When the Lord provided our little house on the prairie here on the eastern plains of Colorado, we were thrilled to have a place to call home…but home needed a little work. Mostly paint. It’s so…what’s the word…interesting?? the paint colors people choose and the previous renters had chosen some interesting ones for sure. Ahem.
We painted every space, put in new flooring in three rooms and spiffied up the others, built shelves and got creative and just had a grand ole, exhausting time!
Today, I thought I’d give you a little before and after tour of our bathroom. It was the smallest and easiest for me to throw together this morning. 🙂
Before:
As you can see, it needed a little work. We replaced the flooring, bath tub, sink and painted the walls. As weird as it may sound, it’s now one of my favorite rooms in the house!
After:
We’ll start at the bottom and work our way up. We chose a vinyl flooring that was water proof, not just water resistant. We kinda figured we might have a little splashing in here from time to time. This is my favorite flooring in our house, hands down.
We replaced the old sink with one with a much smaller vanity that takes up far less room and hung a new mirror.
We painted the walls a pretty, Tiffany blue and the wainscoting a soft, creamy white. I found these super cute printables and framed them and Wrex made the mason jar storage.
Our bathroom isn’t huge and there’s not a lot of storage so we’ve had to get creative. Wrex made these barnwood shelves for the short wall and I love this hanging system from Ikea; cheap, chic and functional!
We replaced the bathtub and then got to work on the shower walls…they are the best part of this room. I had seen one similar in a magazine one time and I fell in love. Thankfully, Wrex agreed to give it a try and we both love how it turned out. It was far cheaper (and easier) to install than tile and much more unique; it’s quite the conversation piece.
We are so pleased with how it turned out! It’s been almost three years and the colors and shower walls still make me smile every time I see them. Let me know what you think about it! Log in later in the week and we’ll take a peak at another transformation we made…there were a few! 😉
