i haven't been able to decorate much the last few years because i didn't have the space, so i decorated A LOT this year.
since i went just a teensy bit overboard with xmas decorating, i'm going to split the pics up into a few posts.
the first place i decorated was my bedroom, and i posted pics of that tree back in december.
next up was my bathroom, all in shades of purple
i found some ribbon at the $ store and used it as garlands over my jewelery storage.

i used tinsel garland on the mirror, the only place where it wouldn't touch the painted walls - i learned the hard way years ago that garlands sometimes bleed when exposed to the steamy heat of a bathroom!

i used the same ribbon again over the toilet, with a glittery lavender bow in the centre.

the frame is a vintage one that i painted with krylon (the purple frames were what inspired the bathroom colour scheme in the first place), and the mirrored purple candleholders are from the $store.

across from the toilet wall, i hung a lavender glittered snowflake, and a small lavender crocheted snowflake, on the medicine cabinet. i dyed bottlebrush trees to sit beside a small purple chest that holds q-tips.

and below the medicine cabinet, there was the tree

the pink tree came from daiso, it was $5.50 (i <3 daiso!) i searched for a purple tree for a while before finding this pink one. i did find a purple tinsel tree later for $15.00, but it was too bright anyway....

i used some of the same ribbon as garland again, and added a few glittery purple balls that my ex left behind, a few regular sized purple glass balls, and then a package of matte and shiny little lavender balls that i bought at zellers (kinda like a cross between target and kmart). they're "alfred sung", ohh la la!

and of course, a tree topper. a fabulous glittery be-feathered bird clip.

i added a bit of glittery goodness to the closet as well -

the glittery picks came from micheals, and matched perfectly!
and the finishing touch was the doily wreath i made. i dyed the doilies using the same dye as the bottle brush trees, and then molded them into a wreath shape.

i took pictures as i went along, so i'll post them soon!
