FUNTASTIC FRIDAY LINK PARTY 555 AND CRAYON BOX JUNK JOURNAL

FUNTASTIC FRIDAY LINK PARTY AND LATE SUMMER IDEAS

Happy 3rd week of August! Our youngest grandkids, Parker and Oakli, returned to school this past Monday, 4th and 2nd grade, respectively. So while summer still has about a month of life, with school starting, it feels like Fall. Plus, Walmart has mums for sale! I love my mums for sure!

I recently had a desire to re-decorate the hallway bathroom, since Staci and the kids moved into their own home. Being a child of the 60s and 70s, I have an infinity for retro and Mid-Century Modern decor. I do like the atomic stars and the black cats of the late 50s, early 60s so set out to find some decor. The finished product, you can find HERE.

I also will be making a few posts about our recent Alaskan cruise--we had a great time! Spoiler: my husband and I WON a cruise while on our Holland America Alaskan cruise! Woo hoo!

Mid-Century Modern Bathroom Re-Do

Amazon Affiliate Links are included in this post--no extra cost to you but I may earn a small commission if you make a purchase from one of my links!

Recently, I decided to go our hallway bathroom a bit of a makeover. I didn't want to spend a lot of money and wanted to keep it to accessories and decor within a certain budget. Being a child growing up in the 60s and 70s (might as well admit it lol), I have always been drawn to decor from those eras or even the 50s. I wanted to do something colorful and retro, without breaking the bank.

I started my search perusing Pinterest for ideas. I then visited Etsy for ideas and merchandise, as well as Amazon.

On Amazon, I found these metal ATOMIC STARS! They are a good quality metal and come with adhesive dots to place on a surface. However, I found that they didn't adhere to my bathroom wall with just the enclosed dots so I added a bit of Gorilla sticky dots to hold them in place. I really do love the color!

What a bathroom redo without a new shower curtain? Since I am crazy about that particular era, I had to add the black cats famous during that time period. This SHOWER CURTAIN

was perfect for the look I was going for. It comes in several colors, too! The BATH MATS came from Amazon, too, and add a great splash of color.

Another view of the shower curtain and atomic stars.

I visited Etsy and found this DOWNLOADABLE PRINT with the perfect Atomic black cat! You can print off various sizes, too. I also ordered various light switches and outlet covers in three colors (pink, turquoise and orange) HERE..

While I was very into the bright colors and black cats of the time, I wanted to honor my Florida roots with a bit of vintage flamingo. I found this cute soap dispenser on ETSY. I find it cute and durable (for the grandkids).

Last but not least, I know a clock seems a strange addition to a bathroom (or maybe not haha) but I originally was going to do a spare bedroom in MCM style. However, I went with the bathroom but loved the clock too much to send it back. You can find it HERE. It comes in a variety of colors and is battery-powered. The black starbursts and Atomic astronaut cats came in a set from AMAZON.. Again, the enclosed adhesive dots didn't hold the cats up so well, so I used my own to secure them.
