Master Bath Potty Room

Wow has it really been a month since I last posted on this blog??? I have taken a break from anything home decor but I have now gotten the motivation back that I needed to get some projects done! Today I want to share a small makeover I did in my master bathroom. Our bathroom has a separate room for the toilet and it needed some major TLC. Since we moved in I hated this room because it was so boring and the walls needed some touch up, so I always would keep the door closed.

 Here are the before pics...

Notice the powder on the floor?  Before we moved in we hired a dry waller to come in and patch up holes in the walls throughout the entire house. This bathroom was no exception to that. I wish you could see just how bad the walls were. I had to sand down part of the wall and paint with a primer before I could do anything else in the room. 

Here is the after...

I started by painting the room the same color as the rest of the bathroom. Post found here, and no we have not progressed on the rest of our master bath plans :(

I took things from around the house to decorate this small space. This room is so small and only big enough for the toilet, so I didn't want to put a lot on the walls in fear it would crowd the space. I put only a few simple touches above the toilet to give it the feel I was looking for. This basket I had on hand and love to fill it with toilet paper. Not only does it look good, it serves a purpose to!

The shelf I had in storage for a long time without a place to put it. I think its perfect for this space.

 The framed art I made and is up for sale in my Etsy shop! 

 

The only thing I bought for this space was the little lighthouse which I found at Pier 1.

I love that I have a place to display our shells from our last Cali trip a few weeks ago...

and one more look at the whole thing...

And that does it for this mini redo! 

Hopefully I can get my rear in gear and finish up the rest of our bathroom :)

Kids Bath Reveal

I am finally getting around to posting the kids bathroom!

I am so excited to share this bathroom redo, it is my new favorite room. 

I think every room that I just finish is my new favorite:)

Ok here is the before again...

Everything in this bathroom was builder standard. 

The bathroom itself was is great shape, but it definitely needed some pick me up.

And the after...

Aww, much better!

I did this bathroom fairly cheap. The big cost was the beadboard and paint but everything else was pretty inexpensive. I showed you how to frame the mirror here which only cost me $10 for this mirror.

I'm still looking for a new light fixture, I haven't found the perfect one just yet.

I whipped up these prints in photoshop and printed them on cardstock. 

I got the frames from ikea for $1.99 each for a total of $6!

The shower curtain and rug came from target.

I had been trying to figure of what to do with bath toys when I saw this basket on clearance at walmart. 

I think it works perfect!

On the opposite wall I hung this "boats" sign that I got from Tai Pan. It was all the wrong colors, but I loved it so much that I painted over it with diluted white paint and navy blue craft paint. Then I lightly sanded over it to give it a bit of a distressed look.

I made the hooded towels following this tutorial. 

It was SUPER easy and my kids LOVE them!

Probably my favorite project in this room are the towel hooks. 

I got these faucet handles at Ace hardware for $2.50 a piece. They were red but I spray painted them orange. I think they are so fun and add a lot of character to a kids space!

and lastly I had extra orange spray paint and sprayed the kids step stool to match.

And there is my kids bathroom reveal.

It makes bath time so much easier!!

The loft final reveal

I have finally finished our loft!

It took me some time to really know what I wanted to do with the space, but thanks to some great comments and suggestions, the playroom is finished.

I added the word "read" above the bookcase. I got the letters from Hobby Lobby and spray painted them red, then attached them to the wall using Velcro. 

I got new chalkboard labels for the baskets off of groupon. 

Yes we do have a separate basket just for action figures!  

I then recovered the lampshade. 

The previous shade wasn't bad, but it just blended in to much.

Notice all of the "art" on the table? You can imagine my frustration when I saw that! All I will say on the subject is that it now has a fresh coat of paint...grrr!

Here is the new shade...much better.

and then there is the curtain. You can read all about that here.

I added some frames to walls next to the window.

The art I found online and just had them printed on cardstock.

I love all of the colors!

And lastly is this gumball machine. I'm still on the fence about it, but I think its so cute. We found it at a garage sale a few months ago and its been sitting in Tatum's closet ever since. I'm a bit scared to put anything in right now. Any thoughts?

Now here is the rooms transformation from start to finish:

and now

This room suits our family needs perfectly and I am so happy with the finished result!

It's finished!

I FINALLY finished my crown molding!!!

It has been such a pain, and I complained A LOT, but now that it is done I am so happy with the outcome!

I spent DAYS preparing the molding for painting...then I spent 2 days painting. 

As I went around taping, I took a magic eraser and cleaned it. As you can see it was pretty dirty...

This made it so that I really only had to do one coat of paint. 

I chose to do 2 coats just because I had extra paint, but some areas I only did one...like behind the cabinets. 

You cant even tell a difference.

As I said before, our house has many weird angles, so it made sense for us to hire someone to help.

 This edge was kind of tricky, but I love how it turned out.

Here are some before and after shots...

Makes a nice difference, huh?! 

While we were at it we did the Master as well.

 This room is SLOWLY coming along. It is still far from where it needs to be, but crown molding makes everything look nicer.
