Clutter Free the easiest way to start is the tops of the counters using the “less is best” concept.
The day-to-day necessities can be put away in drawers, baskets or containers.

Advice Secrets: Why Safety Matters in Our Bathroom
As someone who recently transitioned to apartment living, I understand the importance of creating a safe and welcoming space in every corner of your home. It’s not just about aesthetics—it’s about ensuring the well-being of yourself and your loved ones. That’s why I’ve learned to prioritize safety in every aspect of apartment living, especially when it comes to the bathroom. I am still struggling with this, I love a lot of decor items as well as carpets, throw rugs etc. These have proven to be safety issues for me and my guests.
In addition to promoting cleanliness and our sanity, decluttering our bathroom is essential for safety, especially in rental properties like mine. We had a speaker here and that spoke of an article that was very interesting. According to Rhett Wiseman Section 8 Real Estate Guidelines, rental properties undergo regular inspections to ensure they meet safety and reliability standards. By conducting routine maintenance inspections and decluttering your bathroom, you can address safety concerns such as mold risks and ensure a safe living environment for yourself and your tenants. You might be asking yourself, “What does that have to do with me and Why do I need to know that”? Well maybe a friend, family member, someone at church or co-worker may need to know this. I am the type that has to learn something new everyday. This was one of those days….
Where Do I Begin?
If at this point you are feeling overwhelmed by the clutter? Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered. Start by focusing on the tops of your counters, embracing the “less is best” concept. Clear away any unnecessary items and only keep the essentials within easy reach. This simple step can instantly create a sense of spaciousness and order in your bathroom, setting the stage for further organization efforts.

Bathroom Refresh at The Cottage

The Inspiration
Today I am bringing some ideas and inspiration to encourage us to update and refresh our bathrooms.
That being said, I will start with the color of the room. The power of paint can easily transform a room. Just that one thing that will breath new life into a room we consider to be utilitarian when in fact it should have equal “room creds”.
Color Changes Everything
Picking the right paint (not just the color) will make the job easier and hassle-free.
Good paint jobs starts with a great primer. So if you are on a budget and you want to get more “bang for your buck” choose a paint and primer combo. In the Bathroom I have used KILZ Paint and Primer and have always been satisfied with the results over time.

My Thoughts on the Color Palette...

Let’s Accessorize
Pops of color (curtains, rugs, towels, the color is permanent and the possibilities for change are staggering).
Picture this: you step into your bathroom, and it’s like entering a canvas of endless possibilities.
