Bathroom Makeover Final Reveal! ORC – Fall 2016

Hi all and welcome back!  I can’t believe it’s done.  It’s Wednesday at about 7pm and I seriously just finished.   I have 5 hours to spare!  Nothing like waiting until the last minute, huh???  It was a stressful six weeks if I’m being honest.  In case you are new here, I am one of the guest participants in the One Room Challenge sponsored by Calling it Home.   I am second guessing everything now and still trying to move things around.  But, overall I’m super excited this is done and we don’t have the awful mess that it was before anymore.  So, without further ado, here is the hall bathroom makeover!

Do you remember where we started back six or so weeks ago?  This was our ugly, dated, 70s bathroom…

I got my plan together for where I wanted to go and it looked like this.

This was the first time I used a program to draw a room and plan it out and it was so helpful in sticking to a plan.  I gutted the entire space.  We had a contractor set the new shower pan and build the new half wall, then I got to work.  I had detailed posts on some of the project but will have the other projects coming very soon.  So, after prepping the floor, tiling everything, building a vanity, picking out accessories and painting, we have our new bathroom.

Whew, I learned a LOT!  Crazy!   I’m still planning a few things, like maybe adding two drawers – one on either side of the door?  Or a shelf on either side?  I don’t’ know, but the vanity still needs something.

Thanks so much to my generous sponsors!  I’ll have more info in the specific project posts, but lights were provided by LampsPlus, plywood by my favorite plywood – PureBond and furniture feet for the vanity by Osborne Wood .  They mad this journey so worth it, so go give them some love for me!  See my full shopping guide for this room HERE.

    This was really unexpected and I LOVE it! Great job on building the vanity, it looks stunning and perfect for the space. Love the lights too! And the dark walls! Seriously, I could just keep listing all the beautiful touches with a bunch of exclamation points but I’ll stop. And the different directions of the tile! Ok, couldn’t help it. You should be so proud and excited to see the rest of the “how-to’s” for this space.

      November 14, 2016 at 1:38 pm

      Yes! So sorry I left that out. I used Valspar Signature Interior Semigloss paint but used the color “Black Majic” from the Olympic line of paints (I just like Valspar paint better) on the wall behind the vanity and toilet only. On the other three walls I used Valspar Signature Interior Satin in “Knight’s Armor (Olympic)” on the other 3 walls. The ceiling is Bohemian Lace from SW, also Valspar Signature Interior Flat Matte. Hope that helps!

      Hi Katy! I’m sorry it’s taken me so long to write back. Here is my affiliate link for the sink – https://amzn.to/3a7BGWn . I’m not sure it’s available right now, but there are some similar options if not. I do love the sink, but there is a lot of splashing, so I had to turn the water level way down.
