We just updated our bathroom. Woot Woot!
We only have one bathroom and I was always embarrassed to let people go in there. It wasn’t the ugliest bathroom in the world but I pretty much hated everything about it. I could go on and on about all the things that I disliked but I know the pictures are what you really want to see. So here are the before pics:
I am pretty sure this light was here in 1962 when the house was built. Bleck
These pictures were taken after we had already started working on it. We had thrown away the shower curtain and taken down the decorations. Then we got the bright idea to take before and after photos. Yeah because we are quick like that. Note the hairdryer cord on the floor. It always looked like that.
This is after Adam took the sink out. Um Ew!
Ok now let’s see it after! Are you excited? Yay!
I think I am most excited about the new floor. We couldn’t put tile in there because you have to step up to get in the bathroom and it just wasn’t going to work. But I think we picked a really good vinyl and I am very happy with the way it turned out. The old floor never looked clean and it showed up every little thing.
Do you like the new light fixture? We have a lot of these types of lights around the house. We think they look like boobs. Come on you know they do.
We also didn’t have any under sink storage and even though this vanity cabinet is not very deep I am just happy to have a place to put my hairdryer.
It’s always fun to get a new shower curtain! I found this one at TJ Maxx for $12.99 and the hooks for $4.00! I looked at Target and all the shower curtains I liked there were like 40 bucks. No thank you. Target did have the new rod and liner for $10 each. That I can handle.
I am so happy to have an updated space that actually feels clean after I clean it! I would like to get a fresh coat of paint on the quarter round but for now I am loving the new space.
Now I need your opinion. This iron thingy is hanging in my living room above a doorway. I have another one exactly like it.
Do you think it would look good above the mirror in the bathroom?

Love that shower curtain! I love the iron thingy too. I love the vinyl too. Awesome redo!
We have ONE full bath (God help us with two girls) in our 1968 house. I hate hate the tile. It’s fugly as all get out. I recently painted the walls a pale blue and hung up a new black and white valance and black and white photos and it made a huge difference but the TILE…MY EYES!
Oh my gosh, I love the bathroom, ya’ll did so good!
I know you hated it but it wasn’t honestly as bad as you felt….you’re just the one who had to look at it every day! I think the Iron thing would look good in there too!
I love your new Potty Room!!! Good job!!

Yaye! I am so glad it is finished. I can’t wait to see it in person. But I never thought your bathroom looked bad but this does look really great!
It looks so nice!!
The new bathroom looks amazing, and I do think the iron thingy would go great in there.
Oh, and the light fixture does look like a boob, but a very pretty boob.
LOVE IT! AND yes, put it above the mirror. Do you have Hobby Lobby there? They have some smashing things half price right now that would go to with your new decor.
I love the new look! And I think the iron-thingy would look smashing in your new bathroom.
Love it! Can’t wait to see it in person

Yes, yes, yes. Hang it sister! I am so glad that you now have storage. I think your choices are quite classy and it’s nice to hear that you like it. By the way, the “before” photos belong in an art gallery. That style is seriously making a come back. It’s just not YOUR thing… : )
Anyway, it’s so good to have you back.
That looks very similar to our old Birmingham bathroom. We tried to fix it but it was still small. And there WAS NO OUTLET. I had to dry my hair in the hallway. I’m so glad you like it and it makes you feel better to have it all nice and cute!
You should definitely hang it!
Wow…isn’t it amazing what a difference a bathroom re-do can do for ya?? It looks fantastic!
We have you all beat..
we have 4 people living in a house with 1 bathroom
that was built in..
dun dunn dunn…
1873!!
((yeah,I said 18..))
but we recently got a new fixture for the kitchen
and the first thing I said was..
“wow, that really looks like a boob!”
[true story]
must run in the family.
Your new bathroom looks great! I am severely jealous . . . my bathroom has worse shades of old than your old one did . . . and I’m so not in a position to change it at the moment . . . ho hum.
Love the cabinet, by the way!
Wow - it looks great! Our main bath is totally embarassing and I dream of such a makeover. Enjoy and great job!
