I've fucked up my bathroom. Help me fuck it up more?

So it needed repainting. I stupidly let my son choose the colour. He is SO proud of himself and loves it. It looks the the changing rooms of our local shit council swimming pool.

It's absolutely fucking awful Grin

So. Do I add white blinds, wooden blinds to help soften it?

Or do I throw EVERYTHING into the fuckit bucket and get hot pink blinds and flamingo the fuck out of it?

P.s if you recognise the photo please don't out me.

PAH HA HA HA....leave the door alone, it isn't hurting anyone.

Magnolia is your friend here. First rule of parenting... NEVER let your child choose wall colours. They have no idea about light and shade,taste anything because they are kids! I learnt the hard way,never listened to my kids again or since or allowed them anywhere near the xmas tree to decorate after their first and only attempt in 2002.

Dig deep.... Paint it again, magnolia. Hang a nice colourful blind and some sea side themed canvasses. Your DS will understand when he is older and will thank you.

You're welcome. 👍

Flamingos rock btw and this one has touches of blue and yellow amongst the pink.

Project Flamingo well under way.

I couldn't find any pictures though! Mermaids galore but no flamingoes! So I'm ordering online.

Um... I have a teal bathroom and I chose it. Now seriously doubting my taste Confused

2018SoFarSoGreat · 02/08/2019 16:44

it looks amazing in these last pics. Love it!

Am in awe of your painting skills Not - we may have to 'invite' you to vacation with us when next ready for a paint change. :)

Hot pink blind?

PenguinsRabbits · 02/08/2019 17:55

Love the flamingos but should have got a flamingo toilet seat. According to DS you can't have too many flamingos when flamingoing your bathroom.

NotYourHolidayDick · 02/08/2019 18:04

I'd have loved a flamingo toilet seat. Alas, all 4 shops I went to were fresh out of stock of them 😉

I'm doing a massive flamingo amazon order tonight. Fuelled by beer.

On a side note, FUCK ME changing the toilet seat was a nightmare. The old one was really heavy duty and had rusted on. It took me 45 mins, a hammer and a hacksaw to remove it.

I forgot to put batteries into Mini Mingo! Look, how fabulously tacky is he!

SnarkyGorgon · 02/08/2019 18:32

Oooh, that pink with the teal, gorgeous! Maybe a white blind with the first third from the the bottom edge dipped in hot pink? It would look fab!

Bluntness100 · 02/08/2019 18:32

Op, I think maybe it's enough, you're going to end up with a bathroom full of tat and looking like it belongs to Del Boy. People are amusing themselves and getting you to do stuff they wouldn't dream of.

TatianaLarina · 02/08/2019 18:40

I think Del Boy horse has bolted...

katewhinesalot · 02/08/2019 18:44

You need those flamingo pictures from a pp's post.

NotYourHolidayDick · 02/08/2019 18:57

Bluntness you are a fantastic voice of reason. But I promise, nobody is making me do anything.

I've ordered 3 lovely watercolour prints and gold frames. I've got a white toilet seat and white blinds. I don't have a shower curtain, it's a glass screen.

So it's literally just the two flamingos, and the 3 pictures.

Everything else is fine. I may get some hot pink towels but they can be stored in the airing cupboard if I have a head wobble and come to my senses 😁

I think it's great and love the colours. Hate the tiles but they could be worse.

PenguinsRabbits · 02/08/2019 19:36

I really like the flamingo - hate all white and we most certainly don't just have magnolia in our house.

We have this blind which have just noticed has flamingos on it:

And lots of bath ducks including a 32cm one. And DS is currently campaigning that the whole living room be converted into a giant rabbit play area for our indoor rabbit.

sparklefarts · 02/08/2019 19:42

I LOVE IT

hotsouple · 02/08/2019 20:16

Am I the only one left thinking what the hell happened here? The whole flamingo thing was to avoid just painting again and now you've gone more blue and added flamingos? Is flamingo bathrooms a British thing? In america it's only for trashy lawns. Why if you were painting wouldn't you just go white?!?!?!? I need answers from Britain about y'alls taste level

Some of us dream of kitsch

EdtheBear · 02/08/2019 20:45

Op please remove the pink bottle from under the flamingos bum. Sorry it looks like flamingos laid a pink egg / or poop!

However I don't see much difference in paint colour but it's looking lovely.

NotYourHolidayDick · 02/08/2019 20:52

Almost done 😴😴

Dh loves it which is nice. You were all spot on about the white seat.

Just going to pop the pictures up when they arrive next week, and get some flowers in the vase.

It makes me smile now when I go in there. And that's a result, right.

(And the paint is now most definitely not shiny and blue!)

lovely. Just lovely now. No more necessary. in fact, I might remove the vase - you don't really need it unless you fill it with flamingoes flowers.
