Bathroom Re-Do!!

Well, it's been awhile since I posted, but wanted to get a couple pictures on of my updated bathroom. We have had these bright daisy digs for a few years now, but I felt like it was time for a change. Besides, I really needed to scrub mildew spots off the ceiling and walls (embarrassing, I know) with bleach and fix some spots where the paint was peeling. I got to work on the scrubbing and scraped and re-spackled some, and then painted (first with two coats of KILZ then two coats of Brazilian Tan-or-something). This process took several days with letting spackle dry, then KILZ dry, then the paint dry. But in the end it was worth it!! I was also going to paint the vanity cupboard, but got lazy and decided I didn't want anything darker than what we already had. I just put some new, updated handles on the doors and it looks alright.

And this is what it looks like now. I love the tan color and it almost matches the orange bathtub and sink - but not quite as orange. I saw this "hearts and stars" shower curtain in ABC back in July and also the valance a while later and decided that I wanted to have it for my bathroom. Of course, I do love red!! I got dark red rugs and the brown towels look really nice. I also found a cute star in ABC and hung it above the toilet. I didn't have anything up there before, and it has a red and off-white checked piece of cloth wrapped around it in a bow, so it matches great!! I am very excited to be enjoying my bathroom now. It is a little darker in there now, but it also feels a lot more cozy than the stark white walls before. I love it!!!
