Striped Bathroom Reveal

I finished my boy’s bathroom and I’m in LOVE! I changed the paint color from the “builder tan” and did blue and off white stripes. I switched out the brown decor for some neutrals and a few accent colors. It’s made the bathroom SO much brighter!

I purchased the cute bird shower curtain from West Elm.

All of the awesome glass jars are my antique finds that I’m still in love with.

I found the old shower caddy at The Nook and Cranny antique shop in Lehi.

These cute DIY arts were the easiest thing ever! I used Carly Kay’s idea and they are perfect in the bathroom!

So what do you think? You can check out the before pictures here if you dont remember the lovely brown ;) We love it and my sweet boys like their blue bird bathroom!

I’m linking up with these great bloggers

Absolutely L-O-V-E this bathroom. I painted horizontal stripes in my upstairs hallway (gray and white), but I’m in love with the blue and white you’ve done.

I’m your newest follower and would love for you to stop by my blog to become a follower and read about a few of my projects, too! :)

Have a great weekend,

You did such a great job. I am thinking of taking a risk and doing this in my son’s boring white bathroom. :)

Thanks for the inspiration!

WOW! That looks FABulous! Seriously! I never would have thought to do horizontal stripes, but they look great! They give a nautical feel and really open up the room. Awesome job. Thanks for sharing at Shine On Fridays!!

Love the horizontal stripes. Two tones is a great idea. The blue makes the brown come out and the white makes the bathroom look brighter. Great job!
