Bathroom Make Over

BEFORE:

AFTER:

I started my bathroom make over back in September as part of 30 day challenge. Needless to say, I have failed that challenge miserably. Although I did finish everything before Christmas, I didn't bother to report on it. For that I'm so sorry! 

Anyway, here is the quick and cheap remodel that consisted mostly of repainting everything in sight - from ceiling to the bathroom cabinets. We also added shelves and changed all the hardware. I planned on spending about $300 on this make over but ended up with over $500 hole in budget. It seems that much wasn't needed but when you start adding those small items together, it catches up to ya. I hope you can see how dramatic of a change is here and how much better it looks now!

Bathroom Inspiration {House Make Over}

As some of you know, we bought a house about a year ago and thank God it was in good enough condition to move in right away. We did a few paint jobs in bedrooms and closets but nothing major. Now, more than year later, I'm so sick and tired of my ugly bathroom that I can't even go in there without loathing everything about it. I hate the color of the walls (ugly sand brown) and the blue built in plastic tub (yup, it's blue!). It's time to change things up but my budget is very limited as we need to change heating in half the house. Husband says it's more important than bathroom looking pretty (blah blah blah). So, I'm taking on myself the monumental task of remodeling our bathroom with lots and lots of DIY projects. It's going to take time, patience and new-skill learning.
My bathroom is tiny (I mean, it's really small) so I want to use the visual tricks of designers with lighter paint, and low contrast. Grey, white and more grey is what I'm gravitated towards with some of these as inspiration. Thank God for Pinterest because I don't know how people did anything back in the day without this handy tool.
Have any of you done anything like this before? Re-doing a room on the cheap? Please share some of your ideas, tips and tricks. Thanks for stopping by!
