The Cs’ Bathroom Refresh REVEAL!! {New Year, New Colors with Behr}

Hey, hey, hey it’s reveal day! 😀 If you missed it, last week I introduced you to the Cs’ bathroom/guest bathroom, aka the least offensive room in our house. When we moved in, all of the other rooms needed SO much work that we just threw up a shower curtain in here and let it be its old, boring self for the last 6 years while we paid attention to every other room but this one. Yes, for 6 whole years we have been staring at this:

So. Much. Cream. The boring-ness kinda makes you want to fall asleep, right? Since we recently tore another bathroom in our house down to the studs and built it back up to beautifulness, we weren’t quite ready for another project of that magnitude, but I decided that I would take a week and give this unexciting room a little refresh. Paint, a new shower curtain, accessories? Yes. Major demo? No.

If you’ve been following along with #thecsbathroomrefresh on Instagram or Facebook, you know that I’ve hit a few bumps in the road this week. First there was the painted-over wallpaper border that wouldn’t come off. Then I nearly sliced my finger tip off with a paint shield. Then while painting the ceiling I got paint all through my hair decided to give myself custom highlights. 😉 And if that wasn’t enough, I waited until the last minute to order the photos I needed and was standing around yesterday waiting for them to arrive so I could take pictures of the room when I realized that it was a holiday. There was no mail, therefore, no photos. Thank goodness for one hour developing! 😀

But even with all the snags and snafus along the way, I really had a blast working on this room over the past week and I totally love how it turned out. Ready to see?

Just slightly better than the big, off-white box, right? There’s color! There’s contrast! There’s texture! I’m lovin’ it! {Can ya tell I’m just a smidge excited?! 😉 }

We went with an absolutely gorgeous color by Behr for the walls– Dreamscape Gray. When I saw it on Behr’s 2015 Color Trends list, I just knew I had to try it out and I love how it pops off the trim and really works in this space.

As you saw in the “before” picture, this room used to have a bar for towel-hanging purposes. Since the Cs are its primary users, though, hooks were much more practical for them to be able to hang up their own towels when they’re done with their bath. (Well, baby C is still too short, but fortunately Con is a good big brother and will help, I’m sure.)

Normally when I re-do a room, the hardest decision for me is what to put on the walls. I don’t know why– I just tend to have some sort of creative block there. But a few weeks ago I got a new light kit for Christmas and since this room has no windows, I tested it out by taking some pictures of the Cs in the bath (from the chest up…with lots of bubbles…) and I just knew they would be the perfect photos to adorn the walls of the bathroom. Love those sweet boys!

Since we took down the towel bar on the other side of the room, we had to have something to put in its place, and this IKEA shelf which once hung in Caleb’s nursery was just the ticket. (Though I feel like it’s hung a bit high, so we’ll probably move it down at some point.)

Hydrangeas have a habit of falling into my cart every time I visit Trader Joe’s {I have no idea how that happens… 😉 }, and they found a home here since they just so happened to match the room perfectly!

I was *so* excited to finally be able to use the peacock wrapping paper you see in the larger of the two frames. I had picked it up in the Target Dollar Spot a while ago because I was so inspired by the colors, and this room ended up being the perfect place to put that palette to work!

The vanity holds just a few more little accessories, and that’s the grand tour! This room sure has come a long way in just a week! {Remind me why I didn’t tackle this project sooner…?} Let’s take a peek at the before and after:

Yippee!! I love it when a plan comes together.

If you loved Dreamscape Gray as much as I did, you are in for a real treat! My fellow Behr DIY Experts have been working with colors from the 2015 Color Trends line as well, and they have some amazing projects to prove it! Be sure to hop around and check them out!
