Running My Life: Shopping!

On Friday Little Dude and I did a little shopping. The goal was to find some artwork or shelves or something to go in the hall bathroom I'm planning to re-do.

Here's what the bathroom looks like currently, and has for the last 5 years...

Hall Bathroom - before

Since Little Dude is fully potty trained (YAY!!!), I decided to make the hall bathroom his without it being too 'kiddy' since it also serves as our guest bathroom.

Here is my starting point...

Bathroom Re-do

I found the shower curtain at Big Lots for about $8, the rug at a discount store for about $5, the towels came from Home Goods and the soap dispenser and tooth brush holder came from Target $3 each. So far, so good!

One of our first stops was my favorite thrift store. We looked around for a bit and didn't find anythingfor the bathroom, but as we walked out I noticed some shelves sitting just outside the door on a table. They were not marked with a price so we went back in to ask. This set of shelves was $2!!! They need to be cleaned up a bit and possibly re-painted, but I love the shape. They are going to look great with the shower curtian!

Perfect for $2!

Now the plan is to paint the room the lighter shade of blue, with paint left over from our bedroom faux finish. Then I'll paint the sink cabinet white, replace the faucet and add the accessories. Now I just need the time to get it done!
