Sprucing Up the Bathroom

We got productive this weekend, started our laundry area redo and also completed some of the projects that have been lingering around for a while.  One of those projects being a little sprucing up of our little half bath.  So let's take a walk through memory lane and see how far this teeny space has come.

The beginning:


Nice huh?  This was such a dingy and dark little space.  When we moved in, we at least added an old rug we had, tossed a basket under the sink for storage and moved the plunger.  Big upgrades, I know.


And....here it is today.  So much better right?  This little bathroom is so much brighter and cheerier and is full of easy diy projects.  


Here are some things we have done so far:  We painted the trim white and walls a new brighter color (Olympic Tightrope).  Then we painted the linoleum floor teal (Valspar Classic Teal)- a much easier process than I thought it would be.  We also added these baskets for extra storage on the walls. And, I made the peacock paint chip art (which we finally got around to hanging this weekend).


Oh, we also changed out the awful old and broken wooden towel rod and this weekend I found this really cute hand towel at world market - that I absolutely love. 



 

PS - You can see where I have started priming the hallway and laundry area this weekend plus you are reminded of how hideous that floor is back there.






Here's the quick side by side:
