What's on Your...Bathroom Vanity

THE RAVENNA HOUSE This week marks the first post of a new collaborative series called, "What's on Your...".  It's a real-life glimpse into 9 bloggers homes - the good, the bad, and the messy.  Each month we'll focus on a new surface like a bedroom nightstand, a kitchen counter, or a bookcase.  And to start things off today, we're looking at one of the hardest working surfaces in the house:

What's on Your Bathroom VanityLike so many old houses, our little bathroom vanity is a pedestal sink.  We don't keep a lot on it, just a bar of soap, a towel, and occasionally some fresh cut flowers (or evergreen trimmings in the winter).  And since 19-month-old Wilder just started potty training, including washing his own hands, he is often on, in, and under the vanity.

The potty-training thing often involves no pants (to Wilder's complete joy).  So you're welcome for those sweats ;)

For the moments that this bathroom is sans kiddo, our vanity looks more like this:
