Designer Nancy Golden uses her creative ideas to convert an all-white kids' bathroom into a colorful and personable room, spending less than $500. The room lacks storage space and is not "kid-friendly." Golden adds practicality, color and imagination to the room. The children's own artwork is hung on the walls, brightly painted corkboards display personal mementos, and a creative border splashes additional color on the walls. Even the shower curtain serves as a practical and creative storage center when Golden attaches colorful washrags to form pockets for toys! Paper towel racks cut down on dirty hand towels, and mirrors hung at low levels are ideal for toddlers. Itemized Design Elements
