Extreme Makeover: Kid's Bathroom Edition
I somehow managed to paint the kid's bathroom yesterday. That's right, 2 coats of paint... all while also doing laundry, running the sweeper and mopping, doing laundry, cooking and cleaning up after meals, and keeping both kids alive and happy. I even threw in some baseball in the backyard for Keegan.
I did the painting while Kennedy took her naps and Keegan played well on his own. He just came in for conversation now and then....
Keegan: "Mommy, there's a present on tv."
Me: "A present? What kind?"
Keegan: "Barack Obama"
Me: "You mean President, not present."
Keegan: "No, I like present better."
(a little later)
Keegan: "Mommy, there are dead dinosaurs in my microwave. Do you want to watch?"
Me: "Right now mommy is trying to paint. Maybe I can see the dead dinosaurs when I'm done." (wondering if she should be concerned)
The orange was much brighter than I thought it was going to be, but once I put the shower curtain and rugs back in the bathroom, it toned everything down.
Here are some before and after pictures. Note that we haven't hung any towel racks back up yet and I still need wall art. I'm going to make the wall art myself using scrapbook paper; I'm going to make monster art to match the shower curtain.
Here's the paint job, at least. I'm so proud that I got this done yesterday.
BEFORE
When we moved in 8 years ago, we just slapped a poster up. Notice it's a wine related poster. I realized maybe alcohol wasn't a good theme for a kid's bathroom. ? :


AFTER
Monster shower curtain:
I don't think it's as bright as this picture makes it:
The toothbrush holder and matching handtowels:
I'm excited about making the wall art. I'll try to post again when I have those done! :)
