Thanx for the compliment, but your cabinets are more stunning!
Thank you! I should take a new picture though since every grew a bit
Hahaha of course it did! That means you’ve obviously got this habit figured out.Thank you! I should take a new picture though since every grew a bit
Recently added the brush shelf.
Very nice. Did you make that yourself? I love the simplicity of it. As well as the brushes residing in it. I was thinking of something like that for myself but with a second shelf without so many dividers to put soaps and creams. I may have to make one myself as I haven’t quite found what I’m looking for. Very nice.
My wife picked the brush shelf up at Hobby Lobby. I bought the razor rack from an Etsy vendor a few years ago. I've had aspirations of making my own from some remnants of our old playset, but my wife got tired of waiting, so she bought the brush shelf after we had our bathroom painted. I'm not sure she realizes I'm going to need another one soon...

Beautiful decoration for your shave den! If you don't mind me asking, how did you mount the blades to the backboard in the frame? I've been looking to do this, and you can easily use glue or tape for the wrappers, but I'm worried the blades would get too heavy and fall loose...
