Bathroom redesign
Bathroom before redesign (Already removed mirror and towel bar)
I was stuck with starch white walls, standard bathroom mirror, over-sized and outdated towel bar and toilet roll holder, and classic 90’s shinny gold light fixture.
Bathrooms are a good place to put wallpaper and patterns on the walls. I found wallpaper that I wanted to put in my 1/2 bath.
- Wallpaper inspiration
Only problem, it was going to cost me over $200 just in wallpaper for that small space! So I decided on the alternative, paint. Only $20 from Lowe’s, now that’s a price I can live with. But I still wanted some pattern and texture to add interest and separation from the other rooms.
- Circle template made out of a tin can with fabric taped around it.
- Adding circles
I started by ripping down all of the outdated fixtures, and patching the walls. Next, put on a coat of olive green as my base. I really liked the pattern of the circles, but wanted them to be more organic. So I used a metal can and taped fabric over it to make my stamp. I think it turned out better than the wallpaper.
To add the finishing touches, I had my husband help me install the new modern mirror/medicine cabinet, towel and toilet roll holders with a dark bronze finish. I was able to paint the light fixture to make it look like the other brushed bronze items and switched out the globes. Saved me about $75 with not replacing the entire fixture.
I am very happy with the end result!
