Master Bathroom Makeover

So I kind of dropped off the face of the earth last week… I don’t even have a good excuse like I was super busy. I just didn’t really have anything to post about since I kept forgetting to take the pictures of the Master Bathroom. Then I didn’t really feel like making up something.

So today is the last day of my twenties… more on that tomorrow, but to cheer myself up I finally have the Master Bathroom reveal for you.

Bathroom Makeover
Here’s a trip down memory lane and what she used to look like…

I don’t know why there’s an ottoman in this picture. Your guess is as good as mine.

Anyway, before, the bathroom was dark, lacked serious privacy and I really hated the hunter green color and the lighting fixtures in here:

We bought the vanity lights at the Habitat Restore for $4.50 (and spray painted them) and purchased new globes on ebay for $7each. I think that was a huge improvement. We (and by we, I mean John) also moved the overhead light to over the tub and installed a chandelier.

Please note: I do not recommend putting in a chandelier over your tub since it’s not to code. When and if we sell this house in the future, we will probably have to change it. But oh, it does look so pretty.

I don’t know why the chandelier looks off center in this picture, but I promise, it’s not.

Obviously, we also painted the ceiling and vanities blue (Valspar’s La Fonda Mirage), painted the walls Benjamin Moore Linen White and added crown molding. I updated the tower with some spray paint and fabric behind the shelves:

We also added privacy to the windows with Wallpaper for Windows and made a custom valance (for $30):

Overall, I think it’s a pretty huge transformation:

These pictures were taken around the same time of day (but I will say I’ve learned how to use my camera better so that helps a lot).

What do you think? Come back tomorrow. I have a great giveaway in honor of my 2nd 29th birthday!

  5. You guys do good work!! It has come a looooong way. Maybe the ottoman was there because you were pretending it was a stool for your bathroom? ;)

  7. It turned out so pretty! You guys did a fantastic job, its like night and day in there. I think painting the walls white and adding the accent color in the pale aqua makes the room look so much larger and brighter! :)

    I can still remember when I turned the big 30...sigh. HA

  21. Happy 29th (again)!

    Love a blue ceiling - I have a few myself! Too funny that you had an ottoman in front of the toilet - I guess your hubs did a lot of relaxing up there?!

    Those lights were a steal and they look fabulous - and of course a chandelier is always a good thing (code schmode)!

    So glad you joined our Color party!

  36. This is just lovely! I love the blue color of the vanities and the chandy above the tub. What a luxury.

    I'm also a huge fan of the shower curtain. I love myself a good monogram. We have a monogram shower curtain (in storage because we don't have a tub for it in this house) and it was one of my favorites. We'll definitely be putting it up again some day.

    Stopping over from Serenity Now.
