While the bathroom is not new, it was designed and built in 2016 with the renovation of our home.

It needed a facelift and I had some really specific ideas.

Some worked

Some did not

The previous cabinet I used for towels, medicines, etc was a hand me down from Mom and Dads house. It was leftover from the previous owners so who knows who or where it came from.

This is the cabinet after taking it out of the bathroom , assuming it would be given a re-do and put up for sale.

I found the perfect cabinet, so I thought to add some more storage.

I gave it the perfect facelift and it was ready to be installed.

It was ridiculous heavy and hauling stuff in and out of the house is my favorite helpers least favorite thing to do, besides hanging things.

The day arrives to bring it inside.

I am so excited.

It’s too big! It sits too close to the tub and the doors can’t open.

Measuring is not my forte.

Emotions are high and it has to removed.

It gets stuck in the doorway and almost falls on my favorite helper.

The perfect cabinet will now have a new “different” home. Oops.

Now what do I do?

There are towels, sheets and bathroom stuff sitting EVERYWHERE and I do not have a Plan B.

Sometimes it just takes a little creativity. My brain swirling began and I took a second look at the original cabinet. I KNEW it fit so that wasn’t an issue.

Months ago, Patrick and I went for a walk and someone had thrown away the cutest spindles. We live in a historic district so most homes are super old. While I didn’t have a plan for them, I knew one day they would have a purpose.

Spindles became new legs and the new cabinet became the height I wanted. It got a new paint job and I painted the hardware to match the new vibe.

And it’s perfect
