Bathroom Finishes.

Things are slowly starting to come together in the bathroom and I'm getting to make some fun decisions. I ordered our hand towel and toilet paper bars and I can't wait to hang them on the wall. I swear, the bathroom is so small that I may be hard pressed to find a spot but I will make them work!


I ended up choosing the Kraus Aura line. I loved the simplicity of the design and that the toilet paper roll is single post. We are lazy around our house so hopefully this will help the roll actually make it on the holder!

I bought the toilet paper bar at Home Depot Canada online and here is a little tip. They didn't have the towel bar in stock so I checked amazon.ca and low and behold they have the whole line and for a much better price. I ordered the towel bar and two hooks from Amazon and it arrived within 3 days, while my Home Depot order took 2 weeks. Lesson learned.. shop around first!



Since we don't have room for a large towel bar in the tiny bathroom, we are hoping to hang two of these hooks behind the door for drying towels.


I had told my sister that Meg at Loving Albany swore by the Fieldcrest Luxury bath towels from Target. (Just as good as the Restoration Hardware ones that she had once invested in!) She ended up buying me some nice fluffy white ones for Christmas.


I have them all washed up but have vowed to not use them until the bathroom is all finished. Weird, I know. Still trying to figure our the whole shower curtain thing but we did decide on some lighting! More to come on that.

  2. I do weird stuff like not using the towels till the bathroom is done too. I know that living through a major reno (like a bath or kitchen) is inconvenient an painful but it is so worth it in the end. You're going to love your new bathroom - and so and I from the looks of things!

  3. I've got you beat in the weird department - we have towels from our wedding (2+ years ago) that we have yet to use. I just like seeing them folded on the open shelving in our bathroom!

  4. Love it! So glad I could be of help!! And believe it or not, we have the Kraus Aura set in our (basement) bathroom, too! 2 years later and I still love them. Just a tip: our bars required tightening after a year of use - they began tipping down - so keep the teeny tiny allen wrench just in case. Tightening did the trick ;)

  5. Ooh, very nice! I always find that hardware is cheaper online than in local stores for some reason. Really liked the sleekness of what you picked.

  6. I really like what you've picked. And we went with the single post too for our TP holder and I will never have any other kind again! It's genius!

  8. These are very nice sleek designs and would look good in all kinds of bathrooms. I like the fact that you can’t see the screws as this really completes the overall stylish look. You should consider installing a glass shower curtain rather than a fabric one as they are more hygienic and easier to keep clean and look so elegant. What do you have in the way of central heating for the house and bathroom?
