Today you get to take a peek into our down stairs half bath
I am really pleased with the outcome, considering that it took us only 2 days to pull it together.
We spent $500 on this update. More then I wanted to spend, but you should see the before, the whole thing had to go!
Here is the before
Huge vanity, big old mirror, wooden towel rod, wooden toilet paper holder
(oh yeah, this house had wooden toilet seats when we moved in, that was the first thing we replaced. LOL, It just didn't seem sanitary)
Gosh, I hated this bathroom!
I was going to just paint the vanity, but I could not find a counter/sink in this size
Then we thought about tiling the counter, but that seemed like to much work.
So we decided to rip it all out
The vanity was $129 at IKEA
The sink/counter was $100 at IKEA
I fell in love with the vintage inspired faucet at IKEA, which was $69.99
I used left over paint for the walls
I used this FREE template for the stenciling
I saw this Martha Stewart light fixture long before we started working on this bathroom, I just fell in love with it and I knew right away that I wanted to use it in my bathrooms
Well, that wraps it up
Thanks for visiting
Wow, that looks absolutely gorgeous! You totally transformed and brightened up your bathroom!
ReplyDeleteThis looks amazing! It's so much like my half-bath reno! We did the stenciling too. I really wanted that mirror, but I had to make do with the one I had. Check it out here: http://www.lifeonmarsblog.net/2011/09/powder-room-reveal.html

that is super fabulous! i just bought that same light for our retro basement makeover. but we put in a big ol cabinet like your before-the boyfriend didn't want space on either side. i would have showed him this before we did anything if i'd seen it earlier.

GORGEOUS!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat Color paint did you use for walls and stencil??? Looks Amazing!!
ReplyDeleteI know the walls are Sterling by Behr. However I am not sure what the stencil color is since I have since changed the bathroom and made stripes instead.
