Bathroom makeover reveal…!

April 9, 2012 By Jennifer

Finally! One spring break and  one 40th birthday later, here is the final 
bathroom makeover reveal! it’s been a long journey, you can read  about how it all began here.
This is quite the bathroom makeover  for us, I am so happy to have it done.

Before
 After
pretty and bright vintage inspired bathroom makeover reveal
 After adding the board and batten,  we changed out the dark cabinet for a frame-less one I found at the Salvation Army for $12.99! It was an awesome find.
The glass shelf is from Bed, Bath and Beyond.
  I found the towel hooks at Anthropologie, they were actually only $2.95 a piece! Aren’t they cute?
 I liked this option instead of a towel bar with the kids. No matter how many times I put a towel on the bar, they rip it off. Hopefully this helps eliminate the end less game of pick-up sticks I play with the towels.
 I fell in love with the soap dispenser. It was a clearance item from Homegoods. It adds a touch of glitz. I love our TJ Maxx/Homegoods for that kind of thing!
 
I did splurge on the guest towel at Anthro. 🙂
hombre guest towels
I bought these washcloths at Homegoods and put them in an ombre pattern. I love to use these as guest towels. It cuts down on having one germy, soping wet towel and I just throw them in with the regular wash.
cute vintage handwashing sign
 I found this  brass hand sign at the vintage market. It’s the perfect reminder for my kids!
I found the canvas at Homegoods. It was also a clearance item. It’s such a great pop of color. The wall color is Dolphin by Martha Stewart. The woodwork is White Dove by Benjamin Moore.
 This is the floor we put in last year when the initial repair started. I just love the vintage black and white looking effect with the light grey grout. The shower curtain are actually curtains from Ikea. I hate how short real shower curtains are. I have a cloth shower curtain liner on the inside with another rod, and I just pull them down once in a while and give them a wash.
It’s such a relief to finally have it done, and I love how bright it is. I don’t cringe any more when I go in there. 🙂

    Good job pulling everything together from such a variety or sources. I wonder if you could find nail polish the colour of the towel hooks to paint on the silver screws?

    I love how it all turned out, and the blue is the perfect bathroom accent color. I love the towel hooks, so much easier for kids to hang towels on than a bar, I’m pinning it now.

    absolutely beautiful! I might have to copy some of this. It’s just great!

  72. KimB says

    April 22, 2012 at 4:11 pm

    I also love the idea of guests using the wash cloths to dry their hands. My question is what do they do with the cloths after they’ve used them? Do you have a container under the sink or next to the vanity that they can be dropped into? Thanks!

    November 6, 2012 at 3:02 pm

    I love your bathroom and plan to use some of your ideas. Your washcloths in the pretty container are a nice idea for guests to dry their hands. Do you also have a container to throw them in after usage? My bathroom will be painted this weekend and I plan to copy your idea. I even featured you on my blog – http://following-friends.com. Thanks for all your inspiration.

    Jen, your bathroom is beautiful! I love the Martha Stewart Dolphin color in here, and those Anthro hooks are to die for. I’d love to feature your bathroom on my paint color blog. You wouldn’t have to do a thing, just let me know if you’re interested!

  84. Grace says

    January 28, 2014 at 1:11 pm

    I do like the hand towel idea, they use it at my Chiropractor’s office. It is much more sanitary, and clean looking than paper towels, green too. Now when I get a new bathroom that actually has walls in the shower, and not garbage bags duct-taped up, when we build- I will have some ideas to run with. Thanks!
