Diy Bath Remodel On A Budget

So, it's been close 3 months since I've terminal blogged, too I simply desire to give thanks yous guys for beingness thence supportive via social media. The fourth dimension constraints that come upward amongst beingness a novel mom bring been a actually hard adjustment for me, too since I don't bring many mom friends inwards existent life, it's been such a soul-balm to bring this community of women online who bring been downwards this new-mom route too tin offering words of kindness too reassurance when I'm feeling a chip overwhelmed. 

I haven't had the fourth dimension to blog, but Instagram has decease my lifeline to yous guys inwards the past times nine months, every bit it's an slowly identify I tin percentage things when my solar daytime is otherwise jampacked amongst chasing an energetic trivial tot around (She's crawling at warp speed now....omg!). So, to all of yous who bring interacted amongst me lately....thank you. Your words bring done thence much for my trivial world, too I promise inwards some agency that this spider web log pays it forwards too tin brand someone else experience less lone inwards their ain journey. 

So, yous guys, that's where I am today...chasing this trivial daughter around. She's close to hold out nine months old, too my globe has been totally rocked. I'm thence happy too excited too hopeful too filled amongst love, too also sometimes I'm simply at nowadays upward drowning. But, mostly, I simply desire to hold out honest close it all because this mom gig is the hardest affair I've e'er done, too I yell back it's a total disservice to other moms to pretend similar it's easy. But, I honey her similar crazy too I wouldn't merchandise this experience for anything.

I mean, simply aspect at that precious face. I'm pretty certain she was sent to this planet to pause me in.

Now that the life updates are out of the way, let's movement on to my modest bath remodel.

I know that's a weird transition, but how does i actually beak close the trials of maternity too a crappy bath remodel inwards the same post? I'm thinking yous simply crush them together too pretend similar it's normal.

So, I lately spruced upward our modest invitee bathroom. It's the same bath that I painted stripes inwards a few years dorsum inwards this post that went unexpectedly viral. I know a lot of yous guys loved that bathroom, thence don't larn mad at me. But, sometimes yous simply larn sick of things too involve to alter it up. And that's how I was feeling close this bathroom.

Just to remind you, here's what this bath looked similar when nosotros get-go moved into the line of piece of employment solid close v years ago, earlier I did anything to it at all.

And hither is what it looks similar today, later my most recent updates. The skillful word for all of us on normal budgets is that this entire bath remodel terms me less than $100 too pretty much all it took was some slowly pigment ideas.

Here's what I did.

I painted the walls amongst i of my favorite colors, Benjamin Moore Chelsea Gray. It's a beautiful deep greyness that industrial plant actually good amongst almost anything. It feels modern too inviting without feeling also night or heavy.

For farther examples, I also used it here too here.

I also removed the builder flat bath mirrors too hung a framed mirror I institute at a relieve store several years ago. It was originally a gross bronze color, but I spray painted it with Krylon Champagne Nouveau (affiliate link) too I honey the agency it turned out. I kinda yell back it makes the space.

Also, fyi, that is the my favorite spray pigment color. Hands down. I purpose it on all my mirror frames, including the i inwards the primary bedroom that thence many of yous guys inquire me about.

The bath vanity I painted amongst some crude based enamel pigment (the same pigment that I used on this dresser), too and thence I updated the hardware amongst some swell polished nickel pulls.

And then, also, because this vanity is stinky too former too from the 1970's, I took out all the drawers too painted the insides of each drawer amongst crude pigment inwards the color Sherwin Williams Urbane Bronze. I also removed the former faucet too drain, too replaced it amongst a novel brushed nickel bath faucet. Nothing fancy, but amongst paint, novel hardware, too a novel faucet, yous tin actually spruce upward an otherwise outdated vanity.

The countertop is simply your basic white faux-marble. It's non great, but when yous update everything around it, yous almost don't fifty-fifty come across it. In an ideal world, I would simply gut this vanity too start fresh, but I bring a fry to feed.

I added some artwork to the trivial one-half wall. 

Nothing fancy, simply some Homegoods loot.

Also from Homegoods....the trivial peony arrangements too the dark too white Equus caballus fine art over the toilet.

And that's pretty much the whole makeover!

Oh, too i terminal thing....something that I yell back makes a huge difference. I painted the bath tile grout. I did a tutorial close this years agone when I painted our kitchen too primary bath tile, too it continues to hold out i of my most pop posts ever. So, that leads me to believe that I'm non the solely i trying to figure out how to laid upward clean tile grout. :)

So, when it came to this invitee bathroom, the tile inwards hither isn't bad. It's simply former white marble tile, but the grout was thirty years former too actually needed some help. So, here's the earlier pic. You tin come across how dingy the grout is.

And here's a motion-picture demonstrate later I painted the walls. You tin come across simply how much of an eyesore the grout was. 

The production I purpose to pigment grout is called Polyblend Grout Renew (affiliate link), too for this bath I used it inwards Snow White. I in all probability used 10% of this bottle when I painted the tile grout, thence a trivial goes a long way. 

And I won't repeat the tutorial (because my original post goes through the entire procedure inwards detail), but permit me simply say you....this is the easiest project. It's fourth dimension consuming, but it's thence easy. All yous involve is a toothbrush too some newspaper towels. 

And perchance a drinking glass a vino to distract yous from how ho-hum it is. 

You tin actually come across what a large deviation it makes when yous come across the painted tile grout side past times side to the dingy tile grout.

And i time it's done, it's crazy...it genuinely feels similar a novel bath floor. I've done this inwards iii divide rooms now, and in my master bathroom, it held upward for nearly 3 years earlier it needed a impact up. So, totally worth the effort.

And that's the novel invitee bathroom, yous guys. It's crazy how happy this crappy trivial room makes me. Nothing inwards hither is new, but I spent a lot of fourth dimension inwards hither past times myself, sitting on the flooring inwards sweatpants thence ugly they should hold out banned, scrubbing tile amongst a toothbrush, listening to podcasts, too enjoying a few spare moments of person peace knowing my precious infant was snoozing blissfully inwards the side past times side room. 

So, is this what 32 is supposed to experience like?

Love ya'll.

Thanks for beingness here. 

I've got some major things inwards the industrial plant for this saltation too summer, too I'll definitely hold out blogging close it, thence I promise to hold out around a trivial to a greater extent than than I bring been. Fingers crossed.

xo,
