baby bathroom also guest bathroom
HI Everyone,
I am not sure if this is the proper place to post this question.
But here I go.
We are in the process of remodeling half of our bathroom. New vanity, countertop, light fixture, painted walls, shower head- The bath and tiles is staying.
This is going to be our daughter's bathroom but it is also the guest bathroom.
The tiles and colors are neutral earth tones not white. I am having a hard time finding a shower curtain that is both child-like but not babyish. Most of the ones on Pottery Barn Kids site have a white background and that does not go.
I would love to put a color on the walls but then think maybe neutral is better and just decorate with color.
What did you guys do w/ the bathroom used for your baby and/or guests.
Any thoughts?
Robyn

Re: baby bathroom also guest bathroom
Ditto this. Our LO hasn't arrived yet, and we just completed a bathroom remodel that sounds nearly identical to yours. I just went with the style of decor we have throughout the house. Maybe four-five years down the road, when our LO starts to identify the bathroom as "his," I might spice it up with some bright colors and kid-friendly decor, but for now it's more to my liking with paisley and 'grown-up' prints.

Our bathroom that dd and guests use is more grown up with a few things of hers around it. Like she has her tooth brush holder and cup holder that is very kids like. I wanted something that match our home. Her room has lots of pink very kids like and our son's bedroom will be the same thing but I wanted the other areas of my home to be grown up not kids.
You guys have been very helpful. I do not want to make the bathroom overly baby either....our family room will be taken over...
and her room will have plenty also.
I think I am going to go with softer colors and a nice shower curtain I like from PB--something simple but sticking with the style of our house!
Our bathroom isn't changing. The shower curtain is from Crate & Barrel and it's done in shades of blue.
The only thing that changed was I emptied a drawer to keep her bath stuff in.
Her room is totally hers and very cute, but the bathroom is staying neutral. I didn't have a kid themed bathroom growing up and I survived -- okay the dixie cups may have had cartoon characters on them...
We just moved into our house in July and I painted/redid the guest bath. My husband is Army, so our LO will only be around 2yo when we move again so I plan on keeping out bathroom grown-up like it is, sans any baby/kid things we need and use on a daily basis.
Maybe once we move in 2-3 years we will make the guest bath more kid friendly assuming we have another 1/2 bath or something for guests to use.
DH and I just aren't big fans of things that scream "I HAVE A BABY! LOOK AT ALL MY BRIGHT STUFF TO PROVE IT" which is why we are even being selective in the baby gear we register for. Haha. We still want our house to feel like our house.
We re-did our full bath upstairs last winter, before becoming pg but while we were TTC, and never did it cross my mind to make it kid-friendly. Like you, this will be DD's bathroom as well as our guest bathroom.
I figured she is just going to have to do without a kid-themed bathroom! Our walls are a pumpkin color, the tiles a light beige, the vanity a cream colored wood, the vanity top a beige w/ dark brown granite, the shower curtain ivory, and all the fixtures that dark brown oiled bronze look. Not baby or childish AT ALL!

Wow, sorry about the long link. This is the curtain I put in my boys bathroom. We did a khaki on the walls and it is kid friendly but doesn't scream kid.
