It all started with me throwing out the sorry rug in my kids’ bathroom.  Let’s just say that it had seen one too many kids with the stomach flu and a bad aim for the toilet.  It was blue, brown and cream.  I was so in love with this color scheme when we moved into this house.  Now, not so much, so tossing it wasn’t too painful.  I was left with a little problem though.  The “Now What” problem.  This bathroom hasn’t a drop of natural light and the blue is seeming a little drab.  I am thinking yellow for the walls. Not a bright yellow but a soft muted yellow. If you’ve been following me for awhile, you know I have been painting the trim in the public areas of the house black.  The door is open most of the time (my kids just don’t comprehend the idea of privacy yet) so you see a good dose of black, but all the trim inside and bath fixtures are white.  I’ve decided to just do all black and white accessories.  That way everything plays nice together and when I’m ready for a change (like maybe yellow, black and white isn’t going to work) I can just change the wall color (I like painting).

     I guess that was a pretty wordy way to get to the point of this post.  The art is free because I had almost everything on hand for this project.  I picked up the frames from Roberts a few years ago.  The paper I framed is from Hobby Lobby.  It was left over from my wall of hooks project (see here).  The only think that I wanted but didn’t have was the bird silhouettes.  There was a quick and simple way around that.  I searched the Internet for “bird silhouette” and found a couple that I liked.  I printed them and cut them out.  I taped them onto the scrapbook paper, put the frames up on the wall and called it a day.  If only everything else was that quick and easy – like picking out the perfect shade of yellow.
