Kids Bathroom Makeover

Hello friends!!

I hope your weekend was filled with all sorts of fun & family :) 

We had a pretty nice weekend. 

Hubs took me on a random date night Friday night to our favorite restaurant (On the Border!) and we got a little getaway night.

Plus we sold hubby's old car!

Wahooo!!

Finally. Now it's completely checked off my list and I don't have to think about it anymore!

People keep asking me when little man starts school and I just close my ears to it!
(well... I answer them. I'm not ignoring them- ha!) 

But I'm SO not ready to think about when school starts...for both of us. 

I'm enjoying the summer- and sticking with that right now!!

So...

I thought it high time to show another room reveal.

I have a major room reveal to show you soon 

(can anyone say craft room???) 

but for now I thought I'd show you little man's bathroom. 

Which we redid about a year and a half ago.

Yup. It's taken me that long to get pictures & a tutorial up.
don't judge :)

Here's what we were working with: 

Obviously the main thing that needed to change was that dreaded wallpaper. 

Both of our bathrooms had this same paper. 

Which I guess in wallpaper world it's not the absolute worst. 

But still. Ugh. 

You can see my master bath reveal here and see what we did with it!

The other major thing was getting rid of all the gold fixtures. 

This is the mirror that came in the room and it wasn't ideal for lots of reasons.

First- it was a yucky fake gold color and was peeling.

Second- it doesn't work on that huge wall at. all. 

So it had to go. 

But that required finding the perfect mirror.

Which we didn't for a while. 

We lived with the wallpaper for about a year before I wanted to tackle it.

But I did mess with the mirror to at least tone down the gold for a bit. 

Here's the mirror changed up. 

Definitely a difference but still a lot to be desired...

About a year after living with the wallpaper, 

I decided to tackle it on a whim.

One of those "I can't stand looking at it anymore' projects.

Basically, hubby woke up to strips of gooey wallpaper everywhere on a random saturday morning.

Sorry, hun. 

And after a few days of hard work and little bit of creativity later...

here's the fabulous after!!!

Isn't it a million times better???

The walls had to be textured and then I painted them in SW's "watery".

It was a nice, soft blue color. 

The shower curtain is from Target and was the perfect blend of colors I wanted to use. 

The watery blue, dark browns and soft greens. Plus a hint of yellow. 

Exactly the colors I was wanting to bring into the space. 

My sister won the "Bless our Nest" print and gave it to us. 

It worked perfectly in the bathroom.

Plus I was wanting to add touches of birds because little man (and me) both love them!!

(You can find the print here) 

I gave the cabinets a fresh coat of white paint and changed out the gold hardware with some oil rubbed bronze pulls. 

And I finally found the perfect mirror!! 

My mom picked this awesome wood-grain mirror at Big Lots and then decided it didn't work in her space. 

So it came home with me :) 

Doesn't it look great on that wall?? 

The frames above the toilet were some thrifty finds that I painted a glossy white.

Tutorials on the art inside of them to come later :) 

I added a vinyl saying from Hobby Lobby above the mirror to fill out a little more blank space! 

Here's a few close-ups of the pieces around the mirror: 

Most of the items in the bathroom were found & repurposed in some way.
The easiest way to get pieces in the colors you need- just add spraypaint!!

Item Breakdown: 

Ceramic Bird Eggs: Redo here. 

Chevron Frame: Target Frame that I covered in chevron paper

Ceramic Birds: Michaels

Green Shelves: Thrifted & Painted

Jute Empty Frame: Thrifted Frame wrapped in Jute

'Bath" Wood Art: Thrifted & Painted

White Candle: Accessorized a bit :) 

White Mini Stool: Target Dollar Bin

Birdhouse: Michaels- stained dark walnut

Washcloth caddy: Hobby Lobby

The cute 'Brush you Teeth" Print is from Thirty Handmade Days and I just added it to a thrifted frame that I painted white. 

I also went ahead and updated the outlet covers and other fixtures in oil-rubbed bronze.

The towel holder & toilet paper holder were spraypainted ORB. 

I love all the fun pops of color in here! 

Definitely more of a kids space than the stuffy wallpaper that was here before!!!

Need another reminder of how far this little bathroom came?? 

What do you think? 

It's amazing how a little paint and the right accessories can make a room seem bigger & brighter, huh? 

I hope you enjoyed my little tour :) 

I'll be back later this week to share the framed art how-to!! 

Have a great Monday!!
