Updated bathroom - part 1

16 years ago

Hi All,

A while back I posted a thread looking for color suggestions to paint the vanity in our guest bathroom/laundry area. We wanted to give it a temporary clean up for my Mom's upcoming visit, but have even more plans for it later.

Here's how it turned out. What I'm tickled with is we only spent 600.00 and everything we bought or updated will be used in the 2nd half of the remodel as well. Thanks for the help and suggestions, I really appreciated it and here's the finished project!

Went black with the vanity:




I made this out of some hooks and a spare piece of cabinet board:

    Very nice! I love your cabinet hardware and the towel rack idea was great!

    Wow, like night and day! Looks really nice!

    For a few more bucks you could replace the plastic trash can.

    Oh, I love it! What color paint did you use? I'm planning to paint my office blue and decorate with either white or black or both like you did. I just love that combination.

    Beautiful. Looks so good, I don't even think you need a part II. Lovely!

    Simply lovely. The wall hooks are great!

    Hey stranger! The bathroom looks so inviting! I have the same flooring in my bath except with pink triangles, and I just love it.

    You've been a busy girl. Good to see you again!

    Wow, what a beautiful transformation. Love the black cabinet, the hardware, the faucet. Oh heck, I love it all. You have great taste. Congratulations, the bathroom is lovely. Your mom will be very pleased I'm sure.

    Thanks everyone, I really appreciate it. Painting the vanity convinced me I want to hire out when we paint the kitchen cabinets!

    Hey Shee, the handles/knobs are from the new Martha Stewart line. I was impressed with the quality.

    thanks for the link Natal, I know the trash can needs to be replaced but that will come after we move the washer & dryer from the room.

    Laurie, Thanks! The color is SW Tradewind, it's in the gray family but has a heavier tint of blue/green (aqua) in it.

    Val - Thanks! Part II is removing the laundry to it's own space, I can't wait for that!

    Thanks Tuesday! A good friend prompted me to go black and I'm so glad I did.

    Thanks DeeDee, nothing better than next to free is there? Ha!

    Thanks Greatgollymolly! (love that name!) I hope she does! Thanks for the compliments, it means a lot!

    Oakley!!! I missed your post, how are ya! Thanks, inviting is what I was aiming for! We've been busy every weekend for weeks. I've been thinking about replacing the floor with tiles of some sort but it's starting to grow on me a bit.

    It looks great. I noticed the floor in the after pics and thought you'd selected it for the new look - until you showed the before pics and said you were considering replacing it. I think it looks good with update.

    Wonderful update - it's so crisp and fresh looking now - love all your choices!

    Don't blame you one bit for deciding to hire out the kitchen cabinets - that's a daunting task!

  • 16 years ago

    Awesome!

    looks great! It's amazing what paint can do. I hear you on painting kitchen cabinets--I did my own and it was a big project!

  • 16 years ago

    Absolutely love it! Great job!

  • 16 years ago

    I bet you LOVE walking in there now! You've done a wonderful job with this beautiful transformation. Congrats!

    This is beautiful. I was thinking about staining my oak bathroom cabinets a darker brown but after seeing this I will need to reconsider. Your bathroom is just plain beautiful.

    Wow, thanks so much! I really appreciate all the kind words. We're pretty happy with the out come considering the budget we had!
