Bathroom Reveal

Confession time, with the craziness of my first week back at school, I knew I wouldn't have time to do any fun projects. So, I saved my big bathroom reveal for today so I could get in on the fun at DIY Day and Transformation Thursday. I've been holding out on y'all with these pictures, forgive me?

Be sure the head on over to both of these lovely blogs for much more project eye candy.

And now, the bathroom! Let's take a look see back at the shudder worthy before pictures.

Remember the exposed under the sink clutter?

The brass fixtures? The mirror with scratched glazing?

Oh yeah, and the rotted hole in the wall and rusty heat unit? Well, they are all no more! We couldn't do a complete overhaul because 1. the bathroom is teeny tiny and normal fixtures would not fit in this pint sized space, and 2. this is not our forever house, we only plan to rent the roost for a couple of years. Even so, things are looking pretty good.

First, I made an easy peasy no-sew sink skirt out of dish towels.

Then, Brad worked a little magic and turned the brass light fixtures a lovely brushed nickle.

I turned a couple of extra dish towel into hand towels with the help of some clip art and iron on transfer paper.

To fix the mirror issue, I painted a five dollar mirror from Wally World white, and used some sage ribbon to hang it in front of the built in mirror. Note: I still want to clean up the sink area a bit. I'm on the look out for a carafe to hold the mouthwash, and I want to try some bar keeper's friend to shine things up a bit.

I just used plain printer paper to cover up the old mirror.

My dad tore out the rotting wainscoting and Sheetrock, (you don't even want to KNOW what it looked like back there!) patched the wall, and added new new bead board. He also found some high heat white spray paint to give our base board heat new life.

I love it! I feel like the bathroom has gone from truck stop to spa!

Thanks to my dad and Brad for working on the hard parts!
