From Dreary to Dreamy - Our Half Bath Overhaul

Warts and all. That's how we bought our 1960's house. We loved many things about the house but knew there were also lots of things we wanted to change, most of them cosmetic. After 2 previous bathroom renovations in the house, we finally addressed the worst one...the half bath.

We wanted a fresh look for this bathroom. Everything in here was replaced with new fixtures and a soothing palette.





Here's how it looked when we bought it. Dated wallpaper, a pink mini blind, a green sink, a green toilet with a white seat, and carpet. Mmmm, yes. Carpet in a bathroom. Now you know why we replaced it all.
I used a mirror that I found at a flea market years ago. And I made some DIY artwork for the walls. The tutorial for this is in the full post on my blog.
A simple flush mounted, decorative light fixture lights up the space.
We chose a wood-look tile for the floors. I love the subtle pattern and colors. And it's so much more practical for a bathroom that real wood floors (or carpet!).





It's hard to believe how much different the space looks. Sometimes those ugly ducklings do actually turn into beautiful swans!
