Coastal Charm...

Wooden Fish - York House, Richmond in North Yorkshire


 These wooden fish handmade from driftwood would make a charming coastal accessory for your bathroom... 

I love their textured, sun bleached style... They would look lovely displayed on the back of your bathroom door or as an articstic feature on a wall...

Simply Soap...

 Soap Dish - Open House, Columbia Road
Felted Soap - Handmade in Turkey
Scented Soaps - Handmade in Turkey

This vintage style soap dish would make an attractive feature in any bathroom... 

Fill with brightly coloured handmade soaps and toiletries to enliven your bathroom... to soften the effect why not choose plain white and natural coloured soaps...
