Bathroom – before and after

February 9th, 2012

Our sad little downstairs half-bath was remodeled last week. Yippee! And now, for the long-anticipated photos …

BEFORE

A depressing streaky, bad sage green paint job covered the walls before. And I never understood towel bars over the toilet. I don’t need a towel at the toilet.

This is an example of  some of the paint job in the room.

Vine-covered country-looking light fixture was just not our bag.

AFTER

Love the new blue-green color! May be hard to see the difference in photos, but it is very different. We chose a funky magazine rack/art piece for the wall. And we’re getting a piece of art framed for above the toilet.

And here are the major improvements. (By the way, it’s not easy to get photos in a tiny room!) New vanity with new counter and faucet. Big oval mirror and light fixture from Lowe’s. And a towel ring next to the sink. Now that makes sense.

I stole this photo from the mudroom – which I replaced with a clock in there.

A simple change like a new vent cover really helps. Why didn’t we get rid of that nasty old one before?

And now I have storage drawers! Way better than two big open cabinets.

Organized storage: a thing of beauty!

And here is one very happy customer, who filled up those new drawers in just minutes with her things!
