Main Bathroom Makeover – The Reveal

Thanks for Sharing!

Whooo! During this bathroom makeover, there were so many other little home projects going on around here that I could not even keep up! But I am relieved that this bathroom is done (or almost done). The floors and doors still need some kind of fixing but for now, the main outlook of the bathroom is much more pleasing than before. Keep in mind that this project was not a full bathroom revamp but more of a get rid of ugly wallpaper, install new lights, new medicine cabinets, and new paint.

Like I mentioned before, since we were already doing the makeover, I decided to join in on the Spring 6-week One Room Challenge (ORC) hosted by Linda from Calling it Home. You can get an idea of the where I started and the progressing weeks by clicking on these links:ย week 1/week2/week3/week4/and week5. I am so happy to share what it looks like now but it seems like I could never get this post ready on time. And last night I came down with a headache and some kind of virus and just did not have the energy to type. Thankfully, I feel better and the kids slept in some.

Here is where we started…..Yikes!!

And now. . . So much better right?

As previously mentioned, choosing white paint and installing these new lights have really brightened up the space.

The medicine cabinets have really helped to clear the sink clutter.

We are only keeping a few prettier itemsย by the sink area and it is really making a huge difference already. I have gotten rid of the un-necessaries and organized the rest of the stuff at the bottom of the vanity (image further down).

I quickly typed a gratitudeย sign to keep on one end of the sink because let’s face it, we all could use a little encouragement sometimes. I know my husband could use some when he wakes up in the wee hours of the morning to get ready for work. And I definitely need a reminder when I am grumpy over late nights and I need to have the right attitude with the kiddos.

We have not changed out the faucets yet. We have them but I waited on the last minute and my poor husband was too tired to change anything. So I may do a follow up post if we decide to install them.

I polished them with some stainless steel cleaner I had on hand and called it a day!

Here isย the before of the vanity.

It got a little repaint but nothingย major. Changing out the vanity fully was not in the plan for this round.

The closet got a much needed bit of organizing, too. I am thinking of doing a separate post about it.

And the other side of the bathroom used to look like this. . .

And the after. . . Bye bye wallpaper and hello to all white!!

I debated whether I should add a large picture over the toiletย or add the shelves. Not sure that I needed extra shelving here but I thought it would be cute to add them. A while ago, I bought these floating shelves from At Home stores for our girls room redo. So far, we have not yet done the girls room so I usedย the shelves here instead. I added a few things around the home that had no place to call their own.

The toilet area got its own little spicing up, too.

Baskets keep me organized but I am starting to think that I have too many. Can one have too many baskets?! Another one of my At Home finds.

toilet paper

I filled up the large space next to the toilet paper area with a plant stand and a plant. Maybe poor Ivy does not like been close to the toilet but that is her new home. And she definitely needs some water, too! But at I have had it since February and still have not yet killed it!

A shower curtain from Target and some wall hooks keep this side of the roomย prettier and more organized. I wanted to use a cute all white curtain and could not decide between all white this or this one. I ran into my friend Tammy from Creative K Kids and asked herย advice on this one since I could not decide. We finally decided that a pop of color would be nice. Hence my inspiration for the pops of color you see in the bathroom (Shades of blue, teal, and aqua).

Kids towels are easier to reach now that they are on these hooks rather than being hung from the shower lining. They are really loving getting the towels themselves rather than me having to reach for them all the time.

I wanted to get a shot of the full area but taking photos of bathroomsย tend to be so tricky because of the various tiny angles.

Hope you enjoyed our bathroom redo and don’t forget to check out the fabulous makeovers from theย talented designersย  andย guest participants. I have looked at many of the reveal and they are fabulous!

What do you think of this re-do? I would love to know your thoughts in the comments!!

  1. I think it looks great! So many of us have a bathroom or two that is very similar to this. We have one that is too dark and could use the fresh white treatment that you did. I really like the way you accessorized the room – just the right amount. Great job!

    Happy Thoughts of Home. ๐Ÿ™‚

  2. This is wonderful Zan!
    Now you can relax!
    You did it!

    Thank you for sharing this at Thoughts of Home on Thursday.
    We are so glad you are here!

  4. Love it! Looks great Zan and love the little pops of color what a difference a little TLC and paint can do am I right?! Love the hook idea, I’ve been thinking about doing that in my bathroom (not entirely sure I’m a fan of towel bars). Great work Zan, hope your feeling better ๐Ÿ™‚

  5. It looks so refreshed and updated and no more yucky wallpaper! It also looks so bright and beautiful. I know you are enjoying your “new” bathroom.

  6. What a great job! It feels so much more modern, clean and serene. The wall color was a great choice. I love the items that you chose for over the toilet and the oval mirror, too!

  7. Great job Zan! Love the new paint job and the decorative details you added! Congrats and CHEERS to us for another room done!

  8. Wow, Zan it looks so much better without the wallpaper. It’s amazing how big of a change a little paint can make. The room is so much brighter with white paint, isn’t it!
    I really like those tones of blue you selected and the floating shelves too. I’m sure the children like having their towels within reach, nice idea!
