Girls’ Bathroom Mini Makeover (in One Afternoon!)
Amidst all the traveling, relaxing, and the fun and games going on this summer, let it be noted that I did get at least one project marked off my To-Do list! My little girls’ bathroom, which is shared by our two youngest, was in need of a little refreshing, so one day last week, we got to work on it. It started out that morning looking like this…
And in just a few hours, we had transformed it to this…
The inspiration I needed to get me started was this Floribunda shower curtain I found at World Market. This was just what we needed to add some color to the space.
Since the paint was in good shape and I still love this color (Sherwin Williams’ Diminutive Pink), that was one job we didn’t need to do.
I love how it turned out! And the dots were easy to apply. I will note, however, that the package states that they’re easy to remove, won’t leave residue, etc. BUT–they did pull a little paint off as I was repositioning a few. So, these are staying up for a while.
My favorite part of the room is the wall art above the commode. My mom found these watercolor paintings recently that my dad had painted when they were first married. These and a few other pieces of art he did are priceless to us, and even more so now that he’s gone. Dave scanned and worked on them and converted them to digital files which we could print in different sizes.
And when I put them in some frames I found at Hobby Lobby, they turned out to be the perfect pieces for the room!
I couldn’t love them more. They look like they were made for this space.
I also found a great glittery “Sparkle” canvas and some bright coral towels…
And I had seen this awesome large faux boxwood in a white urn on our Marshall’s clearance aisle for a couple weeks before I realized it was the perfect piece for the center of the counter top.
And this “Hello Gorgeous” clothes hamper (also from Marshall’s) will–hopefully– keep everything neat and tidy while staying stylish too.
I also switched out the old mini lamp shades on the sconces to these new monogrammed ones I made, which I’ll post the tutorial on soon! (So easy!)
Hope you like it! It was all done for under $200 in one afternoon! Now to my next project on the list! What have you been up to this summer!?

Beautiful! I love the dotted ceiling! I used the same dots in my daughter's bedroom, but I put them on an exterior wall and applied them during winter. Half of them fell off before morning. I would love an update in 6 months or so if the steam from the shower made any of your dots fall off! Have a great day!

Oh my! I have wondered about it! So far they are stuck on very well, but I guess we'll see what happens!

Simple changes but they made a huge impact! Love the look! I love that you have paintings from your dad. I have some that my grandpa did and would love to find a good place to display them.

Oh, I love this. Love that shower curtain and how you pulked all the accents together in little pops of color. But that artwork is amazing…definitely my favorite part; love that it's a meaningful memory and modern at the same time with the way you framed it.
