Our Home: Bright & Cheery Guest Bathroom Redo!

Our guest bathroom also doubles as my bathroom.... and since peter has his own b-room which makes this one mine-all-miiine, that means I got to make it as girly and cheerful as I wanted! If you saw last weeks post on cute, inspirational bathrooms, you might have gotten the "my-bathroom-is-ugly-and-needs-to-be-spiced-up" bug as well! I also wanted to make it more "guesty" - adding nicer things that guests can use & appreciate while doing their biznessssss in our b-room.

Here was our bathroom when we moved in:

Poor little thing hadn't been touched or improved probably since it was constructed in 1961.

There was an in between (after we moved in - before this redo) but I can't find a pic right now..
Anyway, here she is now in all her colorful glory!

Shower curtain from West Elm & bath mat from West Elm, new fancy schmancy trash can from Target, hand towels from Anthro & Bed Bath & Beyond, and roman shade from BBB too.

Yellow shelves from Uptown Country, DIY "JOY" letters - will do a how-to later!, charcoal gray hand towel from Anthro ($8), soaps from Anthro, picture of P, Benson, & me taken by the lovely Katie Norris of KNPA, jars on shelves from a thrift store, other accessories from Uptown Country, framed paper from Paper Source ($2.50 per sheet)

Bar of soap from Fresh, Soap/Lotion combo from Anthro (bit of a splurge, but I love it)

slate tassel hand towel from West Elm ($9)

Milk glass vases & jars from thrift store, soap from the dollar tree (my love)

more framed paper from Paper Source, towel hook thingy from Marshall's I think - I'm pretty sure it was $5 on clearance!

So yes its bright & a tad spastic but it makes me feel all cheery and happy whenever I walk in, which is fab.. and quite impressive for a bathroom. :) Also it smells really good now cause of all the soaps, yay! Hope you like it!

  8. This is especially important of the other kid just doesn't seem to be "taking the hint" that your own child wants to be left alone. When you=re at the PX, pick up a few affectionate or amusing cards, and then send them at random moments.
