One area of the new house that I don’t absolutely love is the bathroom. I don’t mind that it’s a combo laundry/bathroom. I actually find that quite convenient. And I love that I have a large linen closet inside the bathroom AND right outside the bathroom in the hallway. I also love that the washer and dryer are on pedestals. And that the shower was recently done over. What I don’t love is the previous owner mixed fixtures. WHY DO PEOPLE DO THIS?!?
The door hardware, sink and vanity are all done in oil rubbed bronze… but for some reason the previous owner redid the shower in brushed nickel. UGH! So one half of the room is bronze, the other nickel. This drives me batty! But for now it is going to have to stay this way… so to help me not hate the room, I added a few things. Like a toilet paper holder. LOL I can’t stand having TP hanging out on the back of the toilet.
I also added a cute little rustic shelf that matches the rest of my decor. It is functional in that it has a hand towel rack, which was also missing from the room, but it also allowed me to style it. I added a cute little plant and a functional jar for q-tips and then I created a “Wash your hands” sign done in watercolor blues to match the blue towels.
Now when I walk into the room, I focus on this cute little shelf and I no longer focus on the duel fixtures. We do what we can, right?
I’ve made the sign a free printable, so feel free to use it in your less than perfect bathroom to spruce things up a bit. Or maybe you have the perfect bathroom and just want a fun addition? Bam! Here you go!

Hi there great post!
Just to say I redid our three bathrooms about nine years ago using the rubbed oil bronze fixtures in all three bathrooms! However my husband (ex now) refused to pay for the oil bronzed shower fixtures! I was livid! However they way I arranged the shower curtains and the shower curtain rod . The only time you realize it is the chrome colour is when you get in the shower or take a bath! If it bothers my guests …so be it!
But I get ya !
The printable is awesome!
Thanks
Sounds like you came up with a great solution! It’s a common theme in many houses. I get updating and it’s hard to do it all at once!
Very nice. Thanks for free printables!
