The Best bathroom accessories from Amazon
I don't know about you guys, but in our house we are total Amazon Prime junkies. Why get out of your pajamas and trudge to an actual store when you can get everything delivered to your house. For free. In two days. Amiright?!
Amazon isn't exactly the first source that springs to mind when I think of house-related purchases, but I realized that almost all of the accessories in both of our bathrooms came from Amazon! Not only do we absolutely love all of these products, but they were all super affordable too - can't beat that! Check out our favorites below.

MASTER BATHROOM
We have this guy (x2) in our master bathroom and couldn't love it more. These faucets were easy to install, have held up fabulously over the last two years, and look pretty fantastic if I do say so myself. For just over 50 bucks, these are a definite winner! We also got the matching drains to go with them, and our vessel sinks. Whew!
The light fixtures in our master bath are also from - you guessed it - Amazon! I love the look of school house lights, but man can they get pricey. I found these two that together are under $100. It says they are oil rubbed bronze, but they really read as more of a matte black light fixture - which I prefer.
I wanted to find a matte black shower curtain rod, and ended up purchasing the same one for both our master and the guest bathroom because I liked it that much.
GUEST BATHROOM
Speaking of our guest bathroom...as I started writing this post I realized that the vast majority of stuff in there was also purchased on Amazon. Ha. Like our faucet, drain, sink, light fixture, shower curtain rod, toilet paper holder.... yeesh!

The Low Down on Slate Appliances
When we bought our house and decided to rip out and totally redo our kitchen, we knew we'd have to consider appliances, since we weren't loving the creepy, dirty, old ones that came with the place. Ha. The default for kitchen appliances seems to be stainless steel, but I'm just not a big fan.

Ha. The default for kitchen appliances seems to be stainless steel, but I'm just not a big fan. As a hater of all things silver, I wasn't really feeling a bunch of huge, silver appliances in our kitchen.
Slate appliances had been on the outskirts of my radar, but when we actually went appliance shopping, both Ryan and I fell hard for them. We love the deep gray color and the matte finish. Pretty much everyone that comes into our house has commented on them or asked about them!
Our Slate Appliances in action when we first moved in!
So what's the deal with slate appliances? Their classic yet distinct look makes slate appliances a great option for anyone who's looking for stainless alternatives. The slate finish has actually been around since 2012, but hasn't quite reached mainstream popularity levels yet. GE is the only company that manufactures this particular finish, and their line includes all of the major appliances, such as refrigerators, gas and electric ranges, dishwashers, and a microwave.
The GE slate line is sold at most major retailers, such as Lowe’s, Home Depot, and Sears, but you can get the slate finish appliances for hundreds of dollars less by shopping at certain online retailers, such as Appliances Connection or Abt. We got our refrigerator and dishwasher from the Sears' Outlet, which saved us a lot of dough. Our range was ordered online from Appliances Connection, and we got a great deal on that as well! It's always worth shopping around online to see what kind of savings you can find - especially for big purchases!
What differentiates slate from other common appliance finishes? The color is unique; a deep gray that is matte rather than shiny. Unlike stainless steel, slate appliances are in fact magnetic. Another advantage the slate finish has over stainless is the fact that it’s “smudge-proof” and won’t get fingerprints all over it. Where a stainless steel fridge can quickly look messy and require cleaning, slate maintains its clean appearance.

We love our slate appliances, and would buy them again in a heartbeat! (Edited to add: we now live in our new house, and bought slate appliances again - check them out on our instagram page!) I know I've discussed mostly aesthetics, but they actually do their jobs pretty well too. ;)
