They both agreed on a shower curtain they liked with some cute large flowers along with the coordinating flower towels, toothbrush holder and trash can. We easily matched those up with some solid colored towels and bath mats. I added this all to their Christmas list and gave family some great non-toy ideas. Win! Win!
We were building our house at the same time and I was able to get all of the lighting on my own. We went shopping and the girls picked out these tulip lights from Lowes. They had bronze vines and frosted glass tulip globes. They were already really cute, but I just knew I could make them better ;-)
Lucky for me, my favorite thing in the world is spray paint. I rarely won't buy something because it's not the right color. I look for things with the style and size that fits the space and turn it into what I really wanted the look to be with a few cans of the perfect color. There are so many colors available and so many finishes. You can use it on metal, wood, plastic, you name it. So, why not paint some lights and stainless steel towel holders and hooks, which is exactly what I did!
I very lightly sprayed the light globes because I didn't want to block the light from coming out. I stood directly on top of each globe and sprayed directly down. It almost created an affect where just the part that would be attached to the "stem" and the ends of each tulip were sprayed with paint. Of course afterwards I panicked because we were worried it might be a fire hazard to paint light globes. I got right on the phone with the manufacturer of the spray paint company and we were assured everything would be fine. They recommended we did not actually use the lights for 7-10 days in order to let the paint cure completely.
And, the finished room is all cute an girly, at least for a few more years!
