Bathroom Makeover Reveal

Good Morning!

I'm so excited to share all the changes we've made to our bathroom.  I've taken  oodles of photos to share and I apologize for that right off, I'm just so excited!

The goal for this small, windowless room was to replace outdated fixtures and to give the space a clean, crisp look.  

The room looked like this when I started.

The wall color was too bright, the flooring was cracked and peeling, the light fixture was UGLY and the faucet was worse.

The first thing I did was paint the walls with a creamy white color called Milk Paint and give the ceiling a new coat of crisp white paint.  Then hubby installed the new lighting and the faucet.  The next step was Pergo flooring, which we had installed. 

The result is a bright, airy space which I love.

The new faucet looks like this.

And the lighting looks like this.

I installed new towel hooks. . .

and thought new curtain hooks were in order also.  I picked pretty new ones from the Shabby Chic line at Target.  The shower curtain I've had for a year and still love the ruffles.

Outlet covers were replaced with basic wood covers which I painted to match the walls and then distressed (I talked more about these here).  I like the way they blend into the wall more than a normal outlet cover would.  Plus they look much more pretty than plastic ones ever could.

The flooring is called Beech Blocked and was purchased at Home Depot.  We had them install it also. 

Once all the painting and installations were complete I dove right into the fun part - -

the accessories!

For an accent color I chose variations of the color blue so everything wouldn't look too matchy - matchy.

For the area around the sink and stool I tried to keep things very simple since both the kids and guest use this space.  Everything had to be both pretty and functional.

Above the stool I place two empty frames painted a pale, barely there blue called Light French Grey by Behr.  It's such a pretty color I used it a few other places around the room.

A new soap dispenser with a vintage flair was placed on one side of the sink.

On the other side, a simple bud vase is used to hold toothbrushes.

On the small wall by the door I placed gentle reminder to the girls

(more on the sign here).

A favorite feature of the bathroom are the shelves I installed a while back.  All the display space and storage has been a welcomed addition.  Plus it puts the awkward unusable space to good use.

With simplicity in mind, I made sure to keep the two bottom shelves kid friendly yet pretty.

The first shelf holds bathroom essentials.

The second shelf  holds kid hair accessories and combs.  I hung my abstract painting (more here) above the shelf to add a little color.

The third shelf holds more bathroom essentials in pretty containers.  To add a more color I hung a framed vintage postcard above the shelf.

 A pretty glass creamer helps keep items organized.



And glass jars are used to hold things like cotton pads and  a layer cake of soap.

The top two shelves hold some of my favorite items in the room.

A collection of clocks sit in front of a mirror. . .

. . . painted with my accent color of Light French Grey.

The top shelf holds a pair of footed bowls and my favorite blue train case.

Hope you enjoyed the tour,

Robin

I'll be stopping by here . . .
