Who on God’s green earth ever thought that I would be Jodi the Happy Homemaker?! 😉
You guys know I run from all things domestic. Really, it’s the only time I run. I prefer to sit. Wasn’t it Winston Churchill who said,
“Never stand up when you can sit down, and never sit down when you can lie down.”
I say, “Preach on, brother!”
Alas, I have a cute little way to dress up, of all things, your toilet.
Yep, I said toilet.
Martha Stewart and Hints from Heloise move over!
So, you know those little caps that cover the screws that hold your toilet in place? Half the time they are just gross. Eww!!! The other half of the time they have been lost–like those damnable missing socks that the dryer eats.
Where the hell do they go? It makes no sense. It’s not like someone would steal your toilet screw covers. Well, maybe they would. Maybe they lost theirs so they then stole yours. Hmmm…makes one think. 😉
Anyway, I have the cutest solution ever.
And while it seems like a non sequitur, but isn’t, I always have a million salt and pepper shakers. When I have folks over for dinner I like everyone to have their own cute little set. I have birdies, froggies, squirrelies, turtles (no way to really add “ies” to the word turtle).
Well, I recently discovered that I have more salt and pepper shakers than I ever do have dinner guests.
About 2 minutes after making that discovery I walked into my bathroom and saw those ugly, uncovered screws and voila! An idea was born!
Here’s my solution to ugly toilet screws:
Ta dah!
Isn’t that adorable? Okay, maybe more goofy than adorable, but still–it looks a hell of a lot better than a nasty old rusty screw. 🙂
If you live anywhere near a Cracker Barrel restaurant, that’s where I get all my salt and pepper shakers. They are only a dollar and if you just take the little rubber thing out that holds in the salt/pepper, you can stick the cute little guy on the screw and have a happy toilet!
Okay, that’s all the domesticity I’m gonna have for a while.
If you do this, send me pics! I wanna see other people’s toilet decor!

That is highly creative. Mine never go missing, but they ARE ugly.

Why thank you! 🙂 I don’t know where the hell mine run off to. It’s like they are telepathic and decide en masse to make a run for it! So, a girl’s gotta do what a girl’s gotta do and get creative. 🙂

You are so awesome! 🙂 You know, I probably should have mentioned in the post that once the salt and pepper shakers become toilet decor, they should NOT be again used as shakers! 😉 Good grief…can you imagine? Ewww!!!
