Simplicity Parenting: take three (the environment again)

So I am working to make this house more functional and workable for the needs we have.  I am also furiously nesting for this next baby to arrive.  So the bathroom has been simplified....and the hallway is nearly there.

What used to be grey and tan is now white and tan.  Where there used to a monstrous cabinet is a slim mirror.  Where drab curtains hung, now shortened and antiqued curtains hang.
No more clutter on the top of the counter as each child has a small crate hidden inside the cabinet.  


Simply a toilet.
A small hook near the tub for hanging your robe!  


A simple outlet and the Morning Offering Prayer alongside a Marian icon. (this Icon has traveled around the world in our luggage!)


and behind the door instead of a towel bar that has no use, now we have simple hooks to hang those towels.  

Now everyone wants to spend all their time in the bathroom! 

Here are a few before pictures of the entry way.
