when we moved into our house 6 years ago the hall bathroom was a disaster. it was the old 60s style yellow tile (different shade of yellow on walls than on the floor) but it was just to much to redo (like taking the tile out) and really the tile was in pretty good shape. the wall paper on the other hand was terrible. my dad so kindly removed it one weekend when they were visiting us. it stayed that way till just recently, just plain white walls.
we had a sail boat shower curtain from our previous apartment that we used and it worked fine. our first born came along and the sail boats stayed. then our second child came and she just turned 2 in June. it was right before her birthday that we (i mean i) started to work on the new creation of a bathroom. i have to give the hubs credit though because he is the one that came up with the idea to do a mickey mouse themed bathroom.
it was a perfect idea and theme because it utilized the yellow tile without us having to change it. he found that walmart had the shower curtian, rug(not the one pictured) and trash can. there was the counter stuff too (tooth brush and soap containers but our counter top is small and i didn't want all that)
once he let me know mickey my mind went to town. so as you can see there is one wall red with white polka dots on it (the dots are decals from If these walls could talk on etsy.) i wanted it to mimic minnie's dress (do you think that is what it looks like?) when on the main wall with the toilet and sink i got black circles to create mickey silhouettes all over the walls. decals from the same etsy shop.
this is the wall above the toilet
oh and for not wanting all the accessories on the counter tops my counter top is a mess. but like i said we aren't completely done with the bathroom. the towels came from target and kmart. thank you lesley and sarah.
this bath rug came from target. my sister got it for an awesome deal. the one we got was just the black mickey head silhouette. i love that one too but it was being washed. notice the cabinet. i painted it black and the hinges white and i really want to replace the knobs. they were not nice and i just shot them with spray paint but really want new ones. the counter top is an ugly marble brown that i have but my hubs thinks is fine now that the bathroom is done. i want a plain white one. we will get it once we save the money and the faucet fixtures that would go perfect with it all.
see how well it all goes with the yellow tiles. the tiles are actually a lot brighter yellow than they are showing up in the pictures. i still have to do something with the wall that the door is on and the light switch but not sure what. i think just a simple red sign that i found on etsy will be great but still mulling it over.
I love it! Makes me want to go to Disneyland!
