How to Display Your Soap and Perfume Your Bathroom at the Same Time

Thursday, January 7th, 2010

“St Piere” candy jar $19.95, tall footed with lid 40cm $32.95, “St Piere” tall footed with lid 57cm $69.95, round $24.95, ribbed glass jar 20cm $24.95.

I have guests frequently at my house so my design and interior has always factored into account that my guests would be using the bathrooms and showers. Therefore the provision of shampoo, condition, soap and tooth brushes has been ample and until recently when I stumbled upon a store called Provincial Home Living, I had stored the extra items away in cupboards until they were needed.

Provincial Home Living provided an idea that I could use the extra soap to perfume the bathroom, whilst also displaying it on a shelf-unit which looked both charming and practical. All you’re going to need is a thin glass jar, lots of soap and somewhere to place the jar in your bathroom.

Instant provincial charm.

Provincial Home Living

There is something about the word “provincial” that makes me think of French design and lifestyle ~ “Come and stay the weekend at my French provincial home anyone?” It evokes imagery of pride, passion, escape, warmth, history and tradition where time slips by unnoticed so it was with surprise that I discovered a store recently called Provincial Home Living that provided such design aesthetics.

As I am currently designing a house with thoughts running through my mind ~ French Living ~ I explored this store for inspiration. Although the products aren’t genuine antiques, it provides enough of a muse with excellent design and feel to evoke the provincial environment and ideal.

I also ended up finding items that I absolutely LOVE. The black and white theme is in these days; at least for my bedroom.

The black mirror has a brushed, rough aesthetic which would work well in a bedroom.

I love the black ladder. It could work as a towel rack in the bathroom.

The “Alcase” bedside table ~ 2 drawer ($219 AUD) and “Antique” white washed frames: sml $9.95  (AUD), lge $12.95 (AUD), square $14.95 (AUD). All about the washed black and white look.
