My guest bathroom makeover before and after

6 years ago

I've always been wanting to remodel all the bathrooms in the house. I finally took the time to finish my first guest bathroom makeover as a test. I thought it turned out not too bad! It's also a lot cheaper than expected. The total cost is about $800 for this bathroom. Paint (not much plus DYI free labor), Knob - $10, Marble countertop, sink and installation - $380, Faucet - $150 (Home Depot), Wallpaper 1 roll - $70 (a little hard to see in pic), Mirror $80 (Target), new light fixture $90 (Lowe's), caulk $5


The most difficult part is removing the old backsplash (such a pain!) and put up wallpaper. Minor inconvenience to install faucet and light fixture

    It is beautiful. Just shows that a lot can be accomplished with a small budget. Working with the space you have within the confines of the walls is a lot cheaper than removing walls and moving plumbing

    Now you deserve a manicure for a job well done.

    Very nicely done! I’ve been wanting to do my powder room just to experiment with colors and such before a total Master Bath Reno. Thank you for putting in the costs, too.

    Excellent transformation of your guest bath! Very smart.


    So well done. It is amazing what you accomplished for less than $800 and your own labor. I'm impressed :) This is exactly the type of refreshing of space that is appropriate when putting your home on the market. Not that you are thinking of selling, but for homeowners that do plan to sell, they should follow your lead!

    What a beautiful transformation, I like the dark hardware that matches the mirror and light fixture, great job.

    Looks quite good. A guest bath or powder room is where I love to go really wild! Love to add drama, contrast, pattern and color. For example:

    Nice transformation and inspiring.


    Were you able to remove the mirror yourself? Was it glued to the drywall?

  • 6 years ago

    @Architectural Notice Yes the mirror was glued to the drywall. It’s not too hard to remove with the pry bar

  • 6 years ago

    My husband said to ask if you had to repair or replace part of the drywall? In other words, did removing the mirror damage the drywall?

  • 6 years ago

    @ Architectural Notice it did take some paint off during the removal process so it depends on whether you count that as damaging the wall. You would probably need to do some patching and repainting of small areas after you take off the mirror

    Well done! It's beautiful. Is the wallpaper behind the mirror? Does it have a pattern? In the photo it almost just looks like you painted the wall grey.

  • 6 years ago

    @Kat yes it looks very similar to the painted wall. It does have a subtle pattern. Looks a little more obvious in person

    WOW!

    Looks awesome! Can I ask where you got the vanity/countertop?

  • 6 years ago

    @Ashley B The vanity was already there when we bought the house, I just painted it. I ordered countertop from a local marble/quartz fabricator. They do all the cutting and installing. The price is by square foot and typically includes everything. If you search “marble supplier” on google map, you should see a bunch come up

    Such a sleek new look! Looks great!

    So elegant and gorgeous! My hubby and I are DIY'ers and our theory is why pay someone to do something we can do ourselves and saving lots of $$$!

    stunning! I know this post is old but I've been looking at before and after photos for inspiration. This is a huge inspiration!
