Today I am revealing the makeover of my in-laws’ guest bathroom. The budget was really small, so the changes I made were very economical, but in the same time I’d say pretty impactful. The wallpaper had to go, so after I peeled it all off (you can see the tutorial for that right here), I had a clean slate to paint. First off I made sure I spackled all the imperfections and, after it was all dry, sanded them down to a smooth finish. I primed and painted the walls twice. I also primed and painted the ceiling. In between coats, I painted the sink cabinets and the baseboards.
It’s funny to me that the wholepainful intense process can be described in a couple of sentences. Somehow, it sounds so simple and so fast. Like I described here, the whole process took me about a week. If you have no kids and pets, the process may go so much faster. Anyway, I am happy with the results.
Here’s the BEFORE:
Lovely, isn’t it? And here are a few pictures AFTER:
I also framed the mirror, which in my opinion makes for a beautiful change. It was low cost, high effort, and big impact. I used the tutorial I found over at It All Started With Paint. It was not as easy as she described it (and hopefully in a later post, I will tell you how I managed to make the process ridiculously difficult)
I also spray painted the light fixture and bought a new towel holder and toilet paper holder to match the color of the light fixture.
As finishing touches, I got rid of the old shower curtain, bought a cute one at Home Goods, got some towels and new bathroom rugs.
I love the color on the walls (Martha Stewert – gravel – in a satin finish). What do you think?
Hugs,
