Ella's Bathroom Open Shelves with Beadboard Wallpaper

Our girls have a Jack and Jill Bathroom. They each have their own vanity and they share the toilet and shower. It has worked out really great for the past 5 months we have lived here. No arguing over needing to get ready for school. In Ella’s bathroom she has a little nook that we knew would be the perfect spot for open shelves. We finally got around to installing them and finishing her space. We even hung some beadboard wallpaper that looks like the real thing!

Thank you The Home Depot for sponsoring this post

I rounded up some favorite things from The Home Depot that are similar to the things or same thing we have in Ella’s bathroom. One tip that has made laundry and towel organizing easier is each bathroom get’s a different color of towel. Ella and Lola’s bathroom get’s white towels, Finn’s bathroom has black towels and mine and Kevin’s bathroom has gray towels.

Ella’s Bathroom Vanity and Open Shelves-

We first hung this Beadboard Wallpaper to create some dimension and add character to the space. It really would have been impossible (for me!) to hang actual wood beadboard, because of the tight space and tall ceilings. Very happy with how the wallpaper looks. It has texture and looks like real wood. It is paintable too and painting it helps to make it more durable (I wouldn’t recommend for high-traffic or high-humid rooms or heavily-textured walls).

The Beadboard Wallpaper comes with instructions, we didn’t follow them because it didn’t work that well for us. Instead of dipping the entire sheet of wallpaper in water we used wallpaper paste, and hung how you hang any other wallpaper requiring wallpaper paste. Apply the paste to the back of the wallpaper and also on the walls.

Make sure you use new razor blades when trimming the wallpaper.

We also caulked the edges of the wallpaper to give it a finished look (pipe in caulk then smooth it down). We did paint the Beadboard Wallpaper wallpaper too in All White from Farrow & Ball (paint matched at The Home Depot).

Then we hung wood shelves. You can find a lot of floating shelf options at The Home Depot. The shelves we used had a lot of knots and were more rustic than we liked, so we did have to fill the holes with Plastic Wood and sand them down. Then we painted them in the same green as our vanity Ball Green from Farrow & Ball (painted matched at The Home Depot).

On the shelves I like to use items we use everyday as decor! Metal baskets, textured towels, and glass jars filled bathroom supplies.

Trash can with lid, we have these in several spots! I knew that basket was going to go here so we made sure the bottom shelf was hung heigh enough for it.

Also framing prints in these simple white frames are a great way to add a pop of color (prints from HERE).

We painted the doors and trim in the same color Ella has in her bedroom, Setting Plaster from Farrow & Ball, that we color matched at The Home Depot. The floor we have is a terracotta printed tile, I am not really a fan of it. I LOVE the pattern, but some of the grout stained the white part, impossible to clean. I would look into this tile.
