Jane Elliot Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 We've been repainting the bathrooms and have been writing quotes in the plaster. For example, in the main bathroom we put, "A room without books is like a body without a soul. ~G.K. Chesterton" and "Wash your hands. Use soap. ~Mom" Now we're painting the boys' bathroom which is also the laundry room. Any ideas for a quote? TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parrothead Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 I've got two signs up in my bathroom. One says "maid service not available" the other "early to bed, early to rise, the first one with hot water." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milovany Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 I have "You're my favorite" under the kids' bathroom mirror. You can find some good ideas for the bathroom part here and for the laundry room part here. I especially like "Wash, Brush, Floss, Flush" for the bathroom and "The Laundry Room: Loads Of Fun" and "Sorting Out Life One Load At A Time" for the laundry area.

We have a joke here -- I'll say to one of the kids, "You're my favorite!" within hearing of most of the others. They'll all say, "Mom!" And on and on it goes. So I custom designed that at Uppercase Living -- it cost $18 or so. We're moving soon and I'm going to try really hard to transfer it off the wall to move to our new place. { Full disclosure - I'm an Uppercase Living demonstrator, so these are my links } Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a drawing in my bathroom of a little one on the potty pulling out toilet paper with this exact saying on it. It was my grandmothers and I salvaged it before it was thrown out when everyone moved around after she died. It brings back lots of memories for me.

"We aim to please. You aim, too, please." "In case of air raid, hide in here. It hasn't been hit yet." and so on...

Halftime Hope Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 Just out of curiosity- do you have books in that bathroom? called The Library. One day one of the teens from our youth group asked about it. As we have a home office and a study (converted formal dining roon), we kept saying no there wasn't a library. It provoked fits of laughter (and embarrassment) when we finally "got" what he was asking for: he really did want to use the restroom; he had heard my kids call it The Library.
