Boys' Bathroom Makeover with the Bagster bag (and a GIVEAWAY)

A few weeks ago I mentioned I'd teamed up with Waste Management to makeover a space and use the Bagster bag.  

I picked the boys' bathroom, since I'd never really given it any love and it had a really nasty toilet in it.  Here's the boys' bathroom before - with a list of things I wanted to change.

Well, I loaded up the toilet in to the bag.  I haven't done the pick up yet because I'm keeping it a little longer until we can cut down some dead trees in our yard and add them to the bag.

That's the beauty of the bag.  You can keep it as long as you need to and then have them pick it up when you're good and ready.

There's also a debate between Mr. Roar and I between what needs to be thrown out from the basement.  (No, I'm not throwing him out.  I'm just showing you how big the bag is.)  It will hold a LOT of stuff.

And here's the new look of the bathroom.  (FYI - I had a hard time getting great pictures with a tiny room that has no natural light.  Sorry!)

I removed the shelf and painted the room a really pale gray.

I made some fun boy bathroom prints to hang throughout the space.  (More on that HERE.)

We replaced the toilet.

I purchased the shower curtain and towels from Target.  They're an orangish-red that I love.  Rex actually pick out the shower curtain.  He's got good taste :)

Eventually I'd like to frame the mirror, but that's a future project. 

There are four prints, but I based them all on things boys tend to love - vikings, pirates, superheroes, and dinosaurs.  I saw some on etsy that were girl ones like "Even princesses have to floss."  However, I couldn't find anything boyish.

Here's a better look at them.  I'll also give you a little more HERE if you're interested in purchasing them.

Thank you to the Bagster bag for helping us make this renovation.
