The Girls Bathroom-Reveal!

We now have the girl's bathroom done up so cute! We are in a place where we can't paint, otherwise we would have painted the bathroom pink and green. But it still is adorable. The only thing left to do is add a thing or two to the wall. I'm thinking of doing a painting or art project. Or maybe even have the girls make a collage of pictures they have done. I saw something like that on Pinterest and I'm dying to try it.

 

We went for an owl theme for the upstairs bathroom that will be shared by both the girls and my stepsons when they stay. My husband had a pretty big hand in picking out the theme but shhh! he probably doesn't want anyone to know he is a great interior designer. So we have an owl soap dispenser. I'm big on washing hands in my house, it cuts down majorly on sickness. We also got them an owl toothbrush holder. Plenty of room for the boy's toothbrushes too.

Then we have a pair of hand towels above the toilet. I think above the towel rack is where I'm going to put some artwork. You can't see but the trashcan beside the toilet is an owl theme too.

Owl towels, owl bathmat and owl shower curtain! The pics make the bathroom look pretty small but it's actually a decent size. The ground is tile which I love, so easy to clean. I seriously looove this bathroom! The girls do too, and I can't wait for the boys to see it as well.

The Girls Room-Reveal!

I am very excited about this post!! I have been working on organizing and remodeling my girl's room for about 2 months now. It was sort of stop and go, I had to search high and low for each piece of furniture. Everything had to be not only what I envisioned in my head but in my price range (of like $5 lol). It finally all came together! I debated revealing it since I'm a perfectionist and in my mind it isn't quite PERFECT yet. But it is at a place where I can be comfortable with it, and if I waited until it was perfect I would never post this. So without further ado.....

 

This is what I started with. The walls were an ugly mint green when we moved in. We had bunk beds that were donated to us a long time ago.

There were a few wire racks in the closet and two mirror doors. We took one mirror door off to create more space. (Its a pretty small room)

We turned the bunk beds sideways so to create more of a flow. We put the bookshelf in the awkward corner behind the bed. Of course we painted the walls pink!

My mom and sister made this beautiful bedspread and pillow sham. (Maybe I can get her to do a guest post on how she did it!) It turned out absolutely gorgeous!! Thank you so much Mom and Kate!

I found this princess castle thing in a storage auction way back when. I kept it for some reason and I'm glad I did. The metal rack came from yardsale. It was a yellowish brass color so I repainted it black.

I'm sure you have seen this toybox before! It was an old green military footlocker Steven had and I remade it. See the process Here. I put all the girl's stuffed animals in the box. The top is also padded to make a bench for reading.

I found some pink Ikea curtains at Goodwill. We put them above the closet to sort of section it off since we removed the doors.

Eventually I think I will redo this section. It's still not "neat" enough for me. But it does look pretty good. I found this wood cube at a yardsale. The 6 tubs on the bottom are from Dollar Tree. I wrapped the middle 3 ones in duct tape. The top 3 boxes are various cardboard boxes covered in duct tape. You can find a tutorial for that Here.

I also found this cube at a yardsale also. There is a bin for undies, a bin for socks and the top 2 bins hold pajamas. The middle right side is Serenity's clothes and the other side is Haley's. This is where I keep their everyday clothes. Their church dresses and outerwear hangs up above.

And finally lets not forget the switch plate. Someone had cut a huge hole when installing the light switch. We had to replace the regular cover with an oversize one to cover the hole.

The total cost for this room makeover was:

Primer (came with the house)
Glidden Paint (Home Depot) $20
Switch Plate (Home Depot) $2
Bedding (present from my Mom)
Bookshelf (Yardsale) $10
