Cottage Bathroom Renovations On A Budget
Both bathrooms in this house needed total overhauls. Can you say “hot mess”? You know how sometimes you just have to put your head against the wall and bang it a little? Yeah, it was like that,but booth bathrooms look so amazing now after their renovations I am really excited to show you the completed Cottage Bathroom Renovations On A Budget.
I’ll show you the bathrooms the same way I did the living room ,kitchen or porch so you can see the total transformation! Here’s the before on the little bathroom first. It’s a cute little add in bathroom in the master.
Soooooo……. you know how stripes have a time and a place? This wasn’t the time or the place. EVER. Are you dizzy?I’m dizzy.
The wood cabinet was in good shape, just really dated. And the counter-top was also in good shape and a nice neutral color.
Since we were trying to a save a little money and spend it where it was important, we decided to leave those two things in place and just update them
But we decided the tile back-splash needed to be replaced as well as the faucet. The first thing I did was REPAINT and put new knobs on the cabinet.
We also repainted the floor.
We then popped all of the old tile off and re-tiled . I hung a mirror from Homegoods , the new toilet was put on and it was ready to go!
It’s now a cute little bathroom for a cute little house.
We put the same Ashville Moen faucet that’s in the other bathroom so they matched.
I think this little en suite turned out really nice, but I am thrilled with the main bathroom! It had an old,gross shower surround that just wasn’t in good shape any more. When we found out it was going to be over $1000 to have some open come in and put in tile.
Luckily all of the plumbing was good so we didn’t have to do anything with that. It was just all cosmetic. I think they used wall tile on the floor at one time.
We had all of the tile replaced and then used really great Octagon penny tile from Home Depot. It was about $22 for 12 square feet and the entire floor was done with a box and a half. WE also had grout custom mixed for the perfect shade. I after grouted with a custom mix grout then the tub re-finisher came in and did his magic! It was around $500 and The tub looks almost brand new! The toilet went back in and we put all of the pretty stuff in! Here’s the full after!!
I love the subway tile! I now want to rip out the squares in our house.
We also added beadboard and trim to make it pretty. I love the simple glass medicine cabinet.
I love the contrast of the dark.modern cabinet with the light walls. And I love the penny tiles on the floor. It was so dark before I really wanted this house to feel light and bright and airy.

Oh my gosh, Jennifer, this looks soo amazing. If you read my latest post, you see my fear in just getting some plumbing upgrades. You are fearless! And the white is just gorgeous, as is all of your hardware. I would think your hard work in the tiling should have a great return!
Doesn’t it feel good to have them clean and fresh?! Excellent work and love the updates. :o)

Looks amazing – and white is awesome – peeps may darken with accessories or paint but to have a nice crisp and clean bones base? Brilliant – : – )
Well done, your hard work sure is paying off – this has been such fun watching this transformation with you, Jenn!

We too have two bathrooms that need to be re-done. We managed to tear off the wallpaper in our master and repaint it to match the *pink* tiles. It’s just a lot of work and money, but one day I hope to have my own before/after bathroom shots! Thanks for sharing, they both look beautiful.
Thank you Nicole!
