Kid's Bathroom

Well, I've update the 'theme' in the kid's bathroom

from duckies to

fishies!

The kids picked out the underwater theme-

Target had everything they liked-

from the curtain, towels, and rugs.

(The bathroom didn't need a new paint job 

so I helped them pick something that would match the blue walls!).

Okay, that was easy,

the craft part was taking the shelf I had and making it match.

I painted it white and then wanted to add the

characters from shower curtain

 to the shelf to bring it all together.

So, I painted the fish from the bathroom rug onto it.

I am NOT an artist-

but my children think I am! 

They were so excited watching me paint their

favorite characters onto the shelf.

Here's how I did it.

First, I took pictures of the specific animals 

they wanted me to paint.

I think this octopus is soooo cute!

(I painted him without the eye-patch).

How cute is this clam?!

Then I lightly drew the characters onto the shelf

and began to paint them in.

These are the paint I used.

(and there's my couffee cup not too far away!)

Here's my daughter painting on a canvas

while I painted the shelf. 

So, here it is!

Nothing great. Nothing original. Nothing really creative.

But my kids are so proud and they love it-

it makes it worth it =)

On the sides I painted six fish- one for each of my children-

the little ones chose which fish represented them!
