Bathroom Makeover

Bathroom Makeover on a budget with DIY - Bathtub cover - transformed vanity and more.

A small bathroom makeover on a budget.

There were still some final details that I needed to take care of in this little bath. but I couldn't hold it any longer, so here is the bathroom reveal!

Remember, this wasn't a..."I'm going to change everything" kind of thing. It was a cheap makeover. Same vanity, bathroom faucet, counter, mirror, bathtub... The change came with paint, accessories and a little bit of doing this and that ;)


Let's check the before of this bathroom!

The honey oak vanity that was a disaster inside, the plain 'ol tub, the Hollywood lights and lots of yellow paint.

Painting the inside and outside, getting rid of the doors and adding a shelf was all this vanity needed. I love its brand new, sleek look.

You can read everything about the Vanity Makeover right HERE.

Then, I turned my attention to the bathtub. No more plain Jane tub! 

I built a wooden panel cover to take care of that problem.

The curtain rod was changed for a curved one, now the shower feels more spacious. A shampoo rack helps keep the tub area clutter free.

The walls were painted the same gray color I've been using around the house: Sherwin Williams Requisite Gray - Flat.  

But not happy with simply painting the wall, I created this design to prove my patience. I now know, it was all worth it. ;)  

Check how you can create the stencil and how to paint this stenciled design right HERE.

Later on, a shelf was created to utilize that little space behind the door with storage and decorative accents.

The mirror was framed, a piece of  wall art was created, the towel bar was changed. It's all in the little details!

I love how nice the bathroom smells with so many soaps around.

A new area rug helps hide a little bit the not so pretty floor.


And... No bathroom should be left without some pretty accessories.

    ReplyDelete
  35. This is so impressive! I love the colors you chose, your stencil and the paneled bathtub cover-I've never seen anything like that-I'm in the middle of my bath makeover right now and plan on using some of those pops of orange-and have the same stencil too. Thanks for the beautiful inspiration :)

  39. Did you have to do anything special to the cabinet before you painted it? It looks beautiful!

    ReplyDelete
  40. Thank you so much, everyone! Anonymous, I didn't do anything special, first it was primed and then two coats of paint were applied, as I did with the kitchen cabinets here: http://www.remodelandolacasa.com/2012/01/painting-kitchen-cabinets.html

    ReplyDelete
  41. Fabulous! I love tub and the cabinet....well done!

    ReplyDelete
  42. Where did you get your "shampoo rack?" I've been looking for one to go over the towel rack in the tub.

    ReplyDelete
  43. Lauren, That rack is an over-the-door storage solution I found at Bed, Bath and Beyond. It didn't work that well for my kids, too high for them to reach those bottles, and just yesterday I saw little bits of rust on it! :(

    ReplyDelete
  44. Such a beautiful transformation! Love it all!

    ReplyDelete
  45. Thanks for your comment over on my blog!! I appreciate it so much, especially coming from you!! I love your blog, it is my greatest inspiration. And actually my bathroom redo was going to include the frame for the tub, but I had a really hard time figuring out how to get this started. My tub has a funky curve to it, can you assist me with that? Thanks in advance!!!

    ReplyDelete
  46. Christina! Wow is all I can say! Wow!
