the bathrooms in our house needed a LOT of work. the 2 upstairs had the most awful white linoleum you can imagine and the faucets started deteriorating the first time i scrubbed them. we didn't do special to our bathroom but we did do some fun things in the kids' bath. i promised kimberly these TONIGHT! so here they are!
BEFORE:
awful, dirty, i could barely stand to have emery in there to go potty! disgusting floor - and no tub - just a gross shower.
so i enslaved my husband to tear out the nasty shower and hang out with van fixing the new tub (during pretty much the only free month of his life... he loves me!) if van looks little this is because Aaron did it in September.
i love this picture of my handsome boys
the kids were so happy to have their own tub that they couldn't even wait for dad to finish the dry wall
but he DID finish it!
so professional. i'd hire him out, but he gets home at about 11:30pm these days, so he may not be much use to anyone. :)
and then commenced the painting. moral of the story: don't paint your house boring colors if you really want color - because then you'll explode and paint something lime green!!!!what we did:
- replace floors
- tear out old shower and put in new tub surround
- new faucet and towel ring
- paint it green!!
- and of course... new bathroom accessories.
and in case you're wondering where you can get one of those adorable over the toilet shelves for your kids' bathrooms - you can't. because i rennovated a Goodwill special! yahoo!! the first of [hopefully] many projects like this.
BEFORE: (I think this thing was born in the early 1900s. no joke.)
AFTER!!! (sand, primer, white spray paint, $2.50 - usually $5 - knob from Hobby Lobby and a little bit of scrapbook paper and Mod Podge.)
the kids and I LOVE the green bathroom! and Aaron thought I was crazy, but he actually likes it too! :)

Very impressive. Someday, if we ever have a bathroom, I want you to come fix it. You're awesome!
Looks great! I LOVE the green.
I've almost finished a project like your shelf. It's a wooden doll bunkbed that we found at DI for $5. Which primer and spray paint would you recommend?
Damm inoperative ideas you have ....
