Bathroom After

13 June 2008

I LOVE having such an ugly bathroom before, because no matter what, this is going to look better, right? Oh, and I just have to clarify: all of those Valspar cans in the post below are *trial* little half pint cans, not the full size. Yes, I'm a paint spaz, but not that bad, yet. We're still not finished attaching baseboards, but you don't care, right?



The paint color is basically Smoke Infusion by Valspar (Lowes) I wanted a bluish, greenish, grayish color. At first, it was Iced Marble by Benjamin Moore but that was coming off too dark, so I took my little can of smoke infusion in and had them put white in the iced marble until it matched that. Did I mention I'm a paint spaz?
The mirror is from Lowes: $40
The light fixture was from Amazon.com's 80% off lighting sale in the fall: $7.50!!

The countertop is just one of those ready to go ones with the sink built in from Lowes and the cabinets are the original nasty ones~I just painted them a dark brown, lined them, and put new hardware on them. I can't believe the difference it made and the money it saved not having to get new cabinets. The hardware is from Ebay.

The towel ring (and my toilet paper holder) are from Wal-mart~they have a line of "Mainstays" brushed nickel fixtures that are super cheap when you compare them anywhere else. (I think they were around $5??) I found this shower curtain in the fall when Target was clearing out their back to college stuff for $3.24. It was pretty plain jane, so I added the ribbons at the top.

Some little details: the basket is from Target global bazaar clearance with some cheap Walmart towels rolled in it. The little rack above the toilet is from a yard sale and the apothecary jars are from Target clearance and TJ Maxx with random fillers.
