NOTHING! Can you believe that? I’m half super proud and half horrified… what a missed opportunity.
In other news… I finished the final project of the master bathroom this weekend! We have this super cheapo cabinet in our bathroom but it was dark brown and didn’t go with the lighter color scheme in the bathroom, so I updated it:
Here’s how it started:
So I primed it and spray painted it with Rustoleum’s Heirloom White. I had a hardware backplate leftover from updating my cabinets, so I used it on the door. I really like how it pulls this piece in with the cabinets:
Then I used some leftover fabric from my DIY Upholstered Valance, cut it to fit and used Elmer’s Craft Spray Adhesive to add it to the back of the open shelves in the cabinet:
Don’t you love quick projects? I think this took me 3 hours beginning to end (including drying type for the spray paint).
I think it looks much better in the space and not quite as I-bought-this-off-the-shelf-at-Walmart. (Not that there’s anything wrong with Wally-world. I certainly do my fair share of shopping there). Plus, since I only used stuff I had on hand, this was a $0 project!
Since this was the final project in this room, the Master Bathroom is officially complete. Look for a reveal later this week (when I clean up a little and get around to taking pictures).

I love what you've done with the shelf. I wish I could get up the nerve to paint some of my furniture!

Looks great Maury! Isn't it amazing what some white paint will do :)

ReplyDeleteNothing else? Total blog crime. ;) The shell looks beautiful. Yay for easy fixes!

ReplyDeleteYou must teach us your IKEA resistant ways. Not that I have been more than twice in my life. :P But still. The shelf's new look is great!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea!! You are my hero! :)
ReplyDeleteWally-world!!! LOL feels like it in there sometimes, doesn't it. hahaha Great cabinet upgrade
ReplyDeleteFantastic job, Maury! I'm very surprised that you didn't buy anything at IKEA...good for you. I'm really a sucker for their thin cotton dish towels with red stripes down the sides they are super cheap and fit in with my French farmhouse look! :)
ReplyDeleteI love this makeover. The IKAT fabric is to die for and adds such a fun element to a bathroom none the less.

ReplyDeleteWhoa! What a difference! I especially love the Ikat peeking behind the shelves.
