main bathroom complete makeover

 Is there an Ugliest Bathroom of the Year award?

Because my bathroom would've won.
Purple sponge-painted walls (with test patches of gray), 1980's light bar,
outdated cabinets, original toilet and sink, ugly shower curtain...


 and worst yet: the original, cheap, dingy linoleum flooring with that fake
wood trim and door in brown.


 Enter our wonderful contractor since we're not do-it-yourselfers, and we have
a Much Nicer Bathroom. Let's start with the new porcelain tile floors.
Much better, yes?


 Gray walls, floating shelves, new shower curtain, new toilet, sink,
trim, and door.


Hello to a new light fixture and mirror...


and pretty new wall art and towel to brighten up the neutral space.


 Thanks for visiting my re-do ~ happy Wednesday to you!

  3. Amazing what new flooring and a coat of paint alone can do for a room...the new fixtures help too of course, but for a cheap fix just floors and paint can do wonders. Love your new bathroom!,!

    1. Thanks, Tammy. I'm actually not in there often as it's the main hall bath. I use the master bathroom most of the time. :-)

  7. IT's beautiful!
    One of my 'dreams' is to have my current bathroom re-done.
    Love the floor and the paint and just how serene it looks.

  11. Your bathroom redo looks great! Sometimes I think those HGTV makeover shows could take lessons from the everyday people like us on how to do a makeover with very little money. They simply have no idea how to shop the discount and thrift stores!
