Was the color of Prism cardstock I used to match the paint for this room.
HA! So handy to have a cardstock swatchbook. Sometimes scrapbooking comes in handy in other areas of my life.
Yesterday I painted the bathroom, took a quick run to Ikea for the photo frames, Costco for the enlargements, Wal-mart for the shower curtain and now I have a happy, bright, very bright bathroom.
Very bright. Did I mention bright?
Sam wants to know who else has an orange bathroom. Anyone?
The funny part about the bathroom, is that I had that poster of "The Doors of Puerto Rico" in the cupboard since our trip there. I carefully hand-carried it home, so it wouldn't get bent or mangled. I sort-of forgot about it, and then yesterday I realized that it might look good in the bright bathroom. Well, as luck would have it, it is a weird size for framing. No mats would fit it either.
So I took that thing to the sewing machine. I stitched the perimeter of the poster to the backside of the paper that came in the frame. I don't know that anyone would know the difference. Zig-zag stitched right in there. Go look.
Anyway, the bathroom needs a few more odds and ends.
Like maybe a decorative basket full of sun-glasses.

Bright is right... and sooo cute! I just redid my boys' bathroom... we almost have the same shower curtain, except mine is blue tones...
hey ... the bathroom should be a bright, happy place to spend time in, right? lol! i have a similar shower curtain ... with a lot of bright blues, greens, and reds. i love it compared to the boring blue and brown that it used to be. lol!
Love the bathroom! We don't have an orange bathroom...but we did paint the kids bathroom a very bright green...I believe it was called Granny Apple Green!
