Vintage Inspired Bathroom with Recycled Decor

If my husband comes home trying to figure out where I moved things now, he's going to have a cow.  Well he better grab his lasso, because I'm in for another DIY adventure :)

I hate to throw away wine bottles, love the shape and I know there is something I can use them for.....I started removing the labels by simply adding hot water INSIDE of the bottle, then soaking the entire bottle in hot water for a few hours until the labels could slip right off.  The remaining goop was removed with a brillo pad - so easy!

Anyway, before I even thought about giving my bathroom "another" makeover, I started with one bottle and moved on to two bottles, then thought to myself...OMG! I can redecorate my bathroom again with a vintage inspired theme....

This is how it started.....

I poured white paint (I already had this paint, otherwise I would've taken a trip to Home Depot).  I swooshed around until the bottle was completely covered inside then just placed it upside down so that the remaining paint could pour out.

Then I took a trip to Michaels and purchased these cute little vintage keys (I had a 50% of coupon - so I was in my glory)

I took the bottles to the bathroom and began to think of how I could decorate using these bottles.  I had some book-boxes, etc. for extra décor.

THIS IS HOW I FIRST SET THINGS UP:

 


THEN OF COURSE I CHANGED MY MIND .....



I'M NOT DONE YET, I STILL HAVE ONE WALL THAT I'M WORKING ON IN THE BATHROOM AND CHANGING DECOR ON THE LONG STEP GOING INTO THE TUB - I'LL POST PICS WHEN COMPLETE...UNTIL THEN...HAPPY DIY'ing
