Bathroom Reveal: Aqua & Yellow Wonderland!



I am TERRIFIED of home improvement projects!!
It takes a lot for me to attempt a makeover of any kind!
When Cutting Edge Stencils contacted me to review their stencils, I thought THIS IS IT!

I decided to tackle the downstairs guest half-bath.


It had been painted a neutral olivish color by the previous owners,
but it was otherwise boring.
Since it's one of the main rooms my guests see, I wanted it to reflect who I am!


I made this fun sign at a Pinterest party and decided it would be my color inspiration!


Since I love to decorate with photos, I dressed my kids in yellow and aqua
and took them to my favorite hill by our house for a photoshoot!


My Zinnia stencil was so easy to use, and I love the color pop and personality!


These fun balls and vase are from Ikea and matched the bathroom perfectly
 after a little help from my spray paint!


I hung my favorite shot in a great white wood frame from Home Goods!
$12.99, what a find for a big frame!


I love live plants in the house and these yellow flowers were perfect to freshen up the room!


These $1.99 aqua frames from Ikea were perfect!
We also framed the plain glass mirror with baseboard!
Great tutorial HERE!


My bathroom feels more like a sanctuary now,
and I'm so excited to show it to everyone who visits our home!

Stay tuned later in the week for a giveaway from Cutting Edge Stencils!!

Bright and cheery bathroom. You would never guess, from the looks of your bathroom, you had an aversion to home improvement projects!

What a great transformation. I like how the basics (walls and cabinets) are neutral but you brought in the great colors with the stencils and accessories. And with those cuties everything is perfect!

I hope you can share a post over at the It's a Wrap Link Party at Artful Rising

This looks amazing. I love those stencils, but my favourite part of this is dressing your kids in the colours of the room and taking their photos. That is pure brilliance. Thanks so much for sharing at our party today.
