New Bathroom - and our secret :)

Here are the before and after pictures from our downstairs bathroom (off of the toy room). As mentioned in a previous post - it still needs caulking at the painted edges, but we are waiting for Papa and his awesome caulking skills :)


Before:


Nice toilet topper, huh? Gone!



















Like all of the wood - and who hung that towel bar there??? Gone!













A close up of the beautiful wall paper print - Gone!















Our new, simple, blue boys bathroom! I am really happy with the way it turned out!


















I like this cube organizer. It's nice to hold bath supplies in one and it will be diapers/wipes in the other!











The shower curtain is the same design as our bathroom was in Elgin - we liked it though!
















.......and for those of you wondering about the secret?? You may have noticed the "J" and "M" on the wall?!? The "M" is for Mason Charles Brooks aka baby brother :) We have had him named pretty much since the week after we found out we were having a boy. Rob picked out the name and I really liked it! Mason is just a name we like and Charles is my Grandpa Rosebush's name and my brother Ryan's middle name.

When we were at the doctor last time, Dr. Ish asked Justin if he was going to have a baby brother or baby sister and he told her "I'm going to have a Baby Mason" :) He's so excited.

We were going to try to keep it a secret until he was born, but I'm not good at that! Some people have known for a while, but we didn't put it on here. His name is said so frequently around our house that I almost slipped on some blog posts before. It just seems like people tend to give their opinons more before a baby is born if they don't like it....but we really don't care - he's our son and we really like the name!

So I can change our ticker now to "Baby Mason" instead of just "Baby Brother" :) Have a great day!

I love that name! Very cute!

I know what you mean about worrying about people's opinions, that's why we've tried to keep ours secret, too. But Ava blurted it out at the baby shower I had for Amanda Leigh, and strangely enough, it's her boys name, too. So if we both have boys, not only will their mom's have the same name, they will too:)
