{Mini} Bathroom Makeover




My bathroom changes every other month. . . just like most things in my house. I have a problem, I know.
I tried painting a mural on the wall behind the toilet, I didn't like it and no one could match the gray paint that was already on the walls when we moved in. So, I thought I had to paint the whole wall brown because that was the color I was using to paint the mural, not realizing I could do some fun stripes or something in a DIFFERENT color. 
Still kicking myself for using brown, I just don't think it looks good next to the gray. 
Anyway, I then attempted a second little mural on the other wall . . .
see dandelions below. 
Which I like, I just keep thinking I should have painted it white or some other color. 
Suggestions - Comments???
so glad I captured the sonic care toothbrush in this pic - and in a toothbrush in the after pic. 
that is what happens when you are married to a dentist . . . toothbrushes all over the place:)
After painting ALL the trim and doors in my house white (will NEVER do that again),
I was able to spice it up a bit . . . 
with new curtains . . . thank you Target,
new rug . . . thank you Target,
some white spray paint on old frames and file folders
and a little white bird made from this pattern
 I think I can live with the brown and gray wall  combo through residency now . . . maybe.

  2. It looks perfect the way it is. I like the dandelions in that color. Your bathroom looks far better than my living room ;)
