A bath for the kiddos

For almost 7 years me and Dusty enjoyed the luxury of separate bathrooms but that meant I was sharing one with the kids. One day I finally realized that he was spending 90% of the time in Pennsylvania anyways so it was silly for the kids and me to all be using onr bathroom. So I made up my mind that I was going to whip up a cute kids bathroom during a long weekend. That was 8 months ago. I've just about finished it. I'd like to add a few more thing but I think B&B really like their kid-friendly bath. Here are the before and afters.

BEFORE

Brier all ready to help me

This is what started it all. We had to get a new light fixture because our old one quit working. When we took it down there was a huge hole in the wall that the new style fixtures would cover up so that meant we'd (I) have to patch it and paint.

I was going to go with a jungle theme with green walls, but it was horrible. 1. it was radioactive I think. Seriously, when you closed the door there was a green glow coming from under it. 2. it wasn't very good paint you can see the brush marks on the wall, it was after 3 coats.

You can see in these pictures where we were trying to pick another color. The picture above is where Brier painted the wall.

AFTER
I wasn't planning on getting a new mirror but I broke the other one taking it down to paint. What's 7 more years of bad luck?
