Kid's {mini} Bathroom Makeover...

Linking up to Kelly's Korner for "Show Us Your Life- Bathrooms". Our kid's bathroom was one of the only rooms I had not painted or really decorated and it was more girly than I wanted it to be, now that we have a little boy. So my goal was to make it a boy/girl bathroom although it's still probably more girly but I tried!

These are before....

just builder white on the walls and minimal decor.
The shower curtain (I already took it down) was a pale green with white polka dots, cute but I was over it.
Please ignore that dreadful looking hallway in the background!!

And after...

I found this umbrella shower curtain on etsy and liked how it had boy and girl colors and thought I would go with a "rain shower" theme-perfect for a bathroom-right! The color on the walls is hard to see in these pics and it looks different in every one but it's this light grayish-blue and I really like it with the rain theme.

I had a book of scrap paper and found these cloud/umbrella/ rainbow sheets and thought they were just what I needed to go with my theme.

After I purchased the curtain I found the same fabric and added it to the bottom of these white towels for decoration.
And then I made a simple valence for the small window.
These pictures were taken last year but I remembered I had them and again, perfect to go in the rain shower bathroom! Don't have any pics of Bennett playing in the rain yet but I'll be sure to add some when he does!

So sorry about the quality of some these pics- this bathroom is not big and I couldn't get the lighting right!

I found these vinyl letters at Hobby Lobby and thought they looked cute above their towel holders.

So it was a small makeover but sometimes just doing little things can make a big difference. I still would like to add more pictures on the wall and I have a small shelf to go above the toilet but just haven't gotten around to hanging it. I'm happy with the bathroom now though!

  2. I LOVE the fabric! Do you know the name of the fabric or the brand? I need to do a small re-vamp on my guest bath to make it kid friendly and I love that print!

  4. I'm jealous of you sewers (or is it seamstresses?)! Either way, I'm jealous. You make it look so easy to pull together your curtain, towels and window coverings. Great job!

  6. SO, I just couldn't ignore the messy hallway in the background. Don't you EVER clean?! ha! only kidding. (I'm always trying to edit out the mess in the backgrounds of my pictures!) The theme is SO cute. Love it. And you really can't say how you made a "simple" valance to put up. Really? Simple? That would take me like a year. Or more. =)

  8. So cute. If I ever get my office put back together, then I am attempting to decorate the now boy/girl bedroom. Maybe an owl theme?
