“Beachy” Bathroom
Posted by melissa on Jul 15, 2012 in bathroom, chalk paint, sewing | 25 comments
My family’s favorite place to be in all of the world is the beach.
The ocean rolling in as I sit in my beach chair,
beside my sweet hubby,
reading the latest decorating magazine,
while my girls play. . .
Ok, back to reality!
We are lucky enough to be able to make it to the Gulf of Mexico every October!
I would love to decorate my entire house in “beach” attire.
(My dream is to actually have a beach house one day, so I should save all of my ideas for that one!)
So, the one place that I could get by with the “beach” theme was the girl’s bathroom.
Here it is!
(This was practically impossible for me to take pictures of – there is no natural light at all!)
It is the tiniest of spaces.
And, yes I have 3 girls that share this bathroom.
Luckily, the oldest is only 12, so it has not been an issue. . .yet!
I did complete one quick little project for this space.
I painted the waste basket with Annie Sloan Chalk Paint.
I just can’t get enough of the stuff!
I already had this plain basket.
I added masking tape for stripes.
I used Duck Egg Blue and then Duck Egg Blue mixed with Old White.
I removed the tape, and had a nice nautical waste basket!
I made the shower curtain “pre-blog.”
It was super simple!
I got 2 beach towels and sewed them together.
Then, I added grommets to the top!
That is it!
So very easy!
No hemming or anything!
I have 3 large mirrors in this tiny space trying to give the illusion of a larger space!
(Maybe the girls will not realize just how small it is?!)
So, it doesn’t exactly make me think that I am at the beach. . .
But, all of the family pictures in here of our times at the beach always make me smile!
Life to the full to you!

This is a very pretty space. You did a great job with the decor! Love the green walls!
BTW, I preordered some MMS paint and wax on Etsy.
The mirror over the sink is to die for!

Great shower curtain, Melissa, and I love how you striped the wastebasket!
I love your bathroom. Using beach towels for your shower curtain was a great idea. Adding all the mirrors does give it a larger look. The one over the sink is gorgeous. I also like that you used family beach pictures. Great job!
Your bathroom is gorgeous!! I love the shower curtain and the waste basket you painted, and I really really love your goregous mirror over the sink!!!
Have a wonderful day:)
Very cute and creative! Love the mirrors!

Beautiful bathroom! Love the shower curtain print. I love the color on the walls. Can you share the name/brand of the paint? Thanks!!
It’s a fabulous bathroom and I can see at least two doing their makeup since there are two different areas with mirrors. I love it. So pretty and the shower curtain is so creative and wonderful. Thanks tons for joining TTT. Hugs, Marty

SO cute! I love the shower curtain and mirror! I would love for you to share this (and any other creations) at Pin It and Win It Wednesday @ http://www.cheapcraftymama.com!
what a gorgeous room! i can’t believe you made that curtain, that’s awesome, and i love the way it’s so reflected around the room.
Came over from Winthrop. So feminine, but not over the top. The wall color is great with that fabulous shower curtain. You might have made it too beautiful – your preteen may start living in there!

Love it, and anything beachy! Great job on the details – love the wastebasket and shower curtain! I just re-did our bathroom beachy style. Hope you’ll check it out!
Everything you do is amazing. This is so pretty! You’re so good at making your home beautiful! I love the colors and accents. Great job!
Love that shower curtain. The bathroom turned out wonderful.
Such a lovely bathroom! Love the paint job on the waste basket! You continue to amaze me. Thank you for sharing this at my Make it Pretty Monday party at The Dedicated House. Hope to see you again soon. Toodles, Kathryn @TheDedicatedHouse
Love it! And that mirror is to die for! I need to look for a wastebasket for one I just did and the shop I found wanted $126.00 for it !!! Nuts!
BTW, would you mind telling me where you got the mirror?
Hi Melissa,
Great job – and that’s from one beach lover to another. I love the shower curtain, mirror, stripes on the can – you did a fantastic job. The room doesn’t look small at all. Stopping by from your comment on the Beach Accent Lantern. Thanks for stopping by! Love your blog.
This really is a lovely space. Actually, I think it’s a good idea to have kids share a bathroom–good training for real life! And if the bathroom is as pretty as this one, who can complain?
