Huge mess to guest ready (aka bathroom re-do)

I'm just gonna admit it, my bathroom has been embarrassing us for quite some time. 

Toys, flannels, towels, shampoos and more than necessary toilet rolls have littered the teeny tiny room since we moved in.

Every time we'd have someone over and they'd ask to use our bathroom I'd have a mini internal freak out, trying to remember if it was clean (normally no) and tidy.


So I gave it a big pretty up and sort out. First I decided I needed something to put all our everyday items in. 

For now I'm using this basket I got as a two pack from Ikea years ago. It washes really well, so our bottles and the kids' bath toys go in here to create the illusion of a more tidy space.

The kids are actually doing really well with it, but my poor hubs is still struggling with the new system...

It's the same story with the laundry basket and his socks, for some reason he is unable to get socks inside the basket. 


Good job he's so hot. ;)

I also wanted something pretty in here to make me like the room happier (and also to distract guests from the fact that I live with a four year old that doesn't always flush...)

I made it as a printable, so if you'd like the same quote as mine download it below!

Had another in mind? Though I'd do a quite step by step of how to do your own on Picmonkey.

Open picmonkey.com and upload a photo you've not changed the dimensions of, so that you can print off your quote in regular photo sizes.

Then select "overlays" from the far left menu and choose geometric.

Choose the first shape (a rectangle) and drag it so that it covers the whole area, change it to your colour of choice. You could save it at this point so that you always have a blank photo to use for text. Then click the button to the right of undo/re-do (above your photo) or "merge overlays" to stop them moving while you're adding and moving around text.

Now you can play around with the overlays and make a nice background or leave it blank.

Now select "add font" from the left menu and write out your quote or text however you want!

Then save and print out however you would normally! 

Here's how ours looks in the bathroom now.

Such an improvement!

And the quote reminds me that although my kids may block the toilet with paper, or flood the floor, or forget to flush, they are still awesome :)

What quote would you do?
