My goal was to paint this stool for my son to use when washing his hands and brushing his teeth. I bought it unfinished in February and painted it with primer and it has been sitting around waiting for some character ever since.
I started with a towel that my Dad's friend, Stacy gave Charlie when he was a baby. I think it's so cute and since Charlie loves playing with cars I thought it would be a good inspiration for my family bathroom makeover. This first attempt didn't exactly work out.
First, my painting isn't the greatest. (Although for the amount of experience I have in this area, it's fantastic!) And then Charlie took a pencil dipped in paint to it before I could get it varnished. I wasn't sure about the design anyway, so I tried something a little different.
I like this one. It's not perfect and I may sand it and repaint it later. But it looks cute in the bathroom and satisfied my need to do something with it. Then because I had some time one day, I decoupaged this for the bathroom wall.
Now I just have to get a coordinating shower curtain and bathroom linens and it will be all fun and "little boy-ish." Yay! My new house is FINALLY starting to get some decorations! And I actually finished something!

Yay Kirsten - I love the little stool - the car was cute, too. I can pretty much do stick figures and we're good. And the wall hanging is darling - you are quite creative. Anyhow, thanks for linking onto this, it helped me get some things done that desperately needed to get done.
I think you did such a good job! I wish that I could do things like that. I can't believe that Peter is trying to crawl! He is so cute!!
Nicely done! I think your car attempt was good though too. The trick is to not stress about getting it done and just have fun doing these projects. . . that's what they are for, FUN! Remember?
You always dazzle me with your talents! Great friend, wife, mom, scrapbooker...and painter! Who knew?
