Jack & Jill Bathroom – Makeover in Progress

Hello All!

I hope you had the same sun-filled weekend that we had here.  I have been enjoying the blue skies and sunny days that we’ve been getting this winter, as it’s usually gray and depressing. 

I must have a touch of premature Spring Fever, because I’m acting like a hummingbird with A-D-D and have temporarily flitted over to a new project – my kids’ Jack & Jill bathroom.  My apologies for the design whiplash you may be experiencing as a result of my gnat-like attention span.

As in the other rooms throughout the house, this room had flat paint.  Flat paint.  In a kid’s bathroom.  Why?  So, as you can imagine, it didn’t take long for my kids to fingerprint this place up in style, and this room was screaming for a new paint job.  But, since it’s on the opposite side of our master bedroom, I didn’t hear its cries for help until recently.  Cry no more – I hear you.

Mind you, I have more plans for this bathroom, but it’s off to a fresh start.  Here is what I started with – not terrible, but let me repeat, there was flat paint in here, and there is no window in this space, so I wanted it to be lighter and brighter.

The towel bar had come halfway off the wall, so I pulled it off and patched the holes.  The idea of a towel bar in a kid’s bathroom is kind of an oxymoron isn’t it?  You can my meager attempt at getting my kids to hang up their towels in the photo below.  

I’m going with a different approach moving forward.  I have a plan.

This little over-the-toilet thingamajig was here when we bought the house.  I have more ideas for this area as well.

First things first.  Paint!

In the midst of all of this paint madness, I even reorganized the linen closet.  I didn’t take a before picture, but you can use your imagination.  If you’ve seen one cluttered linen closet, you’ve seen them all, right?
