The Bathroom

So while Mikkele was in California, I decided to surprise her by painting her bathroom. I wish I would have taken before and after pictures, but I guess poor planning on my part. If you can picture...the old decor was tan on bottom, white on top, with black chair rail and floor boards. Around the top of the bathroom was a rustic wallpaper border with a bear, elk, and pine trees. Not so great for a little 8 year old girl. So I made up my mind and decided to go for it. It took me most of the day to rip the wallpaper border down. Thank goodness that was the only wallpaper in our whole house. I finally got paint on the walls about 5:oopm and was up until about 11:30 or so painting. It's a little hard to tell from the pictures, but the bottom is now all black from the floor boards to the chair rail, and then pink the rest of the way up. Then I took my handy dandy cricut machine and bought some vinyl from Roberts Craft and cut me out some polka dots and did some peel-n-stick. It was so easy and I love that if I get sick of it, I can just peel them off.


So I'm not quite done. I want to put some sort of quote on the wall next to the mirror. So if anyone has any suggestions please let me know. I want something girly. Mikkele wants it to say, "It's a girl thing" which is an option, but I just want to do some more thinking before I commit. I bought some black towels and a black rug the other day to go in there as well. So once I get the quote on there I'll take some more finalized pics. I'm pretty proud of myself though. Let's face it...it's like a 3x3 foot bathroom, it's really small, but it's the first thing that we've really done to the house to make it "ours." Also a special thanks to Jeremy with his help watching Granty so I could get this done before Mikkele got home from California. She loved it by the way. :)
