Bathroom Redo

When I bought this house almost 3 years ago I repainted almost every room with the exceptions of the bathrooms, laundry room, and my son's room.  Mind you nothing had been done since the house was built in 1995.  It still had the original contractor cream on all the walls.  I left my bathroom alone up until a couple weeks ago.  That look needed to go.  Keep in mind I have a very small budget so I did what I could.

My sink was chipping and stained.  We have nasty water here in my town.  We have a softener but for a long time it wasn't working properly until I did my research and fixed it.  At that point it was too late because the finish was worn off the sink.

The oak cabinet is still in very good shape, but the gold handles need to go.

The flooring is still in very good shape.  It is an ugly pattern with blue and pink BUT no need to replace it yet.

The light above the sink is a shiny mirrored gold and silver with round bulbs.  It screamed 90's!  I have no other storage so the medicine cabinet stays.

Now for the update.  It cost me less than $500 to give it a face lift.  My son helped me with this little project. I'm not done decorating, but I thought I'd share it with you. 

Yes, I kept the flooring and the oak cabinet.  I couldn't bring myself to paint it because it was in such good shape and all of the woodwork is oak as well.  The paint on the walls is leftover paint from my living room so $0 spent.

 A very good friend of mine sent me this mustard plaid shower curtain that I never used until now.  The picture I've had for 5-6 years, but haven't used it in about that long. LOL.

I changed the knobs and pulls with brushed nickle.  I also LOVE the sink because it is all one piece.  I didn't want one with a lip where the counter meets the sink. I finally found this one at Menards's, which is quickly becoming one of my favorite stores.  The sink and faucet is where most of my money went.

Not much choice on a light when it is attached to your medicine cabinet. 

Last but not least a new shelf made from a vintage drawer of some sorts.  I bought 2 of these a few years back and they have floated around being used for all sorts of stuff.  But I love it because no my stuff won't get knocked off the shelf.  I even raised it a bit so Bill wouldn't hit his head on it. LOL

I love my new bathroom.  I need to put some other things on walls, but I'm trying to decide what I want because of the moisture in there.  So, that may take some time.  I'll keep you posted.
