Once my Christmas decorations are down and packed away, I’m ready to tackle a new design project. As usual, I want instant design gratification—I want something new right now. The house is rather dull and dark after a month of light, color and holiday spirit everywhere.
The easiest, fastest and no cost decorating idea you can do is to replace the soap in your bathrooms. Chances are someone gave you new soap or bath products and lotions as a gift. Get them out and use them right now! What are you waiting for? Put them in a new dish and you are ready for guests. Put them in a fun container in your own bathroom. Soap is meant to be used not saved. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been in someone’s home to see a dish of lovely soaps for display only!
This soap is divine! Even the box is charming.
I love anything French or lavender scented. My mother gave me box of dainty French milled soaps. Another friend gave me soap from Italy. They both smell wonderful. I have enough to share (some for me, some for the guest bath!).
These French soaps look really cute in a snowman candy dish.
I found this Homer Laughlin dish at an antique store for a couple of dollars.

A basic dish is a nice contrast to a fancy soap.
You can use almost anything as a soap dish. Try an appetizer plate.
My Italian soaps are perfect for the Paris plate!
Perhaps someone gave you a hand made pottery dish.
Rustic soap is the perfect compliment to a hand-thrown bowl.
You can use almost anything for soap. This pewter pedestal dish looks really elegant.
Pile a large pewter bowl will all kinds of soaps, but be sure to use them!
