Kids Bathroom Project...

At the beginning of the summer one of my sweetest friends (Tonette) brought me a gallon of green (Water can-True Value, to be exact) paint that she had leftover from painting her home.  It has literally been sitting my the front door since the evening that she brought it over.  I have looked at it, moved it to sweep and contemplated getting to it for the ENTIRE summer!!  The fact is that I am not a great painter...I have to be in the mood to paint...I love the end result but hate the process!!  Well, for some strange and crazy reason I was in the mood to get it done yesterday.  I had a thousand other things that needed to be taken care of but if I was in the mood to paint then I had better just get at it!!  So I did...

Here is the kids bathroom in its before state.  Can you say white??
It is small to say the least but I love the moulding around the top of ceiling.  It is a great architectural element...

This is the opposite wall.  Two hooks and a blank canvas...

Three hours later and I love the end result...

The lighting is a bit terrible in this room but the wall really is painted green.  I added an old  frame and wreath to finish the wall and give the illusion of a window...


For a little added storage and an antique look I hung an old wooden crate above the toilet area.  A few accessories and it was complete...

Because there really isn't much storage in this bathroom I decided to use a wooden box to hold some of the kids neccesities...

It feels good to have another room checked off of my "to do" list.  That makes a three out of 9...I really need to get busy and win the lottery (too bad I don't play).  Sweet improvements-
