Steve thanks so much for leaving a comment! I just joined HomeTalk tonight and this is my first post. I've put a detailed list of all my costs on my blog here. http://www.2littlesuperheroes.com/2012/07/1... ...»

But it's really just paint and some wood for the molding. But I just used the absolute cheapest wood (2" wide battens at Home Depot $0.66 a foot- and I really didn't have that much wall space to cover). Being such cheap wood I just had to make sure it wasn't too warped when buying it. The battens are thin it's not the nice thick board and batten, but I was on a strict budget and it's just a kids bathroom (they didn't even notice that I changed anything in the room, lol).

So cute! The whole room is a great transformation and I love your superhero sign. I definitely think we both came home motivated! :-)

I just joined and I love it already. But I'm afraid it's going to be one more thing that I really don't have time for!

You did a fabulous job! The board and batten is beautiful and the superhero sign tugs on my heartstrings. The three photos above the hooks looks really sharp.

Love the hooks for towels, it seems like the kids never hang the towels on the bar anyway.

Mary I. so true getting kids to use a towel bar is not a battle I was willing to have!
