Bathroom Facelift

Here is the mini-makeover reveal of our bathroom! It's just to tide us over until we can do the major work (floors, vanity, toilet, plumbing changes, etc), but it's amazing what a little scrubbing, scrapping, and painting will do.

The before shots don't quite paint the real picture. The dirt, mildew, cracking, and peeling are rather generously smoothed over by the camera lens. But the room was so bad that our home inspector (who crawls around, in, and under old homes) wouldn't touch anything in the bathroom with his hands when he came!

The upper walls are Sherwin Williams Comfort Gray, the tile, woodwork, and ceiling are all Benjamin Moore Linen White, and the floor is a $5 Sherwin Williams mistint that perfectly coordinates with the adjoining mudroom/laundry in Bennington Gray. Shower curtain, bamboo shades, and towels are from JCPenney Outlet.

  1. Oh, it looks so nice! Gives me images of what our "after" photos can eventually look like.

    After watching our home inspector a few weeks ago, I've often wondered if there was anything they WOULDN'T touch - it has to be pretty bad!

  2. Really nice! You're right, it really does make a huge difference! Almost makes you think all the other changes won't really be necessary :-)
