Boys Bathroom Makeover - New Gray Paint
Hey There!!
Today I need to proportion with you my present day mission around our domestic, which is the makeover a just gave to my boy's lavatory. I'm sincerely thrilled with the way it all became out, and I'm excited to expose you around the room and explain all of the little info that went into this easy makeover.
If you need a recap, you can see what the bathroom looked like before HERE.
This not only is my boy's bathroom but it's also the main bathroom of our house and the one that our guest use as well. That is why a few years back I made THIS sign for the bathroom door. It helps guest find the bathroom more easily.
The first thing I did to start our bathroom makeover was I purchased this five dollar twin size sheet from Walmart to use as a shower curtain. I folded the sheet over and hung it using 10 curtain clips. There is a plastic shower liner behind it.
I love to use sheets as shower curtains for a few reasons. 1. Sheets, like this one, cost much less then a shower curtain. 2. sheets are longer than shower curtains and I like to be able to choose the length that I want my curtain to be. I usually let it just barley skim the floor. Whereas most shower curtains have a "high-water" look to them. I'm not sure why they make them that way. And 3. Using a sheet allows you to switch up the look of your bathroom whenever you want. I bet you already have some cute sheets on hand that you could easily turn into a shower curtain.
So after my new shower curtain was up, it was time for some new paint on the walls. I wanted to match the paint color to the pretty warm-grey color that is in the sheet. And that is when I realized that I already had the perfect grey paint on hand. I had some leftover from when I once painted my boy's bedroom grey (seen Here) The paint color is called, "Secret Passage" by Olympic Paint.
And just so you're not confused, I have painted by boy's bedroom 4 times now, and twice were in a gray :)
The new gray color that's in my boy's bedroom now would have also looked great here in the bathroom but I didn't have enough of that paint leftover.
Also new in this bathroom is the towel rack shown above. I found an old board in our garage, painted it, and then attached four metal vintage hooks into it. The hooks came from a yard sale this summer. Then I hung the rack at the perfect height so that my boys could easily hang up their towels.
While I had the dark paint out to paint the towel rack, I decided to paint the cross on this medicine cabinet as well. It was painted red previously.
By painting the go from crimson to charcoal it now fits the new shower curtain a lot better.
Also, one other thing that I wanted to mention is that when I painted the bathroom, I decided to go ahead and paint the wainscoting as well as just the wall and I'm so glad I did. Before, the wainscoting was white and added a lot of contrast next to the colored wall, but now with it all the same color it just feels more soft, easy on the eyes and cohesive.
Anyway, so back to the medicine cabinet. This actually was once an old wood jewelry box that I found on the side of the road for free. I gave it some fresh white paint and then screwed it onto the wall. Find the full tutorial HERE.
Here is a look at the inner of the container.
Mostly I simply hold band-aids in right here for whilst my boys get hurt. I'm continually on the appearance out for a laugh new band-aids. I'm even sharing some a laugh band aids I simply got here across at the stop of this submit.
On the opposite aspect of the bathe is some built-in shelves.
On the shelves are just some wash clothes, extra T.P. bottles of bath salts, and my favorite bathroom cleaners....made especially for a "boys' bathroom" :)
This amusing "life is higher in Flip flops" door stopper is from Pavilion Gifts and I just love it sitting on the shelf in right here.
Moving around the room, at the returned wall I nevertheless have my little series of fishing boat buoys striking up right here.
Although, one of these buoys use to be purple, and that day that I had my dark paint out for the towel rack and go on remedy cupboard, I painted over the purple in this buoy as nicely. I suppose it's a incredible idea to apply the equal accessory shade on other aspect in a room as a good deal as you could. It really allows to tug a room together.
And then on the bathroom counter I even have a group of flora as well as a water fountain.
I love water fountains! We really have a pair round our domestic because I love the sounds they invent a lot.
I re-planted a few bamboo in a metal bucket. I love bamboo as it's pretty not possible to kill :)
And then I suppose this is a laugh. I actually have a plant developing in some water in a round fish bowl. I also have some seashells within the bowl.
That antique folding camping chair also came from a backyard sale. It works amazing for holding greater folded towels.
More plants in galvanized buckets, and lastly, my soap dish, that's actually a couple stacked on pinnacle of each other. A bamboo one, and under it is one I picked up at....A Yard Sale! Surprise Surprise.
My home could be naked if it weren't for yard Sales :)
