New Little Addition

So, in the new home that I now live in (pictures to come soon, promise), I have ZERO bathroom storage space.  The bath contains a shower/tub, potty and pedestal sink…so no cabinet of convenient storage.  Well, knowing me, I laugh in the face of home decor frustration and “make it work”!  I like the shelf-with-baskets idea and found some cute ones at my fave home decor store (TJ Maxx) and got them all organized (you know how I am).  I then realized I still had no shelf in which to store my precious basket collection.  I have looked EVERYWHERE…online and in stores and was getting frustrated and surprisingly desperate.  This is what I had previously resorted to:

Nothing amazing but I thought it was practical and suitable.  Now, here comes the IRRITATING part. I looked in like 5 different Walmarts and Target stores…no luck.  Then I searched the web; Container Store, Pottery Barn, anything really, and nothing! Too big or too expensive.  And then there’s SHIPPING! bleh…

So, in this frustrated state, my Love offered to build me one from scratch! What a lover, right? Well, for this holiday weekend we headed to Athens to hang with the in-laws (planning to build such a shelf), and my fab momma-in-law had a surprise for me!

HERE IT IS!

Isn’t gorgeous!?! It is an antique (my fave) and is in lovely condition! I am going to put in a sheet of screen (as opposed to glass) in the door to keep that country look that I love!

Long story short, problem solved thanks to Momma Goodwin! Thank you, ma’am! Love you!
