Boys' Bathroom Makeover

Last weekend my Mom and I went shopping for a more grown up theme for the boys' bathroom.  The boys and I have been discussing this for a while, since they have a duck theme in there from when we moved into the house when Kyle was 3.  It was definitely time.  When I told the boys we were going to do it, they both dissolved in a heap of tears - they did not want me redecorating their bathroom.  We proceeded to paint it and redecorate, all the while I had a feeling of dread in my stomach.  I felt terrible for taking away their 'ducky' bathroom they obviously wanted to keep, even though during previous conversations, they were ready for an older theme.  Anyway, we put it together after the boys went to bed one night.  They got up the next morning and both shouted "wow - this is the best bathroom EVER!"  I felt like I dodged a bullet there...glad they like their new bathroom!

BEFORE:  bright yellow walls and duck theme




Evan rolling on primer to cover up the yellow walls:

Having their bathroom torn apart meant taking a bath in our tub, which is like a party for them!!!!


AFTER:  Hoopla theme





Their favorite part of the new bathroom?  Personalized cups!  :)
