DIY wall art for the bathroom!

This past weekend my hubs got to painting our ugly yellow-goldish bathroom
a beautfiul tan color--hot chocolate to be exact! ;)
Love it.
I needed some cute wall art, but didn't want to spend alot of $$ at the moment.
I had gotten a 3 pack of cute stencils at Hobby lobby during the week,
and these were perfect!

I had this canvas lying around for about a year & a half.. I had bought it on clearance when we lived in Germany. I spraypainted the canvas brown.
Then I used the same tan color that Darryl used for the bathroom, for the stenciled part!
I also added some blue in the center to make it pop a bit.
And there we go! Some cute, cheap, DIY wall art for the bathroom, that only
cost me a can of spraypaint, and $2.99 for stencils!
And since I had the paint out...
and had another smaller canvas on hand.
I decided to try out a few of the other stencils that came with the pack!
My two year old had different plans for me though.
Scribble painting is his game..

He was not happy that I got frustrated with him over the paint mess. LOL

If at first your two year old cutie messes it up...
try, try again.
Perfect for the stall part of the bathroom!
I love frugal ways to make the house look cuter and more decorated!
This was fun & super easy! And CHEAP! Since I had everything on hand except for the stencils and spray paint, I only paid about $5 for the supplies! Yay for cheap. :)

Linking to all of these parties!

Before & After: Boys bathroom edition!

So I was cleaning the boys bathroom the other day, and I got the sudden itch to finally paint it. It was still the same white ugly color it had been since we moved in and there were lots of fingerprints/dirty spots from the previous owners. I told Darryl my ideas for it, and the next day he was taping away. :)
These are the only before pics I have of it!
I decided to use this basket to put their bath toys in, but decided to spraypaint it to accent the bathroom..
I also painted an old frame white with some left over white paint we had..
perfect!
Now back to the bathroom! We had some gray paint leftover from painting the boy rooms, so I thought it would go well with the shower curtain & stuff we had for the bathroom. And there's the red basket! :)

And the white picture frame with a pic of the boys in the tub! :)
And there's the sink! What's even more awesome is that we used things we already had, so this bathroom renovation costed us nothing!
