Happy Whales

But this black / mustard combo started off in such a sad state...
 White.  Brass.  Green paint.  All had to change.
The mister hard at work with his wine on a Saturday night of course. 
When else do people do house projects?!
I wish I had more before pictures but imagine an enormous mirror with the bad bulb brass strip lights.  I couldn't subject my 2 year old and newborn to such ugly light fixtures or bathroom so we turned it into this...
Double black mirrors, new light fixture, some happy whales on the wall...looking much better. 
 Wash...Brush...Keep it simple for the kiddos.
 "You are my Sunshine" 
I can't read this poster without singing this song...or getting it stuck in my head for the next 5 hours...or putting a smile on my face. 
And some more happy whales on the wall.  I couldn't afford the wallpaper...I won't even mention how much it was per roll. so I bought two samples for under $5, made them pop with the mustard frame.  Instant art!
 A think black border on the ceiling to add a little detail. 
A little detail that the mister wasn't too excited about. 
I gave him another glass of wine...I got my border...and a crooked line.   
I know, you are jealous of how we spend our Saturday nights aren't you?!
