exciting ideas for my toilet please

[Cappuccino]

I have a tiny downstairs toilet

it is so small

and we are finally getting the roof fixed - HOORAH - so we can decorate it

our house is not something out of Ideal Home. We have all white walls and bits of stuff in frames on it - artwork, pictures, kids drawings, postcards. I bet my mate would say we are 'bohemian' [ick]

anyway I am bored of being in this toilet staring at the door. it is sooooo near my knees. And I want to do something stunningly simple with this toilet that will make it The Fun Toilet or something but that won't just look stupid. It is mainly a toilet for the kids (we had it put it in because of dd1's disability), but we use it too as it is just off hte kitchen. We tend to send guests upstairs to the lovely bathroom in order to be kind to them

and that we won't get bored with after 2 minutes

I am thinking of getting a shelf put in over the cistern to put my empty Gaultier perfume bottles in

but that's all I have so far

Saloon doors and a painted saddleshape on the loo seat (eh voila - cowboy toilet?)

oh you need that wallpaper with frames on
[rummages]
here

god MrsB I love that wallpaper

I think about it on a weekly basis for the playroom

however the toilet is even too small for that I fear

(saloon doors? what have you been drinking?)

and floor from harvey maria

I was just looking for that, Mrs B!

we have floor

floor is boring

floor is anti-slip grant-funded flooring

I posted a pic once and dumbledoresgirl said it looked like pumice

no, look, perfect for loo

I did wonder about papering it in old newspaper

I saw that done once

but then as soon as I thought about it it sounded horrible

oooooooh

MrsB

ooooooooh

that does look nice^

we could swap stuff round so we didn't get bored

and we could paint frames onto the panels in the door

A family I know have really bold, silver wallpaper with a big pink print, with a red loo. (Not sure if they painted it themselves)

It sounds awful, but it looks good. You have to have the 'personality' to carry it off though. Don't know if I could be bothered with personality for a toilet.

Or panels painted with blackboard paint, and chalks, so you can draw on the walls while you're in there?

A friend of mine who was of Adfrican decent but with a white family had a large map of Africa, very tasteful, in their downstairs toilet. Another friend has a photo collage.

we have blackboard right next to the loo and chalks

we could continue it I guess

but I don't really want to encourage the kids in there... they already spend enough time running back and forth to get water for their imaginary piglet

yes you are right about personality; you don't wnat to be too meek for your own loo

lol at the imaginary piglet. I love that frames wallpaper too though - it's great.

You can get some great wall stickers.

Oh, a pub near me has its toilets papered in old comic strips. Looks good.

I like JackieNo's idea though. These might work

More lovely stickers. How about some space invaders?

oh god I love those stickers

I saw them in LivingEtc

Ooh - maybe some zips (to fit in with the toilet)

oh now I am not sure about the zips

I did like the butterflies because we have some already

there are some on the dividing curtain

and dd1 painted some at a pottery thing

however I am moving out of the toilet now, which is not a good thing

Must. Stay. Focused.

Ah, Rockett St George is the site I was trying to think of for stickers.

maps are quite fun.
The frames wallpaper is fab too.
