This Little Stool Is Mine...

[Part 1: What You Can Get for $52.51 at Ikea]

Upstairs Bathroom Updates:

I'll be the first to admit that the lonely single shelf on the bathroom wall looked a little silly. A friend, Franca and I headed off to Ikea last Sunday, where I was determined to spend less than $100. Well, it wasn't too hard because the birch wall box shelves I wanted for Franca's room were out of stock.

I did however get a new shelf for the bathroom. The less deep shelf is so practical and helps the big one look less lonely. I love practical improvements!

Now check out this photo:

Recognize anything? Yes, that is THE little stool. 
"This little stool is mine, 
I use it all the time, 
to reach things I couldn't 
and lots of things I shouldn't."  



This stool is from my grandparents. I've had it for about a year and recently moved it into the bathroom. [You know, so Franca has a place to sit while she watches me shower or pee. (OMG. I'm so somebody's mom!)]

 Anybunny, it has become apparent that everyone had this stool when they were little too. You don't know how many people run straight out of the bathroom proclaiming: "You have my stool!" (which, the first time I heard, seemed a little obvious and gross).
I love that such cute little stool brings back such great memories.

So forget the new shelf. Did you have this stool too?


(Also, backyard reveal. Marc is going to mow the new grass this weekend and take some photos for the post!)
