KIDDING AROUND
Here are easy ways to inject a warm, child-friendly feeling to a cool, coastal bathroom – year-round.
- Use bright, non-slip decals outside the tub: stick ’em on stools, even – gasp! – the floor, to increase safety and fun.
- Let your kids dress up dollar-store mirrors with craft supplies. Install them beneath yours.
- Opt for easy-to-clean surfaces, and shatterproof accessories (acrylic, metal) to minimize stress.
- Give each sib his own storage bucket, shelf and towels – little-bro cooties are contagious, you know!
Add a Cape Cod aesthetic to your bathroom with easy-to-install beadboard panelling. A trough-style sink is super-cool and convenient to boot; look for one-of-a-kind pieces at places like Habitat for Humanity ReStores or salvage shops.
