Kids Bathroom

FIRST... you can not make fun of me for decorating my kids bathroom with rubber duckies.

I stand by the fact that they are super cute and kids love them.

Don't make fun!

Okay, here's the before:



Hey! I said be nice!

Let's not forget when I first decorated this bathroom all children in the house were under the age of five.

man, I am getting old.

Now that we are approaching teenagers (ugh) we need somethin' a little more grown up.

Here's the after:



I know you were hoping for some brilliant design ideas but this post is all about practicality friends.

The key elements were easy, cheap, and functional.

Emphasizing easy.

I gotsta to move on!

The black chalkboard is blank. I had to erase it when our guests arrived since it made me look like a bad mother.

It said something like, "I love all my children, but I especially love those that flush."


I didn't want people thinking I don't love my babies!


(I especially love the ones that take nap too.)


(Just sayin'.)



Shower curtain $15 from Target.

There's no window in this itty bathroom, so bright was key.



I re-stained the cabinet to match the bathroom downstairs.

Rug- $10 from Ikea.

Okay, here's my favorite part:



I ripped out the towel bar.

Towel bars are good for two towels, that's it.

That's for single folks.

Even married couples can't live off of two towels.

Unless they both are bald and have no hair to wrap.

(It could happen!)

I went with four hooks from Ikea.

Here's where the super smart college math came into play:

Four kids = four hooks.

If you have three kids, that's three hooks.

If you have twelve kids, well your just lucky if you own twelve towels.

I didn't get a picture of the towels. They are white just like every other linen in this house.

Okay, I'm done.

New floors is next for this bathroom. Which is at the bottom of the looooong list of to do's. We are thinking whitewashed wood to match the laundry room.

Or maybe I will just one day paint the linoleum.

Can you paint linoleum?

Mr. Wright says I can't paint the linoleum.

I say anything can happen when your husband is out of town.
