It’s Feature Friday! On Fridays, I’ll be featuring one room in my house in its current condition even if there are some things I’d like to change about it. If I do happen to improve something later, I can always revisit it when the time comes. Plus, I’d kinda feel dishonest if I only focused on “finished” rooms in my house. And if what they (the professionals) say is true, a room is never really finished anyways…you’re always tweaking it. Concentrating on just one room weekly should give me some time to tidy it up a bit, too.

Today I’m showing you the bathroom that our boys and guests use.  It sits between the laundry room and guest/play/craft room.  It doesn’t have a window (I wish it did!), so I had to brighten the photos quite a bit…hence the decreased picture quality.  Here you go…

We removed the vanity doors, primed, painted and added a fabric curtain & hardware to the boring builder oak vanity.  Check that project out here.  Several months later, I’m still pleased with the (cheap-o) results!

I hang my toddler’s potty seat from a 3M hook inside the vanity.

Above the toilet is an orchid print (have you noticed yet that I have a thing for orchids in my home?) and open shelf storage for toiletries.

I use small glasses to corral fingernail clippers, q-tips and cotton balls.  My boys use the empty glass for quick sips of water after brushing their teeth.

Across from the toilet are 2 towel racks and a cabinet for storing extra toilet paper rolls.

Beneath the towel racks sits a wooden step stool.  My littlest boy, Everett, uses it to wash his hands at the sink.  I use it to sit on while giving my boys a bath.  And Bear (Everett’s best stuffed friend) uses it to cheer for Everett on the potty.  (Sorry, no Bear in the picture…Everett was napping with him.  All I could find was Sheep.  You get the point.)

That’s my boys’ and guests’ bathroom, short and sweet.  I have plans to add more color and personality to it for cheap.  Keep watching!
