Bath Reveal...Put up your feet and stay awhile!

Sofi and Izzy were so excited to take a bath....

it's been 2 months since the big tear down.

I will not miss tools all over the hall,

a toilet in the tub,

6 toothbrushes in my bathroom,

kid stuff all over my room....

Saved the hooks...

they work just fine.
View from the hall...

Here they are, ready to give a tour.

I wanted a plain white canvas shower curtain.

I bought a package that showed a plain white shower curtain.

It was on clearance.

This was a little bit of a surprise at the bottom.

I wanted to return it.

My family vetoed me.

It's grown on me throughout the day...

Color is hard to see.

We had the 4 kids pick out colors.

This wasn't one of them.

They couldn't agree...surprise surprise.

So Mr. Mark and I chose Martha Stewart's "Brook Trout" in honor of Linnea.

She's Linnea Brooke,

but more often than not,

her Dad calls her His Brook Trout.

We used a different brand of paint...color matched nicely.

Already needs to be cleaned.

Sorry.

4 kids, constantly washing their hands is a good thing.

So pardon the watermarks.

We all fell in love with this one...

Ok you can't fall in love with a faucet....

but this one was a little different...

and we all agreed...

remarkable!
Thank you to all who gave their 2 cents on the mirror....

Majority ruled,

and Mr. Mark was happy with the bottom line...

Cheesy Walgreens soap bottle....

oh well, it was cheap.
Ceiling color was on the back of the "Brook Trout" swatch.

Martha worked her magic...

added ceiling and trim colors to her swatches.

Nifty.

Didn't like the trim color,

and went with our standard,

Vermont Cream.

Makes me happy everytime I say the color...

and I'm even happier to be heading to VT in 3 weeks...

I digress...

This is under the windowsill...

same buckets, new hooks.

Buckets need to be labelled....

With 4 kids,

this has been one of the best things we've done.

Each has a bucket to hold their toiletry needs...

even little sample size toothpastes, floss and mouthwash...all labelled.

If they waste theirs,

they have to buy a new one.

No sharing....

can always tell who leaves theirs out...

works great.

Shutter recycle...great for a little privacy,

and to hide the fact I need to get on a ladder and wash that window...

in my spare time....
Easy curtain...used this before...

birch branch found curbside at neighbors...

hanging with twine on two nails,

3 white dishtowels wrapped around.

Works.

Easily washable.

Easy to change.

Cheap!

Exciting, huh?

Kids can not use the toilet yet.

There is a little leakage.

Mark is ripping it out tomorrow, and trying again.

Floor tiles are new, and since that is where the problem started,

That is where I will end.

Next up...

the exciting Linen Closet transformation...
