A few weeks ago I hosted a Bunco party at my house. Our bathroom was in sore need of a makeover, since we had begun ripping wallpaper off months before, but hadn't  finished the job. The wallpaper wasn't coming off completely and was leaving an ugly mess behind, so we kept postponing finishing the job. Having company is always a good excuse to complete undone projects.

We used a sand-textured paint for the walls, to cover up any dings and scratches. It worked really well. The only thing we would do differently is to cut in the edges with plain paint (same color, no texture) and then texture the rest of the walls. Cutting in with thick, sandy paint is difficult. Or so says my hubby. I don't paint. Not out of laziness, but out of my hubby's desire to not dislike my sloppy job.  :)

Here are some pictures to show you how nicely everything turned out. My oldest son wanted a beach theme, and I didn't want it looking like a cheap Florida condo. I think we have a good compromise. Most everything was bought at WalMart, except for a wooden seagull we found at Ross and the shells that we put into the glass jars.
