Do you remember a couple of weeks ago when I said that I had an itch to re-do my kids’ bathroom? Well, last night the Hubs had a meeting, so I got to work with a can of paint and a brush and went to town on that bathroom. And now, less than 24 hours later, the bathroom mini renovation is done! Well done enough that the itch is over and I can mess with it more as I like.
Remember what it looked like before? Curious George swinging in, and while cute, he never really stole my heart.
And remember the inspiration I found while in Montana?

| My $13 valance and $18 shower curtain…pretty good huh?! |
We’d bought a package of some vintage post cards which I just popped into a $12 frame. I think on 4 frames I spent maybe $50 max.
I had 2 prints like this one of the mountain goat which were an odd size…maybe like 10×16 or something. I didn’t want to have to have custom mats cut because that gets more expensive, so I bought 2 of these glass floating frames for $10 a piece. I like the result with the wall showing through too…doesn’t look as bulky as if they had full mats either.
And just because I want you to see the true humanity of a 20 hour room makeover with just one person doing the work, I thought I’d let you in on a little tip I used this time.
See. I had to move the towel rings lower. They were always too high and I’d never messed with them before. There were MASSIVE holes in the wall which will take a few days to repair for the putty and everything to dry properly, so what do you think I did? Yep…covered them up.
Ps. I’ve got another sailor in the works to send a letter from sea, but I have to be honest and tell you that our first sailor has yet to receive any love from anyone other than his family! Support our servicemen and women? The address for this month’s sailor is below!
love it, even if it's not the Taj Mahal.
Love the bathroom…. And addressing the envelope 🙂
