I've spent the past times 2 weeks updating our old, outdated principal bathroom. I did it all myself, as well as alongside a budget of less than $100. I'm as well as hence excited to in conclusion hold upwards able to portion all the DIY details alongside you!
My means of working alongside a modest budget is to focus on what I tin modify cheaply as well as brand the best of what I have. I would honey to upgrade to a fancy drinking glass shower as well as gorgeous marble countertops, but that's but patently unrealistic for us correct now. In the meantime, I wanted to at to the lowest degree upgrade the infinite past times using a few inexpensive diy tricks I convey upwards my sleeve, most of which quest paint! Hopefully this volition assist make y'all some ideas & solutions for your ain outdated bathrooms!
So, hither is what the bath looks similar today.
I decided I wanted our principal bath to hold upwards a fresh, create clean aqua blue. I decided upon Sherwin Williams Sea Salt, which is my absolute favorite color.
I fifty-fifty used it inwards my closet!
I fifty-fifty used it inwards my closet!
Now, pair yourselves.
Here is what the bath looked similar 2 years agone when nosotros moved in.
Here is what the bath looked similar 2 years agone when nosotros moved in.
We had peachy-beige walls as well as orange, grainy cabinetry.
Here's a side past times side:
The real commencement affair I did inwards this bath was to pigment the cabinetry as well as trim. It's an easy, affordable solution, as well as ever helps to update an outdated space.
See my best trim down paradigm tips here.
I also changed out the hardware on the vanity. I decided to switch it upwards a fleck past times putting circular knobs on the drawers as well as vertical pulls on the doors. I honey adding trivial personalized touches similar that.
Luckily, the quondam possessor had already installed gorgeous faucets as well as crisp white sinks, as well as hence those stayed.
The tile countertops were painted white using the same production I used here. It's such an tardily update, as well as means cheaper than replacing your countertops.
See that lather catch as well as trivial canister? Both came from my favorite thrift store. I recall they were close $2 each.
I also painted the grout on our flooring tile. It was kinda dingy, as well as grout pigment was an tardily solution. Here's that business office of the projection halfway through. You tin encounter where the restored white grout runs into the old brown grout.
Here's the grout completely done as well as looking create clean as well as new!
You tin encounter how I pigment my grout here.
I also scored a cute floral shower drapery as well as bath mat at Marshall's.
After paradigm stripes inwards the guest bath, I wanted to practise something especial here, too. So, I establish some large cardboard letters at the arts and crafts shop as well as spray painted them white.
I stuck them to the wall alongside some wall hanging adhesive.
Now, onto the adjacent business office of this bathroom, the mirror. In the invitee bath, I removed the structure degree mirror as well as hung a framed mirror. However, inwards the principal bath I ran into a problem. The mirror was attached to the wall alongside adhesive rather than screwed inwards similar the other bath. Rather than bargain alongside having it shatter into a 1 chiliad 1000 pieces, I decided to build a frame some it.
Here's the earlier pic. You tin encounter that some the edges the mirror was discolored as well as looked awful.
So, the nosotros went to Lowe's as well as picked out some inexpensive faux-wood trim. Faux woods was definitely the means to larn for this because non alone was it cheaper ($6 per 6ft piece), but the synthetic woods was also actually lightweight as well as much easier to hang.
Here is the finished mirror, all framed in. After nosotros glued the frame to the mirror, I caulked the gaps as well as painted the entire frame white.
I recall it looks as well as hence much amend than the old structure degree builder mirror.
Oh, as well as my budget dried upwards earlier I could larn a lavatory newspaper holder thingy, as well as hence for now, the lavatory newspaper has a bowl.
Just keepin' it real.
Here's the persuasion from the other way.
You tin encounter out into the bedroom.
(Take the bedchamber tour here. Prepare to laugh.)
And in that place ya convey it: Our trivial bluish principal bathroom!
It's zip special, but it's as well as hence much amend than before. It feels totally refreshed as well as new, as well as it no longer makes me cringe when I walk in.
And that, my friends, is a success!
Thanks for letting me portion my domicile alongside you!
I'm as well as hence glad y'all stopped by!
