One Room Challenge : Week 1 - Gender Neutral Kids' Bathroom Makeover

I am really happy to be taking part in this exciting Challenge for the 'fourth' time. When I began, I had no idea Linda's 'brain-child' would be the ticket to take me away from my decorating stagnation. Thankfully, I have gained motivation to complete each room in my home, with added pleasure. 





For this Challenge, I plan to tackle my children's bathroom. This space, once occupied by my 7 year old daughter, must now be shared with her brother who is 2 years old. As you can see, it is totally 'girly' in every aspect, and needs to be redone to appear more gender-neutral. My son never accepted the bathroom as his, but constantly refers to it as his sister's :-).

Its Current State

Last year, I brushed some white paint on it to gain motivation to start the project...lol.


In preparation for this challenge, I emptied the bathroom of all accessories which had my daughter enquiring as to why it was, "looking like that". My reply was, "...remember I told you I would be doing your bathroom for the next Challenge?" 
"Umm, yeah!", she replied, sounding all excited.

My Plan


I need to change the light fixture, and also replace the accessories. Hooks will be installed in place of the towel bar to make it easier for little hands to manage. To get to the bottom of this, I need to make mention of the floor :-). I plan to upgrade in a very resourceful way, considering the budget does not allow a means of changing it out.  

 Well, good luck to everyone who decided to embark upon this wonderful journey. You will not be disappointed, but in the end feel total and complete fulfillment for all your hard work.
