It's all about the decoration

I have three daughters. They are currently aged 20, 14 and 12. The 14 and 12 year olds are the only two left living at home. They have decided that they want a collective Christmas gift this year. They want, of all things, a bathroom makeover. I asked if we could throw in some new bathroom rugs and call it good. They outright rejected that idea.

They’re thinking more along the lines of new paint; getting rid of the nautical theme I’ve had in there for the past ten years and getting something funky. Like an animal print, or something really bright and colorful. I said if they were looking for bathroom rugs that looked like dead animals they were nuts because their bathroom is also the only guest bathroom in the house and this isn’t Jersey Shore.

That made me laugh. Then they decided to look at bathroom rugs online as a starting point and thankfully they came up with a very nice color scheme and found some matching accessories, including a nice shower curtain.

It’s hard to believe they’re growing up so fast. I remember when all they cared about was cartoons or playing outside. Now it’s all about the fashion and decorating.
