Welcome to our new fresh bathroom. It's not the ideal bathroom, but for about 3 nights work, a little elbow grease, and about $60 its transformed.
You may remember what it looked like previously, here's the post on it, and here is a refresher:
Horrible, bad, and boring! Typical older house problems, small space, a bit dark, etc. Oh and that tile, ahh, my eye balls!
I did this entire project by myself, which is a real conquest in my book. Normally we do all projects together, even if its a minimal amount of help, or consulting. For this Eric never even picked up a brush, or took a look till it was complete. Girl power!
I painted the walls and trim a fresh bright white (Behr's base white). A big improvement from the mossy green it was when we moved in, and the Velveeta yellow that I initially tried out. No other color seemed to go with the mix-matched brown tiles, or had the brightening power of white.
I totally re-accessorized, on the cheap of course! I bought a shag-a-delic white rug, bathrooms are tough on rugs, but I couldn't pass this glam one for $10. The white one took the place of a 'seen better days' blue stripe rug, (see the old and new in the first two pictures.)
I purchased some cute grey towels (we now have matching towels!), which pull in some of the yellow from the new curtains. New curtains mean no more holding up a tea towel with random bathroom products to cover the window, we're classy, I know. I thrifted these curtains for $1, they are Laura Ashley I believe. (I actually thrifted these for one of my girlfriends, but she didn't answer right away, so I kept them for myself. I'm a bad friend, sorry girl!)
I added some free flowers from our yard, because you know how much I like a deal, in a thrifted silver creamer. I thrifted the creamer for 70 cents a couple of weeks ago, I think it could have many uses. The pink flowers match with my pink hand soap, in an ikea dispenser, purchased for $3 before they raised the price to $8. I'll prob end up changing the flowers to something more long lasting, like a little greenery, or something that needs less tending.
No more random shower curtain, I found this linen-like textured one at a local discount store for $7.99. (Bad shot, but I wanted to give the full view).
There she is, fresh as she'll ever be.
