i'm so spontaneous.

so last week while i was grocery shopping, i wandered over to the paint aisle.

and hip hip hooray i found a can of mistinted paint that was 

a. not hideous

b. not flat

c. a really good color that would work perfectly with my new shower curtain

i threw that bad boy in my cart and started making a plan.
as soon as i came home from picking the boys up, i walked straight to the bathroom and starting prepping.
and by prepping i mean, i pulled down the shower curtain.

a piece of kitchen foil makes for easy cleanup.

and no, i could not be bothered to move the boys' bath toys.

the boys' bathroom was one of the few remaining rooms that we have never painted.
the entire house was painted with sage green,  flat paint.
this was the bathroom this summer:

 anyone with kids knows that flat paint is a disaster.
it was covered with fingerprints within a week.
and we've lived here 5 years.
so it was high time this room got a fresh coat o' paint.

the mistint is a grayish-bluish color.
i love it.

while the boys plopped down on the couch to watch pbs,  i quickly started painting, while intermittently finding something (food) to occupy sawyer. 
i've learned to paint good & fast.
by the time aj got home an hour later i had a good chunk of it done.

then i left for coffee with a friend with plans to finish when i got home.
hi-ever, i have a super stud of a husband and when i got home i found him in the bathroom finishing up all the painting.
seriously, i lucked out in the husband department.
and he does not enjoy painting.
at all.
now that's a good man.
he took care of the kids, put them to bed, finished my paint job . . . all while i was sitting at a coffee shop.
and i love how it turned out.

when there were just two little boys.
fin wasn't even sitting up yet.

the new shower curtain.
thank you csn!

 i love the modern design & saturated brown.
it's a really thick, canvas-like material.
i have high hopes that it will hold up to my 3 boys. :)

some of my best projects happen when i don't plan them, i just get an idea & go for it.
a few hours of work totally changed the feel of the bathroom.

it sure makes cleaning toothpaste off the counter every single day much more delightful. :) Pin It
