The $160 Bathroom Makeover

One of my goals for a beautiful life is to finish my home's makeover one room at a time. The bathroom is finally done! Here's the before...





Now are you ready for the after??






























The shower curtain, which was the color inspiration, and the rugs I already had. The green paint was $12, I only had to buy a quart and still have some left, the white paint I already had. I spent $30 on the shelving and about another $30 on the accessories (including the picture frames). I love it because it looks pretty but also gives me storage that I desperately need, after all this is America's smallest bathroom. The best steal was the towel bar, toilet paper holder, and towel ring, I got them all for a total of $11! I kept the existing vanity but added knobs ($2 each) and a new faucet ($40). I changed out the medicine cabinet for a smaller one ($30), the old one was too big you couldn't open the doors all the way. For the artwork I just took a couple pictures of my kids in towels. Then lastly a new curtain I made with some leftover white fabric for about $3 . There you have it, a complete bathroom makeover for only $160!

  1. It's wonderful. I LOVE the color green you picked, combined with the new white beadboard it really pops. It's perfect. So light and airy, it seems to look bigger too. Great job.

    p.s. the little bowl that says soap makes me so jealous, so cute.
