One of the biggest blessings of moving into this house is that we went from one shower to three. For a family of 7, sharing one bathroom was a huge inconvenience and as the kids grew it would just have become a bigger issue.
The kids bathroom downstairs was one of the last rooms to receive some attention. We've been here almost 3 years and it didn't even have a mirror above the sink until about 2 months ago. It's been neglected and gross honestly. The boys didn't mind, they loved having their own space.
While they were gone this week I decided to give it some much needed attention. Here are some pics of it when we purchased the house. This is a huge bathroom with a stand alone shower. It's such a blessing!
I've never been shy of my love of the ocean. I was 32 before I ever laid eyes on it and I've been in awe ever since. It beckons me. I was so in awe of God's majesty the first time I saw it I literally cried. So I decided to make the boys bathroom a little reminder.
I started by painting the walls a beautiful blue that reminded me of the sky. The tile is a perfect "sand." We made markers with arrows that accurately direct you to the closest beach (notice how insanely far!) Total Cost: $16 1 gallon of paint; $5 for surf board rug; $13 for lumber; $5 for teal paint and a couple paint sponges. Not bad for $39! The boys were giddy.
