Tilly Tour: The Bathroom

If you follow me on Instagram, or if you're my friend on Facebook, you know that we've had some mechanical issues with Tilly and are staying in Austin, TX, until further notice. While we're here, we are doing a bit of deep cleaning to get Tilly in tip top shape.
It occurred to me recently that aside from the people who have seen Tilly in person, nobody knows what she looks like on the inside. I figured now would be a perfect time to share her insides with the world so everyone can see how we live. Since the bathroom is the smallest room (seriously, so so small), I decided to start there.
Before I go into what the bathroom looks like now, here are a couple of pictures of what it looked like before the renovation:

We didn't change all that much during the reno, but what we did made a big difference. We chose a pretty green-blue to paint over the fuggo wallpaper, painted the cabinets white, ripped out the hideous window treatment and replaced it with some simple white curtains, installed a fan in the roof vent, and put in a ruffled shower curtain to add some texture and interest to the room.

Counter with my cosmetics, which get packed away when we're driving. Also a good view of the toothbrush holder I "installed" (aka stuck to the wall using sticky tape. It's crooked).

Shower curtain.



Cabinets, and the fan we (Josh) put in.
We keep most of our everyday toiletries in these two cabinets above the window for easy access.The right hand cabinet has mostly my stuff: shampoo, conditioner, face wash, moisturizer, dry shampoo, etc., plus some of Josh's vitamins. These items are secured inside the cabinet with a tension rod so they don't move while we're driving, and fly out at us when we try to open the door.
The left hand cabinet is mostly Josh's stuff- shaving cream (or "beard lube" as this particular brand calls it), hair gel, beard trimmer, etc., plus toothpaste and first aid stuff. We keep these items in a set of 3 stackable acrylic bins we got at the Container Store for $10 each.

The whole left wall is a giant mirror, which makes it ideal for bathroom mirror selfies.
Nothing too notable about the shower, so I chose not to include it. All you need to know is that it's very, very tiny. Josh and I are both fairly large people- I'm 5'7" and he's 6'3"- so a larger shower is definitely on the wish list for our next home, mobile or otherwise.
