Our poor little bathroom was firmly stuck in the 90's with some major nods to the 60's. It was also missing several cabinet knobs and generally needed some TLC. I didn't want to get into any major ripping out construction so decided on a "facelift."

Here is the new look! Completely different, right?
Here's what we did to update:
- Had the tub and tiles reglazed
- Painted
- New toilet - No more yellow and only 1.2 gallons/flush!
- Stained the cabinets ebony
- New cabinet hardware
- Framed the mirror
- New light fixture
- New towel racks
- Granite countertop from a remnant
I have picked out and ordered a blue and white fabric to make the shower curtain. I'll post updated photos when that gets done - hopefully before next summer!
I'm so pleased with the update. I think that we should be good for another decade or so. :-)
What summer projects are you working on?
Do you know what brand/color the wall paint is? I love it!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I was originally going to go with a very safe blue/gray and at the last minute picked this color to pick up the color in my fish print. The color is Duron Ardent Coral. One tip: Use a gray tinted primer like it says on the can. We tried to use the white primer and found that the coral color was watered down looking and not covering. After 3 coats, we started over with the gray primer and - waa laa - got the color on the paint chip.
