A SheShe Bathroom Makeover: Institutional to Sweet!

This makeover is from a few years ago, 

but it's one of my favorites...

BEFORE: Come on in...

The walls are painted institutional green....

Two large mirrors on the wall.

Below the left is a vanity cabinet,

And the brown countertop goes on and on.....

What a waste of space!

   

Pot lights above the counter...

To the left is the bath/shower.

In the back is the toilet and a window.

And the floor...

It's this weird pickled looking wood...

Let the makeover begin!!!!

I took out the counter and the huge mirrors.

A plumber will be installing the pedestal sink.

For now,  I "patched" the hole in the floor 

leftover from the vanity cabinet.

I installed beadboard on the walls...

Here it is all finished and painted.

I ran it about 2/3rds up the walls

and then added molding.

I installed two medicine cabinets on the wall.

And I added a freestanding narrow console

which I painted white below the second cabinet.

It mimics the look of two sinks..

And the floor!

MY FAVORITE PART...

I painted it in it a two tone diamond pattern.

Then distress sanded and sealed.

I primed, then  painted the walls in BM Yarmouth Blue, 

and all the trim in BM White Dove.

I added all sorts of hooks and wall art....

And remember the window?

I added bulleyes and molding

to beef up the trim.

It looks so much better.

I installed a tortoise shell rattan shade.

On the back wall - the one with no windows -

I added a mirror to reflect light and 

open up the space.

And finally, 

I removed the canned light between the two medicine cabinets

and added this thrift store

pendant light from Restoration Hardware.

To soften that bright overhead light.

Revisit: Before...

And after!

SO much better...

I'd love to see it again, 

but the owners sold the house right after this work!!!

Have a bathroom that needs fixing?????
