Bathroom Makeover

I had posted earlier about my bathroom makeover (and fiasco- paint spilling everywhere) and it's pretty much finished so I wanted to post about it.

After seeing Jeni's kids' bathroom it inspired me to redo our kid bathroom. I found this picture online and this is what Jeni did to her bathroom too. She added the beadboard and hooks. We had a towel bar, but you can only fit 2 towels on it so I had to have another over the door thing to hold another towel. This idea with the hooks you can fit all the towels along the wall. Love it.

Before Picture:

I almost forgot to take a picture so this shows what the wall color was like. It was a bright yellow that matched the ducks on the curtain. It was the 2nd time I painted it yellow trying to find a nice yellow. Well, I still wasn't happy with it years ago when I painted it, but left it because I was sick of painting the room.

After Picture:

Tada! The walls glow kinda like the yellow one's, but the color is more fun and we all like it. Kate says it's her favorite color. I found the shower curtain at Target and then color matched the paint at Walmart. I got the beadboard and had it cut at Home Depot. When I got home, the wall was not straight along one edge so the beadboard was crooked, which meant I couldn't get it put up like I wanted to before Kyle got home. It ended up turning into a bigger project. We had to cut the beadboard more and put LOTS of caulking around the baseboard to hide the discrepancy. After painting it 4 times (2 times with one color of white that was too flat and not white enough and then another 2 times with a semi-gloss white) I was done! Painting beadboard is a lot of work! I still want to put up pictures and a vinyl saying above the beadboard wall to complete it.

We put 3 hooks on the wall, the door opens and is next to the pink towel. It's also nice because the kids can hang up there own towel now.
