Want to add more dimension to your restroom? Cover mason jars with nets and use the jute ropes to line the top part of the jar. Below is a pic of my restroom,

The two pictures featured below was taken from my restroom. I had purchase the jars at Marshall's before I saw the diy mason jars. I purchased it for ~$8.99- 10.00 each, but you can make it for less than $10.00 for 3 jars!

Both jars: $8.99- $10.00 each
Fish net: $3.99 
My Grand Total: $24.00 (you can save ~$16.00 and spend it on other crafts!!)

You can easily had a tray with towels on your counter top for your guest. The towels can be found at Walmart or Target, I got mine from Target because it was on sale. The seashell tray I found at Ross, but look at your local thrift store, Ross, Marshall's before spending your money at other places such as Target (it's pretty pricey). If you can't find a seashell tray, find a beach color tray  
Towels: 8 pieces for $4.00 (not the greatest material but it'll be great to quickly dry your hands and for display
Tray: Buy the metal tray at the dollar tree. $1.00 (If you have metal accents around the restroom, I would say leave the tray as is, if not you can purchase spray paint) 
Spray paint: any color you desire (blue/mine) $3.69 $1.85 (I suggest getting the smaller spray paint because this is a small project, but feel free to purchase the full size if needed)
Grand Total: $6.85
Here is a picture of my counter top
