Help decorate my bathroom

11 years ago

Ok I need help with a few decorating areas in my small bathroom. On top of the toilet I was thinking of hanging 4 frames with my kids baby bath pictures in them. Do these papers mimicking the frames seem at the right height?

and which of these 2 frames would you choose?


I'm not sure if I should paint the frames or keep them white. That is the shower curtain we are keeping and we are painting the vanity and dark brown.

    I think bath shots are an adorable, creative idea! Perhaps go the opposite and pick oversized sized photos. Not as big as what I posted, but it gives you a springboard for ideas. Even black and white!

    The problem is that these pictures I only have them in 3.5 X 5 so I was thinking of putting them in a 4X6 frame.

    If you painted the frames a light purple, that could tie in nicely to your existing color scheme (similar to the light purple on your shower curtain).

    I was kind of thinking of that a light purple would be nice.

    Even drugstore today like Walgreens and CVS allow you to purchase canvas prints or poster size. Check what Staples has too!

    My problem is that these pictures were taken at a studio and so I can't make a reprint.

    hum.. so what should I do use the 3.5 X5 pictures that I have in these frames or use other pictures from my kids to make them bigger?

    ok this is what it would look like.

    I prefer the look of square frames. You can have them scanned and printed onto square canvas which could be larger and adorable!

    Your picture(s) are adorable and will look great in either frame.

    If I ended up scanning my pictures on a canvas print do you still frame them? Also what size would you do them?

  • 11 years ago

    You wouldn't have to frame them. Find out what sizes are available and then go back to your original idea of hanging paper see what fits. You may want to have two different sizes, as the collage wall that I originally posted or not. If this intimidates you, just repost a picture with your new configuration for feedback!

    Use a combination of both frame styles. Keep them white or add a few details (line, outlines, dots) in the color of the wooden texture seen around the space in your photo.

    I agree with "hatetoshop". If you cannot enlarge the photos, use large mats. I like simple frames. But the bath photos are a darling idea!

    Just remember steam (if there is an issue) will deteriorate things over time. Not trying to be a killjoy just don't use original photos. Have fun with this cute idea.

    made some calls today and in order to scan my 3.5 X 5 pictures I can only go as big as a 5X7 and that would cost me each $35. Not sure if that is worth it. What should I do?

  • 11 years ago

    Put your 3x5 ppictures in larger frames with mats. It's more modern and draws the eye to the subject.

  • 11 years ago

    would you do 4 of the same frames or all white frames but different?

  • 11 years ago

    Would you stick with the bath pictures with bigger frames and mats or random pictures of my kids that I took?

  • 11 years ago
    My kids would not like me putting photos of them in the bathroom especially above the toilet. Perhaps some framed drawings your kids have made? This would give a nice splash of color too.

    Actually my kids love their pictures in the bathroom. Thought hey are still 9 years old and under.
