Guest Bathroom Makeover on a Budget

We’ve been slowly finishing the second guest bathroom makeover on a budget, and I thought I would share the almost (kind of) finished project with you! Since it’s on a budget, we used  leftover wood flooring on the wall!

We’ve going along as budget and time allow for our bathroom renovation.

I shared our wood wall with you already , and the painted storage cabinet I recently finished. We’ve finally started putting it all together. We added a new sink on top of the vanity. It was easy to plug in since the plumbing was already there.

I decided to remove one door for now to change it up, and see how I liked it as open storage (We kept the door just in case I wanted to put it back.). I liked the idea of towels there for now,but a few people in our home use the bathroom as a “library”, so I may need to put the door back on for “stuff”. You have to keep those magazines and crosswords somewhere!!!

It also needed a new paint color. I painted it with Annie Sloan Chalk Paint in Old Violet, and then sealed it with polyacrylic since I knew it was going to get a good amount of water splashed  on it. So far, it’s help up really well and cleaned up nicely.

The faucet is  the Wynford from Moen . It was very easy to install and looks perfect with the sink!

I really love how the wood accent wall looks behind everything, and really warms up the space!

It’s those little touches in an update or renovation that make something look so much more personal.

 A hotel-style towel rack  is an extra spot to keep towels in a small space like our guest bath.

We are still trying to decided what to do about the shower. The shower tile has been our biggest expense so far. We haven’t decided if we might do either  a vintage style round shower rod, or a corner shower rod, or eventually a glass shower side. I love how the tile turned out though, it has a great clean feel. The shower was already there, so it was  just a retile.

We added a smaller shower head since it’s a cozy shower space.

I am really happy with the way things are going in our guest budget bathroom renovation. It’s been a long haul for sure! We still need to add all of the trim along the floor and around the door and finish the ceiling. It’s nice to have it be so usable,and feel so updated! You can see how it’s decorated for fall here.
