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!
