Boy's Bathroom Before & After

Update! Here’s what this bathroom looks like now (above!), after another bathroom refresh a few years later! :-) Below is the first refresh!

Boy's Bathroom Before & After

Boy’s Bathroom Before & After

So, last week I told you I was going to give my son’s bathroom a little facelift.

And now we’re done! Just like on TV.

Boy's Bathroom Before & After

Oh, wait.

No, actually, that was LAST YEAR that I told you were were doing this quick bathroom makeover!!

Holy cow, time flies when you are a busy family. A whole year! Anyhoo…let’s rewind the clock a little bit ALL THE WAY BACK TO FEBRUARY LAST YEAR and refresh our memories, shall we?

When I say it was last year when we started this, don’t be fooled — it didn’t really take a year. We really only worked on it a handful of days. This was just a quick facelift, not rocket science. But we are just too busy to work on it five days in a row. And, it was mostly done awhile ago, I just was kind of lazy about taking pictures.

Boy's Bathroom Before & After

This room I speak of was a fine enough bathroom to start with, better than many I’ve had in the past. It is a new house so we aren’t trying to deal with bad remodeling or horribly outdated rooms or anything. I’m not really a fan of ripping decent stuff out just because you have a whim to have something new, you know? so that wasn’t my plan at all. I knew we could make a few little updates without going overboard, as it was little on the dull not-so-youthful-or-fun side.

While mostly this is my son’s bathroom, my daughters also use it when they are home. So it had to be decorated for all of our kids and guests alike. We decided quirky-fun would be better than new-house-dull, so that is what we set out to do on a small budget and a few days of effort.

Boy's Bathroom Before & After

The first thing we did last year was to change the drawer pulls.  The vanity is a natural brownish wood and I initially wanted to paint the cabinet but after painting all the walls, I just wasn’t in the mood for more painting. Pulls make all the difference so we were fine with leaving the cabinet natural wood. Time and money saved. BOO-YA.

Boy's Bathroom Before & After

I decided I would abandon my usual neutral wall paint and let this room be a little pop of happy as you come down the hall. I have to say I love rounding the corner from a more serious gray hall with white trim (which I love, Studio Taupe Behr all in one) and then feeling a big smile come across my face when I walk in this room.

At first I was worried about how bright the teal – turquoise color was (Lagoon by Martha Stewart) and had visions of people getting headaches and wanting to wear sunglasses upon entering, but by simply painting the shower room the same gray as the hall, it all balanced out just fine. Now I love it!

Then we did a very simple white board and batten treatment on just one wall. It was fairly easy and painless. More math than we’d like, and some snafus with getting the right white paint color, but we worked around it all and got it done. We ended up painting the board & batten and doors White Dove from Benjamin Moore. The walls are Martha Stewart Lagoon. The potty room and hall outside the bathroom is Studio Taupe, Behr All In One.

Boy's Bathroom Before & After

On the sink side of the room, we had some thinking to do. In order to do more board & batten we’d have to do more cutting and trimming and tie it all into the counter. NO! Too much work. Maybe not for you DIY Divas out there, but I have my limits. Or maybe I’m lazy. But really a fancy kids bathroom was not at the top of my list of things to do last year. So, we just decided to make things easy on ourselves and paint the walls.

Boy's Bathroom Before & After

But I really didn’t like the existing Formica back splash. I mean, the counters are not my fave either but why use Formica for a back splash too? It was just too much for me. I didn’t want to go through the hassle of new counters right now and I wasn’t in the mood for a tiling project (blah blah blah), so I found a simple solution at Home Depot. Faux tin ceiling tiles. They were super easy to cut and install. And so pretty! This is an easy-peasy durable non-messy project that can be completed in a very short time. Score.

Boy's Bathroom Before & AfterBoy's Bathroom Before & After

Here is the tutorial for how to do this faux tin ceiling tile backsplash!
Boy's Bathroom Before & After

And it will be no problemo to change out the counters and back splash if we want to in some future makeover.

I thought about framing the mirror too, but decided not to. There is already plenty going on in this room without framing the mirror, so I just left it simple and clean.

Boy's Bathroom Before & After

Then since we decided to keep the existing counters, we wanted to tie it all together so we went with metal and brown frames (that we had around the house) and quirky animal artwork on the opposite wall. We had or made about half the art and the rest came from Etsy shops.

Why quirky animal art, you ask?

Because my kids and I have always cracked up over animals. We thought Funniest Animal Videos was the most hysterical show ever. We laughed ourselves silly reading Frog & Toad are Friends. Now you know why we find so much humor with our puppy Jack. Apparently we just think animals are hysterical. And animals in swimsuits or sweaters are particularly humorous. Maybe we are weird.

Like I said, we smile when we come in this room.

Boy's Bathroom Before & After
And yes, I know one of those pictures overlaps the board & batten and the hook is lower than the rest. I did that on purpose. I don’t like a room to be too predictable, so I kind of like that element of surprise where the picture overlaps and ties into the board & batten. Quirky. Rebellious. Rule Breaker. If you don’t like it, don’t do it. Freedom of creativity is ours.

Boy's Bathroom Before & After

There is probably nothing more awesome in a home than hooks. Am I right? I bought these chunky beauties years and years ago. Glad I still had them, they were another great tie in to the metal accents and they have loads of personality. Not to mention, hooks are just crazy practical. So much more so than towel bars, I think.

Boy's Bathroom Before & After

We put a variety of hooks everywhere we could. And a few numbered ones for our kids to keep track of their own towels or whatever they need to hang there. You’ll also spot a quirky little zebra hook in some of the pictures. Cause every room needs a quirky little zebra. That is what I always say.

