My Kid’s Bathroom

Mar

2013

My Kid's Bathroom hasn't been decorated since we moved here nearly 8 years ago and it was definitely in need of a change. Since our home was brand new when we bought it, I didn't need to tackle any HUGE projects, just some simple updates. But even though each piece of this puzzle was easy to transform, it has been sitting incomplete for over a year now! (I'm queen of starting a project and getting sidetracked!) But last month I was contacted by Better Homes and Gardens and they offered to … [Read more...]

Day in, day out, we all use our bathrooms pretty intensively. And if you’ve got young children, as I do, the stresses and strains we put our bathrooms under start to show far too soon. Although there are some great deals available on bathroom suites if you shop around, they’re certainly not a cheap, throwaway item, and the disruption involved in a total bathroom refit isn’t something you’d want to tackle too often either. But with a little DIY activity from time to time, almost any … [Read more...]

Here is another project I made for my kid's bathroom re-do. I bought 2 plain white rugs from IKEA for $1.99 each and simply added some painted stripes to make them fun! Here is how I did it: First, tape off your rug using painters tape. I started by adding a strip of tape to the center of the rug then working my way out so I can make sure the angle of the diagonal was what I wanted. 2. Mix your paint with some water. This will make sure your paint gets into the fibers of the rug easier, … [Read more...]

Make Bathroom Cleaning Easier With a Quick Clean Bucket

by Todays Post 6 Comments

How about a Quick Clean Bucket for your bathrooms? What's the point of a 'Quick Clean Bucket'? If I'm in the bathroom supervising baths in the evening, I can do a quick wipe down and clean of counters and toilets. Or if I have a minute and notice that a counter needs to be wiped down, I don't have to go and grab my big cleaning bucket in my mud room, I just grab what I need from under the counter. Really, it's just a relocation of supplies in a more functional way. I also like … [Read more...]
