When Amanda from Mommy is Coocoo shared her bathroom makeover after, I had serious bathroom envy. That doesn’t sound right, does it?  But read on, you’ll get it.

And when she shared the ‘before’ pictures, I may have involuntarily shuddered. There’s a reason you’ve never seen our upstairs bathrooms. It’s the stuff nightmares are made of. Amanda understands because she had a nightmare bathroom too…

{see all ‘before’ bathroom pictures here}

This bathroom was HOT STUFF back in the early 1990s. Wallpaper {those are lambs and roosters…are you to be lulled to sleep counting sheep or cock-a-doodle-doo’d wide awake?}, gold fixtures, the Hollywood vanity lighting, and jacuzzi tub. Hubba hubba…luxxxxuuuuuury, baby.

But as time wore on (holy cow! 1990 was 23 years ago? way to feel old.), the wallpaper peeled, the gold wasn’t as classy, the tub broke, tiles cracked, color coordinated metal blinds went out-of-style…

but Amanda had had enough and designed a brand new relaxing, peaceful, functional, beautiful bathroom retreat…and yea, I’m envious.

It’s a bathroom that dreams (no nightmares) are made of now.

Go ahead, visit Amanda at Mommy is Coocoo for the full details on her bathroom reveal. Just walk right into the bathroom. She won’t mind. I’ve already warned her you’ll be stopping by.

And I love it “as is”. Now (not before) but girlfriend looooves color. Evidence here:

I wonder what she’s up to with adding color to the bathroom. I can’t wait to see!
