Girly Bathroom for about $30!!!

**Warning photo heavy post**

We have 2 bathrooms.  One of which we all hate.  We never use it and we basically store junk in it.  I took "before" pics of my project but I took them AFTER I cleaned 2 contractor sized garbage bags of junk out of there! 

Then over at Fantabulous Cricut the challenge this week is to create something in 3D.   So I was totally inspired to use my Cricut and do my bathroom.  I hope you come over there and join us!

Ironically, one of the things I hated about the bathroom was it was too feminine- pink walls, ceiling, and counter top.  I remember the day I took down the pink lace curtains crying tears of joy.  Then I totally went in the direction of girl with this even after that.  I like this girly better though ;)  There are a few more things I need and need to do for this room but this is where we are at with it now.

My daughter wanted to create a girly bathroom so this was a joint project (mostly she checked on my progress over and over and over and over).  She feels we need a sign on the door that says "No Boys Allowed"- I really don't think that is necessary considering how girly it is!

The photos don't really show the pink well, in my opinion, but it was a drab grayish pink.

For the shower curtain I used the Forever Young Cricut cartridge.  I bought a twin size sheet for $4.84 at Wal-Mart cut it to size and sewed burlap and lace on the top.  The girl is cut with an old white sheet.  Once I cut it I realized there was some kind of mark on the sheet... YIKES.  So I rolled some fabric flowers for it ;) to cover it.  The shower curtain was what I originally created for the challenge.  They I shared the photo with some people I know and they weren't thinking the shower curtain was so wonderful LOL.  So I opted not to make it my design team entry.

I just zig zag stiched the girl on.

I then got some super cheap frames at Wal-Mart for $1.46 that were "brass."  Well, I spray painted them but when I took the glass out they started coming apart.  So I did the best I could to fix them up.  The vinyl inside the frames are all cuts from Forever Young.

Rag banner with purple, white, lace, and ribbon.  This cost me nothing  I only used things I had kicking around.

This is my daughter's jewelry board.  She already started putting her stuff on ;).  We saw some great ones online with different knobs but had a wicked hard time finding knobs here.  We are going to keep an eye out for some at yard sales this summer.  Creating this was interesting to say the least.  I got an old bulletin board out of the basement and attempted to cut it.  The process wasn't pretty... it involved hammers, knives, band aids and mess.  Then for 97 cents I got the mug hooks for her to hang her jewelery from.

You know those home improvement shows where they always miraculously have this fabulous furniture just in hiding somewhere?  Yeah, I watch those and I am thinking what the heck why would you just have that hanging around and not be using it.  I am not money rich so I try to be as thrifty as possible.  We actually did have my husband's grandmother's desk just kicking around!  I love that it came from her.  The jewelery armoire I had in my bedroom.  See that fabulous round mirror?  It weighs like 5 million pounds.  When my husband and I got married WAY back in 1999 ;) we bought a house that was fully furnished.  That was one of the pieces in the house.  A lot of the stuff we got rid of but that mirror was something we hung onto.  It fits perfectly here.

My daughter LOVES to leave me notes.  Many nights I climb into bed and there is a note on my pillow with a blank note card for me to right back to her.  So we got some chalkboards to hang in our bathroom for messages.  THe were 85 cents each.

The above 2 are Pinterst inspired projects.  The jars are all for our "stuff" and we did the silver platters tray in the corner for fun.  The jars and stuff I had on hand.  I paid $1.75 on doilies and another $3 on burlap ribbon.  I had the other ribbon and burlap on hand.  I got the silver platters for a total of $3.50 at Goodwill (it was half price day!)  I had the candlesticks.

Again, we cut from the Forever Young cartridge.  This was a frame I had at home that I lightly painted white allowing some of the color from before to come through and make it look worn.

These are from pieces of that bulletin board and I wrapped the in fabric and embellished.

And finally my DT entry for Fantabulous Cricut this week.  The letter is fron Songbird.  I then wrapped a bunch of flowers to decorate the frame a bit.  I got the frame for $3.75 after discounts.

I got the paint for $8 because it was a mis-tint!!!!!

So you can see this project was super cheap and it was a lot of fun for my daughter and I.

Thanks again for visiting!!!!
