Quick, Easy & Affordable Bathroom Makeover
Before ~ Dated, drab and choppy.
Recently I pulled off a quick and affordable bathroom makeover that I just love. My clients purchased a home with a wonderful layout, lots of light and easy indoor/outdoor living. But many of the details in the home needed updating. So we prioritized. Some of the must-have’s…a new kitchen and new flooring throughout. But then there were details that just needed a quick face-lift and their master bath was one of them.
The Good News…it’s a nice size bath with his and hers vanities and beautiful plantation shutters. All the permanent fixtures were in light tones.
The Bad News…dated vinyl wallpaper and pickled wood cabinets that highlighted the cultured marble counter-tops. Not my favorite combo.

After ~ Serene, cohesive and classic.

The key here is highlighting the good features (large room & plantation shutters), creating a simple color palette (ivory and blue) and updating the less desirable features (the mirrors and cabinets). So this is how we did it.
4 Easy Steps to a Quick, Easy & Affordable Bathroom Makeover
Step 1 - Remove the wallpaper and paint the walls a spa-like blue. (See how the soffits virutally disappear?)
Step 2 – Paint the cabinets Benjamin Moore Linen White. (My favorite warm white.)
Step 3 – Replace the knobs with something simple and classic.
Step 4 – Install frames on the existing mirrors to tie in with the cabinets. (I have Excellent Sources for mirror frames in My Secret Database.)
So if you are not happy with your bathroom, really take a good look. Does it have good bones but just needs a few tweaks? Chances are you might be able to pull off most of the work yourself and be relaxing in your spa-like bathroom in no time at all.
