The Boys' Bathroom

I did a little sneak peek of the boys' bathroom in a previous post with my big ol' belly in it, so here is the rest of it!

Again, the color is a little LOUD but really, if you can't be loud in a bathroom for little boys, where can you?  I wanted to have fun in there and I think it's adorable.  It's also Cal's favorite room of the house.  He runs in there screaming: TRUCK! CAR! TRUCK! So I know we hit a home run with this one!

 Boys' Bathroom: BEFORE

 Boys' Bathroom: AFTER

 

Loud green!  Gotta love it!

 Towels my mom made (told you she's better than Martha!)

 Pictures of cars and trucks

 Fun hand towels and wash clothes with "Cal" and "Andy" on the trucks-- look closely!

 And, the cutest part of this room is the night light!  It's hard to see in this picture, but it is sooooo cute!  And when you turn off the lights, the light of the night light shines right through the red of the truck-- it's really adorable!

 Another shot of the pictures hanging next to the towels:

 
And there's the bathroom!  Are you getting sick of my posts about the house yet?  It's okay if you are...it won't hurt my feelings!!!

The downstairs play space

We have a wonderful "bonus room" upstairs, but I knew I wanted to have a room downstairs for some of Cal's toys so he would have things to play with when I am in the kitchen cooking (or, let's be honest, eating), or just doing things downstairs.

The previous owners had this room as their formal living room.  I thought we were going to use this space as an office/play area, but we were able to use a room upstairs for the office, so it became the play space...and I LOVE it!  I am realllllly happy with how this room turned out.

Play space: BEFORE

 (gauzy window treatments-- again, gone immediately)

 I do love the windows in this room-- looks out to the front of the house

Play Space: AFTER!!!

 

 We are going to hang HUGE pictures of the boys in red or blue frames on the wall opposite of where I am standing.

 

The bookshelf that has bins of fun stuff: cars/trucks, balls, toys, etc, etc....it was night time when I took these pictures (with my phone), so it's hard to see the shelves.  I will take another picture in the daylight so you can see them all put together with cute things on them!

In between the two windows, we put a little table and chairs for the boys.  Cal loves to sit there now with a snack or a book and he realllllly likes to climb on top of of the table and scream TAH-DAH!  Mom is not so much a fan of that....

Another look at the bookshelf-- I think we are going to get another lamp for on top of the white table:

Standing on the opposite wall, looking out-- a bin filled with bigger toys and a mirror low down because he loves to look at himself and make faces- hehe

And the other side, a bin of puzzles and a small little bin for his shoes and boots.  You know this kid loves that bin!  He loves his shoes!

Hope you've enjoyed the downstairs play space!  I will post more when we hang more things.  I am trying to stay on top of blogging through it all.  Isn't it fun to see before and after?  They are subtle changes, but I think it's still fun to see. 

It's coming together!!!
