Thank you Mr. OMT !  I Love it and you for all your thoughtful ways!

I have a big favor to ask all of you... would you please send good thoughts and prayers that Mr. OMT's surgery goes well?

Thank you!
Till Next Post...Xo
