    Cute! No storage for toiletries? And I might go with a different mirror but that's just me.

    Thanks - I do have a linen closet in the bathroom - but maybe two small shelves where the artwork is??

    I like the artwork! A coastal bathroom can be so much fun - look around for ideas.

    I think its the white frame.

    sometimes you can push too hard and end up feeling like you are still in homegoods. i'm 100% with themed bathrooms, but you can still go overboard. so to speak.

    go color and texture that make you feel like sand and water and sky, and fewer 'mr obvious' items.

    Suzq, I think you’re right about the white frame - and others have also suggested too many items around so I took some away - and posting another photo, Denita, as requested

    The paint color, btw, is Benjamin Moore Gossamer Blue

    Yes, the mirror is a bit small, but cute. A taller one over the sink would allow everyone, even short ones, to see their faces. The real problem is that you have NO sinkside storage (drawers or cabinet) and the ledge is covered in baubles. I would keep the artwork but clear the ledge of most of the trinkets. If you have some spare room in the linen closet, you can buy a number of small bins for each person to store their own toothbrush and other necessities. Personalize each with a label/name. When they are in the bathroom, they can have their own bin sitting on the ledge. Hopefully, they will learn to put their bins back in the closet.

    I would suggest painting the wood mirror white and the white mirror a navy blue. Wood mirror appears a bit small but hard to tell without a straight on shot of it with sink. Nice bathroom tho.

    ^Agree 100% with felizlady.

    Here are a couple of additional storage ideas:

    ^Floating shelves over toilet or as shown by the mirror (different style mirror)

    ^shelf insert to the right of your sink. Can be done in any style.

    Lamps Plus has a. 30” round ( may be too large for over your sink since it’s in the corner ) starfish antiqued mirror that might look good in there if you don’t paint your present one white .... sorry I can’t load a pic of it on here. Just Google starfish mirror on their site.

    Larger mirror is a yes and group the starfish together they’re cute but not separate. Lose the other items. Lamp is great. I’d replace the white frame and the other with just 1 larger. Very nice bathroom btw

    Shelves are cumbersome it’s a no. Do not add, just replace some items by larger ones. Good luck.

    I live at the beach , two of my baths have recessed medicine cabinet mirrors I bought at Pottery Barn, they’re classic white framed mirrors and look great while providing storage. I had to have my contractor install them ( 3 of them ). Google medicine cabinets on PB....

    I would paint the frame of the mirror white like the artwork frame and keep sink and toilet top clear of anything...maybe soap on the sink and a towel near, but that is all. I too like the color of your walls.

    I like the mirror as is -- natural, driftwood-like.

    Your bathroom is adorable. I like the mirror as it brings in wood tones. I think it's the picture and sign over toilet. I would put salty kisses and three starfish on ledge. I would put two chunky floating shelves over toilet or a large ceramic wall planter with ivy.

    Or how about something round over toilet? A seashell and driftwood wreath?
  • 8 years ago
    Ok I just saw a really cute seashell wreath on Wind and Weather
    For 35.00. I'm done bugging you now. Have fun!
