What did I hate? The walls were all that whitish color. I had this cabinet sitting on the floor in the W/C for MONTHS! The floor was linoleum dirty yucky and pealing. The curtains were ug. The light fixtures were crackly brown. The walls were bare. The cabinets were that orange-ish oak that I hate. It was just a boring builder-grade bathroom and it needed a little TLC. I think most people probably have a super boring bathroom like that. So what did we fix? Well, the floors are now that hand carved Antique Hickory fake wood that I love so much. I made a beautiful cornice for the window. More on that later. The cabinets were painted "cooled lava" by Valspar. And it only cost the $2.50 for the sample paint. :) The walls are now Alpaca at 50% by Sherwin Williams. And I actually bought a gallon for this project. (I know, that is a total surprise! but I had a coupon.) We used Ana Whites plans to make a couple of shelves. Of course, the base boards are re-done. I spray painted the light fixtures.
I love it. Every time I walk in there, I smile. My husband, on the other hand thinks we need to be on the Marriage Ref over my starting projects all over the house and him having to finish them. haha! I think we saved money by not having to pay the deductible of someone coming out to deal with the flood! If it weren't for the floors, it would have cost less than $100. So there is one thing I don't like. This bench right here:
I want to recover it, but I need your advice. Do you think I should use the geometric pattern on the left that the cornice is made from or the pretty fabric on the right? Leave me a comment and give me your thoughts!
Have a great day!
I like the stuff on the right better, especially with that vanity color.
ReplyDeleteIt looks great by the way!
