I started working on the bathrooms over the Thanksgiving break. I (umm...really it was my fantastic MIL and hubs) painted the master bathroom. They did the walls, I came back later and sanded and painted the cabinets, put in the hardware. Then over the Christmas break my Pops came and installed the new faucets, I hung up all of the new stuff/decor for the walls. :0)
Then sometime in Feb. I painted the guest bathroom and finally over our spring break last week, I did the cabinets in there!
ALL FINISHED!
I can't get over the transformation!
Neither of my bathrooms really had a look or style at all. Just a hodge-podge of stuff. NOW, they look classy and...well, fabulous (IMO of course!)
I'll break down the costs as best as I can because I still sit back in joyful shock over how very much can be done for such a little cost (at least for me!)
Master bathroom:
Paint (my MIL bought the paint and supplies..:0))
cabinet paint ($24...I think..at the most)
new rugs ($24 and $14)
new stuff for the walls (this is hard for me to remember because I got them all at Hobby Lobby 50% off over a YEAR AGO!...I knew one day I would want the fleur de'lis in my bathroom...so maybe....$80) Some of the stuff I've had forever and spray painted black....like the basket over the door that has fake greenery in it.
hardware for cabinets ($15)
So for ME....around $145!
when I took this photo I thought we were only going to paint the walls so I didn't care about getting a shot with the cabinets in it
then I came back and took this shot. It's after the walls had been painted but before the cabinets.
This just does NOT do the bathroom justice. The walls are a tan/brown "paperbag" and the one wall (reflected in the mirror) is a deep red. :0)
this was just a fun shot to show where the two colors meet and my nifty fake plant holder.Guest bathroom:
Paint ($14....just the green wall paint, I had plenty of cabinet paint and supplies)
shower curtain and new decorative towel ($40 BUT I used a Christmas gift card for that)
hardware for cabinets ($15)
all of the decorations came from other places in my home. :0)
So for ME....$29!
I JUST LOOOOOVE them! I want to live in my bathrooms. They are the ONLY rooms in my house completely finished and I can't wait to do more now! :0)
Wow, Sis! It really is amazing. You are awesome! Way to go.
Looks sooo pretty.
*I* want to live in your bathrooms!
They look fantastic!
Miss ya, Robin!

P.S.
I like the new look of the blog!

You do remember that this house needs work, right? Your talent should not go wasted. ;-)
awesome job!! I know you are so excited! I remember i wanted to sleep in the guest/James's bath when we re-did it, too funny! I can't wait to do our master bath, but sadly, it's low on the priority list right now.
Awesome job! I know you are excited. I remember when we finally re-did the guest/James's bath, I wanted to sleep in it, too funny. Now if I can only get the master done...sadly it's way down on the priority list!
Oh my. That is a beautiful transformation! You have sold me on the black cabinets!
I tried to comment a few minutes ago ... sorry if I double up, but I have to tell you how beautiful your bathrooms are. Really. The black cabinets are stunning!
Just stopping by and catching up on your goings on... GFG mentioned the cabinets awhile back... My bath and kitchen cabinets are on my "to do" so I thought I'd check yours out - Very nice!!
Maybe I'll holler when I start mine :0)