Boy's Bathroom Before & After

This is just a little peek at the shower/potty room. That flood of light from above is a skylight.  As I mentioned, we painted this little room Studio Taupe to tone down all the turquoise. It is nice a crisp with the white waffle texture shower curtain and all the white trim.

Boy's Bathroom Before & After

So, lastly, I decided to change the lights above the vanity. I really hesitated because the existing lights were fine and as I said, I don’t like to just change things because I’m a decorating snob or obsessive about my house. But, let’s be honest. I LOVE light fixtures. If they have personality, they make such a big statement in a room. And really, these industrial work-type lights gave a lot of bang for the $25 or whatever they were at Lowe’s. I had to have them.

Boy's Bathroom Before & After

So, there you have it. Our kids’ bathroom facelift. I can’t say it is “the after” as I don’t think this will be the end for this room, but it is done enough for now! And that is always a great feeling!!

Movin’ on!

    This is amazing! I love how you brought personality into a bathroom without making it too over the top. Seems like this will stand the test of time…until you get bored with it, of course. The color was a brave choice, but it turned out beautifully…a risk well taken! I especially love the quirky animal prints. And I LOVE the faux tin backsplash. What a great idea! I’m not sure I’ve seen that in a bathroom before, but I’m pinning it. High five for creativity and originality…on a dime, no less!

    This bathroom looks incredible! Those photos are a fantastic idea for a kids’s space, even for older ones, as I’m sure it brings back many memories for your girls. Love the colors, the light fixtures, and the fact that you didn’t totally change everything! I’m gearing up to give our kids’ bathroom a makeover, so this was really helpful for me in helping me to see that I don’t need to do a huge overhaul in my 1 year old house :)

    Immediately I noticed the light fixtures!! Love!!! I’ve been eyeing those at Lowe’s for some time. They are perfect in the bath. And the clock…great idea. Then I spied the tin tile. (The Formica with the metal trim – blech!) That brought everything together and gave it unity and purpose (right?). You rocked this one! Again! It was worth the wait, sorta. You know how to tease your readers and keep them hanging on for more! HaHa! Love your style and pizzazz in the details!

    Melissa,
    Love the color and the whimsy of the zebra!
    The towels are cute, too.

    I wish I had thought of hooks rather than towel bars. Someday I think the towel bars are coming down…

    We just ordered a steel tile like the faux one from Home Depot. (I love the fact that were able to cut your with scissors.) The back splash looks so finished!

    If my hubby read correctly, he just ordered 1 real tin panel. It’s going behind out stove for a little vintage feel…in our new Jimmy John’s kitchen.

    Your bathroom has given me lots of ideas. Thanks for sharing!

    It looks great and I love the color. I painted an armoire that color recently and love it. A suggestion for the countertops: Behr’s Bellage a Faux (not sure if this is the correct spelling). It’s easy to use, very durable, comes in several colors, washes up with water and leaves a lovely textural surface behind. Ask the paint folks at Home Depot to show you. I’ve used it on two counters I didn’t want to replace and it worked great. Just make sure you seal it with varnish.

    Melissa, I absolutely adore this. I remember you telling me about the animal montage in your bathroom back when we were in Charleston, but I couldn’t visualize it (and figured it was a good excuse to come see it in the flesh). But now I see it! And I love it.

    And yet I may still need to come see it in person.

    You are absolutely right. Towel Bars are worthless, especially for boys. It is confirmed in my household that they will hang stuff on hooks, but towel bars–well they aren’t so good at that. I knew there was a reason that i hadn’t hung up that new towel bar in the bathroom yet.

    Melissa, I love this room and your thoughtful, funny post! And the animal art made me smile–my daughter and I read Frog and Toad all of the time, so I recognized the picture of Toad in his swimsuit (though my personal fave is the story where Toad gets covered in ice cream and leaves and all of the forest critters think he’s a monster). I actually laughed harder over that one than my 3 year old did–not sure what this says about me. :) Amy

    I love this bathroom! It is just the inspiration I’ve been looking for… now I have to see if it will fly with the guys. See we have 3 (yes THREE) teenage boys sharing a tiny bathroom (think the same width as a bathtub) with a tiny sink crammed in the corner. We already have hooks but it is really blah! So maybe this will perk it up a bit… and maybe some art! And it definitely needs a clock!! What is it about guys and hanging out in the bathroom? :) Thanks again for all the inspiration!!

    I stumbled upon this post just in the nick of time! I am about to repaint my kid’s bathroom aqua as well. We moved into our home 8 years ago and I have wanted to repaint the grey walls aqua for several years now. This is the summer I’m geting it done! I was considering Benjamin Moore’s “Lucerne” after seeing how striking it is my friend’s living room, but I think this brighter aqua might be better. The cabinets and accents are all white and I really think this aqua is just right to spruce up this room. I want to make it an ocean theme and I have my eye on some starfish and sandollar art to hang on the walls. Ballard Designs has some great ocean themed decorations. SO excited for this project. Thank you Melissa for the inspiration! :)

    I love the bathroom! I am getting ready to redo my kids bathroom, you have inspired me to think outside the box! I especially love the batten treatment that you did on the one wall. Do you have a board at the bottom of the wall as you do at the top? Could you send me a picture? I have a tile floor and tile on the wall rather than a baseboard. I am thinking I would need to remove the “tile baseboard” and add wood baseboards. any suggestions?

    Melissa, I see this was back in 2012, I am curious has the back splash held up. We look at some recently in Home Depot, but from what it said on the box, it might not do well where there is water. I am considering using it as a back splash in my kitchen. I would appreciate any feed back you have on this product. Thanks, Joyce
