DIY DIY Bathroom Remodel on a Budget

So, it's been nigh 3 months since I've concluding blogged, together with I simply desire to give thanks you lot guys for beingness hence supportive via social media. The fourth dimension constraints that come upwardly amongst beingness a novel mom accept been a actually hard adjustment for me, together with since I don't accept many mom friends inward existent life, it's been such a soul-balm to accept this community of women online who accept been downwardly this new-mom route together with tin offering words of kindness together with reassurance when I'm feeling a flake overwhelmed. 

I haven't had the fourth dimension to blog, but Instagram has teach my lifeline to you lot guys inward the past times ix months, equally it's an slow identify I tin percentage things when my twenty-four hours is otherwise jampacked amongst chasing an energetic lilliputian tot around (She's crawling at warp speed now....omg!). So, to all of you lot who accept interacted amongst me lately....thank you. Your words accept done hence much for my lilliputian world, together with I promise inward some means that this weblog pays it forwards together with tin brand someone else experience less lone inward their ain journey. 

So, you lot guys, that's where I am today...chasing this lilliputian daughter around. She's nigh to hold out ix months old, together with my the world has been totally rocked. I'm hence happy together with excited together with hopeful together with filled amongst love, together with also sometimes I'm simply immediately upwardly drowning. But, mostly, I simply desire to hold out honest nigh it all because this mom gig is the hardest matter I've always done, together with I retrieve it's a total disservice to other moms to pretend similar it's easy. But, I dearest her similar crazy together with I wouldn't merchandise this experience for anything.

I mean, simply expression at that precious face. I'm pretty certain she was sent to this planet to intermission me in.

Now that the life updates are out of the way, let's movement on to my pocket-size bath remodel.

I know that's a weird transition, but how does 1 actually speak nigh the trials of maternity together with a crappy bath remodel inward the same post? I'm thinking you lot simply crush them together together with pretend similar it's normal.

So, I latterly spruced upwardly our pocket-size invitee bathroom. It's the same bath that I painted stripes inward a few years dorsum inward this post that went unexpectedly viral. I know a lot of you lot guys loved that bathroom, hence don't teach mad at me. But, sometimes you lot simply teach sick of things together with take to alter it up. And that's how I was feeling nigh this bathroom.

Just to remind you, here's what this bath looked similar when nosotros start moved into the solid nigh v years ago, earlier I did anything to it at all.

And hither is what it looks similar today, afterwards my most recent updates. The proficient tidings for all of us on normal budgets is that this entire bath remodel toll me less than $100 together with pretty much all it took was some slow pigment ideas.

Here's what I did.

I painted the walls amongst 1 of my favorite colors, Benjamin Moore Chelsea Gray. It's a beautiful deep greyness that plant actually good amongst almost anything. It feels modern together with inviting without feeling likewise night or heavy.

For farther examples, I also used it here together with here.

I also removed the builder degree bath mirrors together with hung a framed mirror I establish at a salve store several years ago. It was originally a gross bronze color, but I spray painted it with Krylon Champagne Nouveau (affiliate link) together with I dearest the means it turned out. I kinda retrieve it makes the space.

Also, fyi, that is the my favorite spray pigment color. Hands down. I purpose it on all my mirror frames, including the 1 inward the principal bedroom that hence many of you lot guys inquire me about.

The bath vanity I painted amongst some crude oil based enamel pigment (the same pigment that I used on this dresser), together with and then I updated the hardware amongst some groovy polished nickel pulls.

And then, also, because this vanity is stinky together with one-time together with from the 1970's, I took out all the drawers together with painted the insides of each drawer amongst crude oil pigment inward the color Sherwin Williams Urbane Bronze. I also removed the one-time faucet together with drain, together with replaced it amongst a novel brushed nickel bath faucet. Nothing fancy, but amongst paint, novel hardware, together with a novel faucet, you lot tin actually spruce upwardly an otherwise outdated vanity.

The countertop is simply your basic white faux-marble. It's non great, but when you lot update everything around it, you lot almost don't fifty-fifty encounter it. In an ideal world, I would simply gut this vanity together with start fresh, but I accept a shaver to feed.

I added some artwork to the lilliputian one-half wall. 

Nothing fancy, simply some Homegoods loot.

Also from Homegoods....the lilliputian peony arrangements together with the dark together with white Equus caballus fine art over the toilet.

And that's pretty much the whole makeover!

Oh, together with 1 concluding thing....something that I retrieve makes a huge difference. I painted the bath tile grout. I did a tutorial nigh this years agone when I painted our kitchen together with principal bath tile, together with it continues to hold out 1 of my most pop posts ever. So, that leads me to believe that I'm non the alone 1 trying to figure out how to laid upwardly clean tile grout. :)

So, when it came to this invitee bathroom, the tile inward hither isn't bad. It's simply one-time white marble tile, but the grout was xxx years one-time together with actually needed some help. So, here's the earlier pic. You tin encounter how dingy the grout is.

And here's a film afterwards I painted the walls. You tin encounter simply how much of an eyesore the grout was. 

The production I purpose to pigment grout is called Polyblend Grout Renew (affiliate link), together with for this bath I used it inward Snow White. I in all probability used 10% of this bottle when I painted the tile grout, hence a lilliputian goes a long way. 

And I won't repeat the tutorial (because my original post goes through the entire procedure inward detail), but allow me simply say you....this is the easiest project. It's fourth dimension consuming, but it's hence easy. All you lot take is a toothbrush together with some newspaper towels. 

And perhaps a drinking glass a vino to distract you lot from how irksome it is. 

You tin actually encounter what a large departure it makes when you lot encounter the painted tile grout side past times side to the dingy tile grout.

And 1 time it's done, it's crazy...it genuinely feels similar a novel bath floor. I've done this inward 3 divide rooms now, and in my master bathroom, it held upwardly for nearly 3 years earlier it needed a impact up. So, totally worth the effort.

And that's the novel invitee bathroom, you lot guys. It's crazy how happy this crappy lilliputian room makes me. Nothing inward hither is new, but I spent a lot of fourth dimension inward hither past times myself, sitting on the flooring inward sweatpants hence ugly they should hold out banned, scrubbing tile amongst a toothbrush, listening to podcasts, together with enjoying a few spare moments of somebody peace knowing my precious infant was snoozing blissfully inward the side past times side room. 

So, is this what 32 is supposed to experience like?

Love ya'll.

Thanks for beingness here. 

I've got some major things inward the plant for this jump together with summer, together with I'll definitely hold out blogging nigh it, hence I promise to hold out around a lilliputian to a greater extent than than I accept been. Fingers crossed.
