DIY Easy DIY Ideas for Updating Your Bathroom!

 I've spent the past times 2 weeks updating our old, outdated primary bathroom. I did it all myself, together with amongst a budget of less than $100. I'm together with thus excited to live live able to part all the DIY details amongst you!

My means of working amongst a pocket-sized budget is to focus on what I tin dismiss alter cheaply together with brand the best of what I have. I would dear to upgrade to a fancy drinking glass shower together with gorgeous marble countertops, but that's but plainly unrealistic for us correct now. In the meantime, I wanted to at to the lowest degree upgrade the infinite past times using a few inexpensive diy tricks I convey upwards my sleeve, most of which demand paint! Hopefully this volition deal laissez passer yous some ideas & solutions for your ain outdated bathrooms!

So, hither is what the bath looks similar today.

I decided I wanted our primary bath to live a fresh, create clean aqua blue. I decided upon Sherwin Williams Sea Salt, which is my absolute favorite color. 
I fifty-fifty used it inward my closet!

Now, pair yourselves.
 Here is what the bath looked similar 2 years agone when nosotros moved in. 

 

We had peachy-beige walls together with orange, grainy cabinetry. 

Here's a side past times side:

The real get-go matter I did inward this bath was to pigment the cabinetry together with trim. It's an easy, affordable solution, together with e'er helps to update an outdated space.

See my best trim back epitome tips here.

I also changed out the hardware on the vanity. I decided to switch it upwards a flake past times putting circular knobs on the drawers together with vertical pulls on the doors. I dear adding picayune personalized touches similar that.

Luckily, the quondam possessor had already installed gorgeous faucets together with crisp white sinks, together with thus those stayed. 

The tile countertops were painted white using the same production I used here. It's such an slow update, together with means cheaper than replacing your countertops. 

See that lather heart together with picayune canister? Both came from my favorite thrift store. I remember they were most $2 each.

I also painted the grout on our flooring tile. It was kinda dingy, together with grout pigment was an slow solution. Here's that business office of the projection halfway through. You tin dismiss meet where the restored white grout runs into the old brown grout.

Here's the grout completely done together with looking create clean together with new!

You tin dismiss meet how I pigment my grout here.

I also scored a cute floral shower drapery together with bath mat at Marshall's.

After epitome stripes inward the guest bath, I wanted to practise something particular here, too. So, I institute some large cardboard letters at the arts and crafts shop together with spray painted them white. 

I stuck them to the wall amongst some wall hanging adhesive.

Now, onto the side past times side business office of this bathroom, the mirror.  In the invitee bath, I removed the structure degree mirror together with hung a framed mirror. However, inward the primary bath I ran into a problem. The mirror was attached to the wall amongst adhesive rather than screwed inward similar the other bath. Rather than bargain amongst having it shatter into a 1000000 pieces, I decided to build a frame but about it.

Here's the earlier pic. You tin dismiss meet that but about the edges the mirror was discolored together with looked awful.

So, the nosotros went to Lowe's together with picked out some inexpensive faux-wood trim. Faux forest was definitely the means to become for this because non solely was it cheaper ($6 per 6ft piece), but the synthetic forest was also actually lightweight together with much easier to hang.

Here is the finished mirror, all framed in. After nosotros glued the frame to the mirror, I caulked the gaps together with painted the entire frame white.

I remember it looks together with thus much improve than the old structure degree builder mirror.

 

Oh, together with my budget dried upwards earlier I could larn a can newspaper holder thingy, together with thus for now, the can newspaper has a bowl. 

Just keepin' it real.

Here's the stance from the other way. 

You tin dismiss meet out into the bedroom.

(Take the bedchamber tour here. Prepare to laugh.) 

And in that place ya convey it: Our picayune bluish primary bathroom!

It's zilch special, but it's together with thus much improve than before. It feels totally refreshed together with new, together with it no longer makes me cringe when I walk in.

And that, my friends, is a success!
