room idea: boho bathroom decor.

Today I was in the mood for a crisp, fresh bathroom. No particular reason, just felt like pulling one together. To ground this space, I added some wooden elements meant to be placed on either side of the room. Mint is my new "it" color and I'm loving it paired with coral and chartreuse. 

tip: Replacing the mirror is one of the easiest ways to update your bathroom. So forget the lighting (if your budget needs you to) and find a mirror with personality.

round wall hooks

After searching around for some new accessories, I came across these wall hooks from Schoolhouse Electric. I fell in love with the look, just not the price tag. $40 for four little wall hooks? Please.


Days went by and I couldn't stop thinking about them. I loved the colors for my bedroom and needed something exactly like these for my more delicate jewelry. So, instead of biting the bullet and purchasing, I figured out a way to make them. The whole project? Under $10. Not too shabby.





supply list
4 wooden plaques from Michaels (59¢ each)
4 curtain hooks from Lowe's ($1 each)
4 acrylic paint colors
Screwdriver
Drill
4 long screws

how to 
1. Paint plaques desired colors and let dry.
2. Screw in first screw to secure curtain hooks.
3. Drill a thin hole through the second screw opening and into the wall where you'd like to hang.
4. Screw in the longer screws through the second screw opening.
