DIY Guest Bathroom

9 years ago

Hubby decided to re-do our guest bathroom in our 1980's home. What started as a weekend project became several months of weekends but the finished product was worth the wait. He did everything himself except for the vanity (purchased from Fairmont Designs.) He had to patch the wood floors because the new vanity wasn't quite the same size as the old cabinet. Also ripped out that weird soffit light box and sheet rocked the wall and ceiling. He built all the wainscoting and we chose a light gray for the walls. Still shopping for artwork but all in all I think we did this for less than $4K.

    I love it. The new mirror, vanity and countertop are very nice looking.

    I bookmarked the page for inspiration and ideas as I have a bathroom that needs an update.

    Did your husband you a sprayer for the wainscoting and is it the same color as the vanity?

  • 9 years ago

    @StephE, the color of the vanity is not quite the same as the walls/wainscoting. The vanity was purchased pre-finished (it has a glossier finish than the wainscoting). My husband says he used Flow Control additive (I think that's the name of the brand) to the paint to eliminate brush marks. The actual paint color for the wainscot and wall is Western Acoustic from Kelly Moore.

    Amazing job. Your bathroom is almost exactly like our guest bath. Where did you purchase your vanity?
