Ahhh...my poor son has become just a "visitor" in his own bathroom with just his toothbrush. My girls have taken it over. Not with hairspray, curling irons and makeup but with wet Barbies, dora "heads", polly pockets and squirty "princesses". Plus it has the same decor..."DUCKY" that I did when he was born...so it was time for a change!!!
I did this very cheaply and was inspired by Besty (go check this lady out!). She did a fun thing with her shower curtain in her bathroom ,too. I used what I had and bought three rolls of different ribbon, one wicker basket, a few towels and went to work.
Here are the BEFORE pictures:
With just ribbon and a glue gun I took frames I had(they were on the back of the toilet and fell everytime someone slammed the "lid")...glued on ribbon and hung...
Bought a very inexpensive shower curtain and towels .... tied on "fun" ribbon...
Retired the duck and bought a 3-section wicker basket...I wasn't crazy about toothbrushes touching...
Glue ribbon on a cup holder....changed the rugs around...and look what we have.....
What do you do with Ribbon??? I love it...I would tie it on my oven handle if I could!!!

It is darling! I use ribbon for everything! I sew it on solid towels to coordinate with the bathroom decor. I have used it around the tail of a skirt to change it up a bit, sewn it over the waistband also, made ribbon belts by the dozens for PD and BDiL, decorated purses, frames, etc. I could go on and on. I love how you used it on the shower curtain! One of the cutest ideas yet.
OMG!!!! this is sooo cute. except it is more than cute. i don't know what to say. i love it. i need to do that in my little girl/guest bath. great ideas!!
Pretty neat! I loved all of it, but the ribbon on the frames is my favorite! I don't use ribbon too much, but when I do...it's with my scrapbooking.
Have a great night!
Way to bow girl. Cute.
I don't use ribbons, but I think I am going to try after seeing this...Oh. I did use one ribbon-in my dog's hair that flops in her face. She ate it, and thew up...so I just cut it, and gave the ribbon to my neighbor for her girl's hair!
Too cute. I love it. I thought it was going to be about you finally getting a moment to relax in the bath tub and there's Dora. I don't blame him. Too funny
Oh, I love it all.
I love love love ribbon too..
The bathroom looks great! Ribbon is fun. I don't use it much... the kids untie it and use it for leases on all their stuffed animals :-p
I love the pictures hanging up, so cute!
Love the new bathroom redo! The ribbons are a great touch.
the ribbons are adorable!
I don't know how I managed to miss your post about your being tagged!! How did THAT happen! I'm so disappointed in myself! :(
Anyhow, I LOVE your ribbon ideas!!! So cute! It has completely transformed the bathroom. My girls would love for me to do that in their bathroom!! Looks like I have a little project to do over the weekend.
Thanks for sharing yet another fab idea!!!
Very cute and again very CLEVER!!!!!
You've given me some great ideas for our bathroom! I bet your son enjoys baths now!
Totally impressed! You did a great job and I LOVE the ribbons. :) Ang
Mmmm Hmmm. Oh yes they were jumping the fire. Did you check the link for the last game we played out here. if you didn't... do it and see if you can guess what they did!! let me know your BEST guess!
btw... we are NOT irresponsible people! :) just crazy
I LOVE WHAT YOU DID! What an inexpensive change! Great workd! Thanks for mentioning me...it made me smile.
Betsy is one of my real-life, not blogland friends. She inspires me everyday with her creativity and energy. You should see the rest of her house, it is beautiful! She is a wonderful friend to boot! Your bathroom looks great! I would like to see a close up picture of what the sign says that the pictures are hanging from.
Good for you...it's awesome! I need to get to my kids bathroom. It's still decorated in the cute little blue bus/car/train/boat theme that every little boy loves. Problem is that my oldest in now in high school..yep, I am behind, but they have never even complained once. :)
Great job!!! I use ribbon for a lot of things. Every visit to Hobby Lobby, I always put some ribbon in my cart. Never know.
OMG...I love this redo!! The bathroom looks fantastic....the ribbon adds the perfect touch! I especially like the hanging picture frames...too cute!
So the million dollar question...Will your son take a bath now that Dora and duckies are gone?
Very cute! I like the ribbon accents!
Want to spend the night at my house? Just bring your ribbon and glue gun!! I love the change.
What a great transformation. Had to laugh at your son's statement!
The ribbon is adorable. Thanks for visiting, love your blog!
HOW adorable!!! That all turned out great for the children's bathroom! LOVE IT!!
Oh I love it! :) Beautiful work! What does that sign say?
That ribbon is such a good idea!! I love how your shower curtain turned out! Does your son feel better about his bathroom now? :)

That is a precious re-do! I love how you hung their pictures in there. I need to put some finishing touches on my little ones' bathroom and you gave me some good ideas. Thanks!
What a great re-do! Looks totally different, and you only had to change a few things!! Great job -- I especially like the beachy pics of your kids! I use ribbons in my girls hair all the time!
So so cute! I love it...great job! I bet the kiddos love it too! I totally agree about ribbon. I tie it everywhere I can get away with it. DH and little man don't like it much, so I have to be careful not to over-do it. At least my dog is a girl...she loves ribbon too...not really...I just said that. After she gets groomed, I like to tie a seasonal type ribbon around her neck...I'm pretty sure she hates me for this.
Hope you're having a great day!
LOVE that, friend! It looks darling and pretty easy to do, yes? If so, I think I might be able to tackle something like that. Great job!
wowsers!
What a difference!
Ribbon is a girl's best friend (assuming that she can't afford to tie diamonds on everything).
Love it!!
It looks soooo much better in there now! Great job!
I LOVE the bathroom redo! I especially love their pictures. Aren't they the cutest little things on the planet : )! I don't get to use ribbon a lot with the boys around here, but I try to get my fix when I have to wrap a package : )!
wow what a great bathroom love the colors! I don't blame him I would not want to take a bath with Dora either! lol
WOW who knew ribbon could make such a difference....It's like a whole new bath! Brilliant re-do!
I love it all!! Especially the shower curtain,...so fresh.
I am a ribbon girl too. :)
I love ribbon, and this kids bathroom is adorable.
Darling, great job! I love that basket, that is great. I hope your son aproves!
Wow, you are popular- I am comment #40?? I love the toothbrush basket idea and I think your blog is beautiful! Thanks for your inspiration.
SO CUTE!!!
Isn't it amazing what a little ribbon can do?! I love your bath makeover!
So cute! What a fun and spunky bathroom! I love it and I bet all the kiddos, your son included, love bathtime now! Hugs, Les
The bathroom re-do is great. Looks very bright and cheery in there and the stripe shower curtain looks great witht the ribbons. Great color combination. Jackie
This bathroom makeover is just adorable! It's amazing what a few simple and inexpensive changes can do. My favorite is the pictures hanging from that cute wood piece.
Very, very cute. Love all the ribbons. It is a huge change and looks amazing.
I absolutely love your bathroom! I have that same Dixie Cup dispenser and I never thought of dressing it up with ribbon! Such a great idea! And I also love the pictures hanging up! That is soo cute! What does the plaque say? I couldn't read it in the picture! Cute ideas! Thanks for the inspiration!
The blue, the yellow, the pictures, the ribbon... I love it! Michele Jansen
Sandy, the bathroom came out so cute! I love the cheery colors. I bet your kids really enjoy it! Ribbon is just so much fun.
I love what you have done! It's perfect! I'm with you on ribbon; it makes a HUGE difference! (You should go ahead and tie it on your oven handle if you want!)
I love the colors you chose, and how you hung up the picture frames with ribbons. So sweet! :)
