Bathroom signage

The house I grew up in was once a dentist's office. So the back door (which is the only door New Englanders use) is actually two doors: one that opened into the house and one that opened into the dentist's office. This explains why the downstairs bathroom has a sign on it. The family didn't need to know what that door led to, the patients did.

So I have a soft spot in my heart for bathroom door signs in old houses. In our house, knowing which door is which is a good thing. We have a typical victorian split bath: bathing in one room, toilet in the other. Guests are not typically invited into the bathing room, but they often need the water closet. So I started a hunt for signs when we first moved in. Believe it or not, good-looking signs are hard to find! I would have loved to stumble upon some vintage plaques, but a twin pregnancy and little twin people are not conducive to antiquing. So I was delighted to find these signs on sale at Pottery Barn some months back. Are they perfect? No. Do I love them? Yes. I think they're adorable. I like that they're different and I think they're fun!

Just another thing we got done.
