apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

ooooh - i love this! i'm so sick i color coordinate my cabinets - even the make-up!

I prefer the old marble stash in the medicine cabinet trick. When a guest snoops in the cabinets all the marbles crash into the sink and makes a racket. That way there is no hiding the fact they have snooped. Not that there is anything in there I wouldn't want them to see. It just fun to put them on the spot.

Is this and urban myth -does anyone ever really look in medicine cabinets???? If so I had better get decorating.

please, we have been decorating ours for years! you might find the dolls from 'full house' engaged in some adult fun, african-american one-armed firefighter barbie in one of her many outfits or who knows what. changing it up is a fun game and amusing to the snoopers. you know who are!

I love this ... I used to do this kinda stuff ... hide funny things here and there ... but I guess I've gotten lazy. At my old place I used to have a glass Ball jar full of toy eyeballs left over from a Halloween party sitting in the middle of my fridge. People would take it out like it was something to eat then freak out when they realized what they were.

Wait ... I guess I do have some weird stuff I just remembered ... perhaps I"ll post them as well... ;-)

I wanna go visit ridge.!

Love the look... never have room in our available cabinets for decor. That 'n' I'm too committed to the time-and-motion studies approach of the 1910s, which dictates that storage must be organized with everything right to hand, most-used items nearest, and so on.

Of course, in our home, "African-American one-armed firefighter Barbie" would have her own firehouse in plain sight...

I have the inside of my medicine cabinet plastered with pictures of sexy people! Often party guests will come out and say "ohhh...i love that picture in your medicine cabinet" without even realizing what they are admitting to.

Maybe they just needed a band-aid???

Ha! I have a small little robot toy given to me by a college chum (Hi, Amanda!) years ago.

That adorable little guy gives me more morning energy and support than anything Venti at Starbuck's.

What a cool idea. I have some mini toys from Japanese "combini" stores that I can display in my medicine cabinet.
