Let’s face it: the bathroom can be a pretty utilitarian space. But, it doesn’t have to be that way. A few simple updates can transform your bathroom! It shouldn’t have to take a whole renovation to make it your happy place. You can knock out these styling tips this weekend!

  Upgrade Your Linens

From a plush bath mat to super-soft towels, ( If you find frayed towels…it’s time to invest in some more my dears) the quickest and easiest way to level up your bathroom is to fill it with luxurious linens. You’ll smile every day when you wrap yourself in a thick, plush towel and step onto a soft and cushy bath mat. Matching towels too  – It sounds simple, but you may be working with a varied collection of towels in various conditions or states of disrepair. A quick way to dress up your bathroom (and your experience using it) is to get a full matching set or set(s). We did lots of white sets and even a grey set ! I find grey in my guest bathroom makes my guests feel more comfortable!!

Bathmat – Don’t neglect this element, because it does get used every single day! Love this Cold Picnic Torso Bathmat in Cream from Need Supply. It’s cheeky and fun! It has non-slip latex backing. It’s 100% cotton and made in The USA. Purchase it here. It also comes in brown! You can also just get a boob option too.

I discovered Slowdown Studio while Christmas shopping for Lin and ohhhh man, it’s absolute love at first sight!!!!!! Like crazy love..the kind of love that knocks you off of your feet!!!!

Slowdown Studio is the brainchild of Los Angeles-based designer Marc Hendrick. Discovering emerging and established artists from across the globe, collaboration is at the heart of Slowdown Studio. The modern lifestyle brand celebrates individuality and artistry, and the result is a collection of living, breathing works of art that are both functional and beautiful. Slowdown Studio invites you to embrace the slower moments in life.

So people have different love languages!!! And the five established love languages are: Words of Affirmation, Gifts, Acts of Service, Quality Time, and Physical Touch. Well, the other day, a friend of mine was joking around, saying that my personal love language is coziness. Being cozy. Feeling cozy. Having someone engage in cozy activities with me. Not having someone ask me to get outside of my cozy comfort zone.

Yes, it is sooooooo true. These are all things that make me feel safe and loved!!!! Total introverted extrovert!!!

I’d rather be cocooned in a blanket on the couch with my puppies than out drinking cocktails with people-even my friends!!!

Part of this curation of coziness, for me, relies heavily on the use of candles and diffusers. Fragrance really…it’s everything!!!

We wish we could keep our Christmas tree and holiday decor up year-round. No room will ever feel cozier than when it’s filled with glitter, twinkling lights and of course, a decorated tree with beautiful ornaments. There’s something about having twinkly lights on in the evenings that makes us extraordinarily reluctant to leave this one piece of Christmas behind. But I went ahead and packed up holiday 2019! It takes a few days as we do quite a bit but yesterday Lin put the very last box of ornaments in our storage basement. They are just soooo beautiful! And who knows..I might even do something fun with some of them for Valentine’s Day! Our ornaments came from Nordstjerne this year and will now forever be apart of every Ruble-Bacon holiday!!!

Nordstjerne designs home accessories which combines functionality with a hint of dekadence. They are greatly inspired by the rawness of the Scandinavian and Nordic landscapes and They wish to bring that unique feeling indoor with Nordstjerne’s simple yet elegant items that can fit any interior.
