i painted the bathroom

right when you come in our house
there is a small bathroom near the front door
and i mean small
it doesn't even have a standard sized door, it looks like a closet
(think bathroom on an airplane)
and to make matters worse it had the worst paint job EVER
it was a lemon yellow with two forest green stripes
awful!
and didn't go with the neutral paint in the rest of the house at all
when we asked our landlord if we could paint it
she said, "yes, please! it's hardly tolerable" 
here it is before
now it is a nice bright white
 i'm sorry to hurt your eyes with another before picture
i gave this little bathroom some new life with several coats of white paint
it was a doozy to cover those dark stripes
luckily michael is super busy with school work
so i've had plenty of time in the evenings to do things like this
 i would love to paint the vanity white
but since it matches the rest of the house
and we're renting, i'll refrain

isn't this the cutest towel from target?
i love it
so much better, right?
i'll probably stencil the back wall eventually
 or change out the artwork
but for now at least it's "tolerable"
can you believe the "before" paint job?! crazy!!

since we have little kids in and out of the bathroom all day
the door stays open a lot
and it's in such a prominent location (our living room)
i'm happy to be rid of such an eyesore
