I realize that I have not yet posted photos of full rooms, only glimpses of our bedroom here and here and our entry/mudroom - which those photos are terribly outdated...
One day, I am making that promise now... Please hold me to it!
I guess the point that I am trying to make is simply that you've never seen Preston's room, but the theme is traditional sock monkeys...
We wanted to run with that theme for the kids' bathroom as well, only make it more fun with more modern sock monkeys in brighter colors.
This was the only room that we hadn't painted and it was a very cold blue that made me feel not so warm and cozy.
Here is the before photo:
The photo actually makes the bathroom look better than it really is :P
I painted the wall straight ahead a color called Exotic Isle and made some hooks for the wall for the kids to hang their towels. Oh I as so tired of towels hanging over the banister, over chairs, balled up in corners and on door knobs.
Remember my birds on a wire coat hooks?
I decided to make something similar only square and with fabric!
This Sock Monkey fabric is by Moda
In use! 3 kids' and the dog's towels hanging up = one happy mom!
Up close and probably the truest green to the color on the wall:
Washing the towels, the hooks look lonely but still adorable!
Paint
modpodge
fabric cut to size
modpodge on top of fabric
rustoleum enamel in gloss on top 2x
hooks screwed into the blocks and studs or anchors
And here's what we get!
I'm loving this sock monkey bathroom. It needs a little more TLC and paint :)
but nothing is ever quite done!
Tell me where you could use some hooks in your life?
