Recently I blogged about my Master bath transformation...sort of a transformation...I used what I had to decorate with..no major remodeling. I had a few emails about my perfume bottles so I've decided to share my little secret. I'm liking some of the large costume jewelry rings that are popular right now. For Christmas this year I got at least four rings from my kiddos as part of my Christmas gifts. I had some of them in the little shelf that's tucked under the medicine cabinet I hung up but I really wanted to show them off when I'm not wearing them. I can't wear them all the time and surely not all at one time....so I decided to take this:
and remove this:
and with this ring I thee
dump you lid for something better looking like this
I then realized I could do this with lots of perfume bottles...so I dumped lots of lids for rings...and when I want to wear one of them...I do!
I got this bottle for free...it was an empty sample and I just asked what they would be doing with it and the saleslady said, 'You can have it". And isn't it nice it's aubergine and looks so good in my bathroom with all my purple and amber colors and topped with a ring!
I even gussied up one of Shawn's cologne bottles (yes his eyes rolled big time...I tell him if only eye rolling were an Olympic event...)
And this little butterfly had no place to land....
so.....
he landed here
This is Ashtons ring (we share)
and here she is wearing it (when the perfume bottle isn't. These are my girls, Kalyn (left) and Ashton (right). Kalyn turned 15 on March 15th and we took her shopping and out to eat that day.

This ring below is a pale turquoise and itsy bitsy diamond ring I inherited from one of my Grandmas when I was in third grade. She had literally gone through all her belongings and pinned pieces of paper with the name of the person she wanted that particular item to go to.
This ring is stretchy so it conformed to the shape of the bottle
Originally I kept my costume jewelry rings in this little cubby shelf by the sink(still do keep some there!)
I had so much fun playing with all these bottles and my rings. I now display a lot of them in the bathroom on a purple transferware plate.

Hi Nancy,
ReplyDeleteI'm the first with my comment, because I write from Germany. It's a great idea to use the rings as an ornament of the bottles. This looks really great. Your bathroom has become beautiful. I also love the decorative plates on the wall. These transferware plates are so versatile.
Wish you a nice Easter time.
