Cover Your Toilet Tank with a Bamboo Placemat

Treat your Toilet tank like a table top or alter top with candles and calming scents by covering it with a nice place mat, such as a bamboo place mat.  By turning the place mat so that it drapes over the front and back of the tank, it will look more like a peace of furniture.  Especially when dealing with a plain and small bathroom, a little detail like this can go a long way.


Drape the place mat over the lid:


And Voila!  Add some calming items to personalize your new surface.


Rotate out different place mats and items to keep your seasons fresh.

Fun Places to Put Your Potted Plants

Bring new energy to your room by moving your plants in unique places, like say, under chairs or coffee tables.  Here I placed some small potted plants under decorative chairs that sit up against the wall.  As long as the plants are being rotated and the sunlight is still able to reach the plants, this is a fresh and playful look for a seating area.

Earrings on Display

Any type of wire art such as this decorative birdcage can be hung from the ceiling for your dangly earrings to be displayed on.  Sometimes you can find crafty wire art like this at craft stores, bargain stores, or the home decor section of a departments store. Small wire baskets and wire pencil holders could make another nice alternative.  Hang the wire in a corner of a room and be sure to hang it low enough so that you can reach it and high enough that it is out of the way so you don't bump into it.  I hung this wire art in an empty corner of my bathroom, which created a nice focal point.  If you notice, I was also able to add my feathered hair clips to the wire.  I don't wear them enough, but at least I can appreciate them by keeping them on display.
