Our 'finally' finished bathroom

15 years ago

This took us a long time to complete. We started in Jan removing wallpaper and just finished this past weekend. I still need to get a door handle and get some stuff up on the walls but it is close enough.

DH has been traveling a lot so we really only worked on the weekends around the schedule of our 4 year-old. The wainscoting was a bit more complicated than we anticipated (we are not seasoned DIYs) but it looks really nice. The room is small (5x8) so it's difficult to a good picture with my camera.

We took up the 80s vinly flooring and put down tile. I painted the cabinet. Wallpaper came down and then we primed over the red paint. The wall were pretty bad so we put the wainscoting up on the bottom 2/3s of the wall. The fixtures are all new (tub/shower, lav faucets, med cabinet, light fixture, and toilet). I used SW Liveable Green on the upper wall, Honied White on the wainscoting and Ivoire on the cabinet.

Looks like a Restoration Hardware advertisement! Really awesome job! Your friends will probably start asking for your help after they see this transformation. Congrats!

What a lovely bathroom! It is so relaxing and pleasant, the colors are great.

The only suggestion I have (and it is a very minor point) is to put whatever is in the Dove bottle in a pretty container.

Thanks everyone! The paint looks blue in the photos but it is green. There is a green stripe in the shower curtain that you can't see in the photos.

I have been looking for a handsoap dispenser but can't find one that I like yet.
