the guest bathroom makeover

the guest bathroom 

was disgusting and outdated

it was embarrassing to let people use it

it seemed to never be able to get clean and it grossed us out 

 why a wooden toilet paper holder?

our house is only like 10 years old!

 we were nervous to do anything because we knew it all needed to be re-done

and that's a lot of work and money

but we were watching fixer upper one day

and decided it was time to get crackin'

 henry loves to be involved in all of our projects

 we took a chance and ordered our tile from amazon

and we were so happy with it! no broken pieces and exactly what we wanted

 prepping the floor for tile

i layed the mortar and tile while michael cut the tiles in the garage

 michael grouted it

 done and so pretty!

 new toilet! it's a toto drake (super nice) that my brother hooked us up with

 our first attempt with a wall color was a flop

it turned out to be way too royal blue and not the vibe we were going for

 michael nailed the board and batten

love it!

 we debated between a new vanity, rehab-ing our old vanity or a pedestal

and i'm so glad we found this pedestal

it keeps the room feeling big and airy and looks so pretty

 new paint color

much better (although the blue looks way less offensive in pictures than it did in person)

 new faucet

 time for a new light

 henry and olive taking a shower :) 

 michael had his head in the ceiling 

replacing the old fan with one that has a light on it 

 finally found  a mirror at world market

we agree we don't 100% love it

but it was super cheap on sale and the right dimensions so it'll work for now

 ta da!!!!

all done

we ordered this light from west elm and it's really pretty 

 i still loved these pictures i had on this wall so we put them back

the bright colors look cool against the dark wall

i am so happy with how this bathroom turned out

it's so pretty and bright and updated! 

michael really nailed it

and thanks to my mom for giving us some extra money from her inheritance so we could afford it 

now the only untouched room downstairs is the laundry room

we'll get to that sometime

but we've made a TON of progress in the 18 months we've been in this house 

and it makes me so happy
