A Bathroom Makeover Part 1

So Mr. C (yes I am a goof ball and call him Mr. C) woke up this morning and was delighted to see my birthday wish post for him. We then rushed off to school and I bought 3 dozen chocolate glazed donuts with rainbow sprinkles for his class...he was thrilled. He was also surprised to see part one of his bathroom makeover...


I purchased the squid attacking shark print from Matty 8080 on Etsy weeks ago. When I received it in the mail I was delighted to see that he sent a fun postcard as well. I love to support artists on Etsy, more personal than prints from a store. I framed them last night in Goodwill second hand frames. Goodwill is where I get most of my frames and I'll either keep the frames as is or spray paint to match my decor. 

Now I would like to buy this shower curtain to complete the room...
The Beat Shower Curtain

But this is what I currently can afford...
Stripe Shower Curtain

I'll be making a cafe curtain out of this fabric...

And here is a little print Mr. C did himself that I will add to the collection...

A Mr. C Original 

I am not bragging, but man he really is an incredible artist! I am always in awe and totally envious because I can't draw to save my life. Abstract painting...can do, but not draw. He will draw these massive battle scenes that blow my mind...maybe he'll be selling prints on Etsy someday to a mother for her son who she loves more than anything in the world.

  2. Giant squid art - who knew? Love the direction you're going in - and I do love that first shower curtain option. Have you checked Urban Outfitters? They have some fun options there, too!

  6. Danielle,
    I love that a bathroom makeover is part of your little guys b-day gift! I totaly believe in letting kids have a say in their spaces and have done bedroom makeovers over the years to mark a special b-day for my kiddos too!

    Love all the inspiration, especially the artwork!

  7. oooh i love those prints! and mr. c's artwork, of course, too!
    i love both the shower curtains, but the striped one seems more masculine and like it could grow with a tween to teen boy. i think it is a great choice and affordable!
