Element Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 Our basement half-bath is decorated in antiques and oddities, and I think it would be neat to stock the medicine cabinet with vintage-inspired products. It doesn't need to be complete, as we have a fully stocked medicine cabinet in the main bathroom, but it would be neat to have more than just empty tins.I'm looking for suggestions for usable products that have a vintage look. (For example: Salves like Prid and Watkins Petro-Carbo, bottles like Thayer Witch Hazel, Osma shaving alum, etc.) What do you recommend?

Element Posted November 2, 2013 Author Share Posted November 2, 2013 Don't forget the Belladonna, Opium and Arsenic. We actually have a couple of (empty!) bottles from antique stores that are labelled with things that are now illegal. I don't think we have those though. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's OK, once the kids have had their Vintage Valium Cordial, they sit quietly. :laugh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
