Bathroom #1 Makeover!

Sadly, we do not have a "Master" bathroom in our house.  This is our (mine and Justin) bathroom, simply because it is right next to our bedroom.  It's small, laid out in a very bad way, and was in major need of an overhaul.  

Here are the before pictures:
Very blah, very 1990's.  I can't stand black and brown/wood together, and considering the blue/gray tile, I had my work cut out for me figuring how to tie everything together.

Um, EWW toilet!  And who buys those cushioned seats?!  So unsanitary!

Again, blah.

So, I set to painting the vanity.

And then glazing it.



Wha-la!  Refinished vanity!  We got the mirror at a Black Friday sale for $40 from Lowes!  Add a bit of artwork on the wall and things start coming together.  We also painted the walls a soft gray color.

I went to my local hardware store and had some shelves cut.  Next I painted them black to add a touch of class.  Add in some baskets from Ikea for storage, and then some ironwork that was looking for a home.


Overall I am very happy with how it turned out.  Amazing what some paint and hard work can do!
