I would love to know about the table that stores the toilet paper rolls and towels on top. What is it and where could I find one? It is awesome.
Thanks, Cathy. It’s a chicken coop, cage. I don’t remember where I found mine but it was probably an estate sale, auction or flea market. Sorry that’s not much help, but that’s what it is (topped with a layer of tiles for a ‘placemat’). Good luck!
Is there a tutorial on how to do the bathroom floor? Am probably being thick but it wasn’t immediately obvious from the link sent apartment therapy.
Hi Ellin!
Here’s the tutorial to painting the floor: https://diyshowoff.com/2009/12/12/painting-a-bathroom-floor-a-diy-painted-rug/
