Updated Kids Bathroom

We've been in our house a little over 2 years now. And when I first found this house online I lovingly dubbed it 'pefect house.' Knowing, of course, no house can be perfect unless perhaps you build it from the ground up with an architect and all. Even then, neds and tastes change over time. I digress.

Part of it being perfect house was that no major projects needed to be done- we even liked all of the room colors- certainly enough that they didn't require immediate change. About 6 months after we moved in we did paint Maggie's room. I mean, come on, the girl needs a pink room. :) Despite me loving everything about the house, I still wanted to put my personal touch on it and have small dreams for just about every room most of which include something I've made since I love to craft. Anyway, as things go, time and money have kept us from doing very much.

Daniel took off about 2 weeks at the end of the year and I was determined to get at least one project done! The kids bathroom is a pretty easy fix- no painting required- mostly decoration so I chose that one. We did need to replace the light/fan which broke and the toilet seat lid which should not move when you sit down. Those were reasonably easy fixes (especially for me b/c I didn't have to crawl through the attic to replace the fan-- but Daniel loves an adventure!) Then it was on to the cosmetic.

 

I bought the rug, toothbrush holder and soap dispenser at Target with Christmas money. The bathroom rules sign came from Kohl's and I purchased taht with Kohl's cash plus like $1 for tax.

I really wanted an area where the kids could hang their own towel and I found this idea. So I bought the wood plaques and command strips from Hobby Lobby with a gift card. I should've paid closer attention to her idea because the hooks will be better under, rather than on, the plaques. But I mentally filed the idea and didn't go back to it until I needed the link to reference here. Oh well, you live you learn!
Everything else I had on hand- the paper for the towel 'racks', the frames and white spray paint plus the bathroom printables I printed last summer when I intended to update the kids bathroom. So it was a fun little project and I was glad to check off at least one to-do by the end of the year!
