Fun and Kid-Friendly Bathroom on a Budget!

Here's a shot of the "before": (Notice the plaster peeling off the wall and ceiling...lovely):



After:










Don't forget the before (makes you appreciate the "after" so much more!):




This bathroom was AWFUL when we purchased this house. However, for very little money, we were able to transform it into something really fun. My husband sanded and repaired the plaster on the ceiling, we painted the ceiling a fresh white, the walls a fun green, and added pops of red to make it more fun. We did replace the light fixture, sink, and faucets, but we kept the tile floor, walls, and toilet (although for $12 we did replace the toilet seat). I needed to make this a unisex bathroom so that all of my children could use without them feeling like it was a "boy" or a "girl" bathroom. So green paint was a good choice. My favorite thing about this bathroom? The row of ceramic rubber duckies on the window ledge.
Now if I could just kick the kids out of MY bathroom!
