Okay. I have never dealt with wallpaper till this day. I knew it had to be removed in order to be considered a bathroom. It looked terrible. The wallpaper was stuck. I used many different techniques to remove that bad boy - even a combination of water, clothes softener and a very hot steam iron - which didn't work very well. But yes, it did ruin the steam iron.
It took me more than 2 months to completely remove that 15 year old wallpaper, then clean the drywall and make it ready for the paint. It was a real nightmare! So glad that that project is over and we could move on to the next.
The color we chose was Heaven on Earth by Benjamin Moore. The sink and washbasin is Ikea's grundtal. We chose a double sink so the boys can share the bathroom without any problems. It gives this room all the modern, clean feeling that it lacked for years. The faucets we bought at Lowe's - my husband has a love relationship with said store. We went with the easy to clean toilet, also from lowe's. The floor is laminate - against all we read this floor is here for almost 2 years and still beautiful.
Yes, I did the back splash - it was quick and easy and it added some color to the wall.
I have hung some art work (not in the picture). A few things that this room needs: a proper towel ring. I want to build some store for under the sink. Roman shades and a closet redo. It has a huge closet in here - good for a great makeover.
Fun Fact: When we were choosing the details for this room we didn't know what was on the way - Boy or Girl. I wanted to make it more neutral but it's funny that my husband kept saying: let's buy all blue, i know it will be another boy. And yes, he was right. :)
