Boys Bathroom




It is finally done! I am so excited to share this project.  I love, love, love the finished result.  Seriously.  I love it. So, I don't know if I ever mentioned that when we moved into this house, the upstairs had two rooms that were just the frame of the house, no walls, no nothing.  These are the rooms that we decided to tackle first (when we got to the upstairs, that is).  One of these rooms is now the Bathroom/Library (pics of the library to come later).  The fact that I am mentioning the unfinished rooms is because the house is over 100 years old, so I find it rather odd that it was still "under construction". 

We only had one bathroom and we knew that at some point that was no longer going to fly, especially when the babies started coming.  So, the idea of building one upstairs came to pass.  I had many, many ideas on how I wanted it to be and after a few arguments with the Husb and me changing my mind 50+ times, we finally got it figured out.  So, without further ado . . . . Here we go!

 
 These are some of the pictures after we got the sheetrock up and mudded.  Not too exciting, but necessary, nonetheless. 




After we got the wall and ceiling painted white, we did the stripes.  How cute are they?

I learned how to do these crisp stripes from this website http://theinspiredroom.net/2012/01/05/painting-stripes/  via Pinterest.
Not sure if you noticed, but the window was added after the painting was done.  It took me a while to convince the Husb that it was needed.  You would think for a Volunteer Firefighter, he would not have fought me so much on the safety issue alone.  I am pretty sure he just didn't want to do it, so he came up with as many reasons not to as he could.  I am quite persuasive though . . . and I can throw a serious fit! ;) Joking, of course.
I got the shower curtain from Target. 
It was EXACTLY the color scheme I was searching for, so
 I was super excited.
The picture doesn't capture the whole thing, but I
got the little bench from IKEA. I love the shelf
underneath for extra storage.

 
The vanity and mirror are from Home Depot, as
well as the lighting.  The toothbrush holder and
rug are part of the same collection as the shower
curtain.

I scored the tub off of our local online Classifieds (KSL) for $100.  How awesome is that?!

I got these cheap frames from Family Dollar.  I thought the style was cute, the color . . . not so much. So I painted them.

This is the frames after I painted them and added the prints that I got from Gus and Lula , an adorable print shop on Etsy. 




This print is also from Gus and Lula and the frame is another cheap one from Family Dollar that I painted.

 Well, what do you think?  Do you love it as much as I do?
