the kids' bathroom

I have been wanting to redecorate the kids' bathroom for some time.  We finally got the motivation to do it and I'm so excited about how it turned out.  I found this picture on pinterest of a bathroom with a similar layout as ours with board and batten.

Here is a before picture.  The walls were a hideous tanish/brown.  The curved shower curtain bar was hanging off the hinges, and none of the linens were matching. 
 
 
I love how much brighter the bathroom looks with the white board and batten, the gray paint, and the new can light Jason installed over the tub.  I'm in the process of finding towels that match and I'm going to make the kids new hooded towels.  I'm also going to put a canvas print of the kids in the tub over the towels. 

 
Another look at the old, boring bathroom!

 
This is so much better!!  We got a new vanity, mirror and light fixture.  I'm going to get a gray and yellow "you are my sunshine" print for above the toilet.

 
This area was just a hot mess. 

 
It's so much brighter, more organized, and more functional!

 
I found this helpful tutorial for the board and batten!

I really love how it turned out and I'm so thankful Jason is so handy and so willing to make projects a reality!!

It looks awesome! You've inspired me now, but I guess I should wait until I see what our new bathrooms look like at least!
