I’ve started on a new project in our house, and I haven’t finsihed Caleb’s room, my room, or the entry.  This makes my husband crazy.  He works differently than I do (slow and careful), and I need him to do a couple of things before I can move on in the other areas.  It could take him awhile to get to it, and by a while I mean months to years. While I wait for him to get a “round tuit” I get busy somewhere I have the skills to tackle. PLUS I’m learning new skills so I don’t have to rely on him for as much.  For this project I need to learn how to wire a GFCI outlet and change a faucet….I’m so thankful for YouTube.

We have two bathrooms upstairs to service all the kid bedrooms. One we’ve named the “boy bathroom” and this one is for the girls.

It is green, green, green. Green shower/tub, green toilet, green walls, green wallpaper, green towel bars and hooks, and green floor. Combine that with the dark wood, and it’s a bit dreary.

It’s narrow and crowded without any linen storage, too.

I’m keeping the floor, it’s made of thick vinyl tiles that look like glass cubes.  The previous owners chose to accent the olive color in the pallet, but I’m hoping to bring out the emerald and pale blue instead.
We’ve already started removing the wall paper and found some mold issues behind it.  There is also some serious drywall trouble around the shower and window areas caused by there not being a working exhaust fan for years.  We fixed the ventilation, so it’s safe to make some repairs.

Here’s a mood board to show you what I have in mind.

I’m going to finish scraping down the popcorn ceilings, and removing wallpaper backing, but for now we’re headed to the zoo :).

P.S.  I really love that wallpaper, but it’s $150 a roll.  1 roll could make a nice impact in the space, or I could try to fake it with a bird stamp.  What would you do?
