Our House: Girls' Bathroom

      Well, truth be told, I am still in Birmingham, AL hanging out with my friends.  Such a blessing to have friends that say you should stay instead of drive back by yourself while you feel sick.  John is doing work stuff, so my friend, Courtney and I are hanging out with our five friends aged four and under.  It is not for the faint of heart, but it is a delight to do it together.  I will post pictures of our time here in another post.  I took pictures of the girls' bathroom before I left, and thought I might blog about that.  I did their bathroom before I had Bella, so about 8 months ago. I had a great time pulling together a few things and trying not to go overboard.  (This room unfortunately has no windows, so it is hard to get good pictures.)

      Here is the shower curtain that I made.  This was my jumping off point for the whole room.

I saw this shower curtain on Anthropologie online, and sort of fell in love.  Like I obsessed over it a bit and decided I could not, in good conscience, fork over $118 for a shower curtain for my kids' bathroom.

So I decided to make it, and I love the way it came out.  I made it for about $35, which felt like a good deal.  It took a while to make it, because I sewed a lot of straight lines, but all in all, it was not a difficult project, and as I said before, it was the inspiration for the rest of the room.

Then, I ordered a Fat Quarter Bundle from Fabricworm online.  (This is not the one I got, because it is gone, but it has some of the same fabrics as the one I got had in it.)  I like getting fabrics already bundled, because then it is all perfectly coordinated for me, and Fabricworm really does have fun stuff.

Once I had the fabric, I used it to make bunting.  Basically, I googled several tutorials for it and came up with my own way of making it that seemed to work well.

Then, I used it as part of a painting I did.  I just sewed some of the scraps together and mod podged them onto the corner of the painting.

I ordered some personalized art prints from Jones Design Company, one of my favorite blogs.  She is actually a friend of a friend, and I love her style.  I then painted some frames to match the room.

I got plain yellow towels to go in the room, and I am thinking of appliqueing them with a little bunting pattern using fabric leftover from the bunting.  I just have not quite gotten to that yet, probably because I keep going out of town.  Which is worth it.
