A Place Called Home - Your Native Range — bathroom decor

If you love farmhouse charm, cozy textures, and timeless wood decor, this Fresh Soap & Water Bathroom Shelf is the perfect accent to bring warmth and personality to your home. Handmade from solid wood and finished with care, this piece blends style and function—giving you both storage and character in one beautiful wall hanging.

Why a Wooden Bathroom Shelf Makes All the Difference

Bathrooms are often the most overlooked rooms when it comes to decorating. A simple handmade shelf instantly changes that. The natural wood grain softens the space, while the hand-painted lettering—“Fresh Soap & Water – Hand Towels Free – 5¢”—adds vintage flair that feels straight out of an old country washroom.

This shelf isn’t just about looks; it’s built to last. Each piece is carefully sanded, stained, and sealed to bring out the unique wood texture while protecting it from everyday moisture and wear.

Handcrafted Details You’ll Love

• Size: 22" tall (without rope) × 15" wide

• Material: Solid wood, not MDF or particle board

• Finish: Hand-stained with a rustic, distressed look

• Design: Two sturdy shelves perfect for soaps, lotions, or small plants

• Hanging: Includes natural rope for easy wall mounting

Each shelf is unique—no two wood grains or stain tones are exactly alike. That’s what makes handcrafted decor special.

Perfect for Any Room

Although it’s called a bathroom shelf, this versatile piece works beautifully in other spaces too:

• 🏡 Laundry Room: Store detergent, dryer sheets, and décor.

• 🌿 Kitchen: Display spices, small jars, or herbs.

• 🕯️ Guest Room: Add warmth with candles, towels, and personal touches.

The vintage lettering brings a touch of nostalgia anywhere you hang it.

Pair It With Other Rustic Home Decor

For a cohesive farmhouse look, pair this shelf with:

• Wooden towel racks or coat hooks

• Mason jar soap dispensers

• Rustic photo ledges or wood signs

• Distressed mirror frames

Together, they create that “modern farmhouse” aesthetic that’s both inviting and timeless.

Built by Hand, Made to Last

Each Fresh Soap & Water Shelf is handmade in the USA by Native Range, a small woodworking shop that crafts solid wood décor built for everyday living. We don’t mass-produce; every piece is cut, sanded, and finished by hand to ensure quality that big-box stores simply can’t match.

There’s something special about a piece that doesn’t just serve a function but also adds a touch of warmth and personality to a space. That’s exactly what inspired this handcrafted hanging bathroom shelf—a mix of rustic charm and everyday utility that brings order and style to one of the most-used rooms in the house.

Designed with Purpose

This solid wood bathroom shelf is built to hang just above your toilet, maximizing vertical space without the need for bulky furniture or complicated installations. It features two roomy tiers that can comfortably hold all your bathroom essentials—from toilet paper and mouthwash to grooming tools, lotions, and even a speaker or diffuser.

The thick jute rope adds a natural, earthy feel and is more than strong enough to hold the shelf securely while adding that classic farmhouse touch. Whether you're going for cozy cabin vibes or simply want to warm up a modern space, this piece fits right in.

Small Space Hero

If you’ve ever struggled with bathroom clutter, especially in smaller spaces or guest bathrooms, this shelf is your new best friend. It keeps things off the counter and within easy reach, making your morning and evening routines smoother and more enjoyable.

Plus, it looks great. Clean lines, dark stained wood, and a rope hanger create a balanced blend of rustic and modern that complements any decor. The photo above shows it in action—neatly arranged with daily essentials, stylishly displayed in a way that’s inviting, not overwhelming.

Handcrafted with Care

Each shelf is made by hand, right here in our workshop, using real wood—not cheap particle board. We pay attention to the details: sanding smooth edges, staining each board to bring out the wood grain, and assembling the piece to ensure long-lasting durability.

Want One?

This shelf is available in multiple stain finishes to match your space. It ships ready to hang, and all it needs is a sturdy wall hook. Whether you’re styling your own home or looking for a thoughtful housewarming gift, this piece adds beauty and utility in equal measure.

Enhance Your Bathroom with Our Handmade Bathroom Trays

There's something undeniably luxurious about stepping into a beautifully decorated bathroom. It's not just a place for practicality—it’s a personal oasis where you can unwind and recharge. One of the simplest yet most effective ways to elevate your bathroom experience is by incorporating a handmade bathtub tray into your decor. Let me walk you through why this small addition makes a huge difference and how it can be part of creating a spa-like environment in your home.

Why Choose a Handmade Bathroom Tray?

Handmade bathtub trays, like the one in the picture, aren’t just functional; they’re crafted with care and attention to detail, adding a warm, personal touch to your space. Our trays are perfect for holding all those little essentials—bath bombs, candles, books, or even a glass of wine. Imagine slipping into a warm bath, your favorite book propped up on the tray, candles flickering softly—suddenly, you're not just in a bathroom, you’re in your own retreat.

The Power of Personalization

When you add a handmade piece to your bathroom, it reflects your unique style. Each tray, because it’s handcrafted, has its own subtle characteristics—whether it’s the grain of the wood or the smoothness of the finish. This is not some mass-produced, generic item; it’s a piece of functional art that brings warmth and charm to your space. One of our customers once said, “It’s like bringing a bit of nature indoors, and it makes bath time feel so much more indulgent.”

A Blend of Function and Style

What’s more, a bathroom tray can make your life easier. No more reaching for things on the bathroom counter or precariously balancing your phone on the edge of the tub. Everything you need is neatly organized and at your fingertips. Plus, it just looks so chic. Pairing the tray with matching accessories—like a soap dispenser or plant—helps create a cohesive and stylish look.

Let’s talk about versatility. While most people use our trays for bath time relaxation, some customers get creative! They use them as countertop organizers, placing them on vanities to corral beauty products, perfumes, or even fresh towels. The possibilities are endless, and with our sleek yet rustic design, it fits into almost any decor style—from modern minimalist to cozy farmhouse.

How to Style Your Tray

Need some inspiration on how to style your tray? Here are a few ideas to get you started:

• Spa Vibes: Add a candle, a rolled-up washcloth, and a small plant for a calming, natural touch.
• Reading Nook: Prop up your tablet or a book, and keep a cup of herbal tea nearby for the ultimate relaxation session.
• Glam Touch: Place luxury bath products, a pretty soap dish, and a loofah for that high-end spa feel.

The best part? You can easily change up the look depending on the season or your mood. During fall, think about incorporating autumnal scents like cinnamon candles or dried flowers. For summer, add fresh greenery or a light, citrus-scented soap. The flexibility makes it a must-have for any home decor enthusiast.

Creating Your Bathroom Sanctuary

Adding one of our handmade trays is about more than just decoration—it’s about creating an experience. Whether you're treating yourself to some self-care or just want your bathroom to feel more organized and aesthetically pleasing, these trays do the trick. One customer shared, “Every time I walk into the bathroom and see the tray, I feel like I’ve treated myself. It’s such a small thing, but it makes a huge impact on my day.”

The Artisanal Touch

As artisans ourselves, we take great pride in crafting these trays from high-quality wood, ensuring durability while keeping the look elegant. Each tray is finished with care, designed to withstand the moisture of your bathroom while maintaining its natural beauty. You won’t find anything quite like it in big-box stores, because we believe in creating pieces that make your home feel more personal, more “you.”
