Master Bathroom Reveal

Last week I shared the Master Bedroom, today I get to share with you the corresponding Master Bathroom.  First, I need to point out that although it is titled Master Bathroom, it really should be in lower cases.  The bathroom is very small, only 5'x7', and 2'of that 7' is taken up by the bathtub, leaving 5'x5' of floor space. ***meaning photos are a little difficult***

Here is a reminder of the master bedroom.  When doing the bathroom, I wanted to bring in the blue from the dressers and the coral of the lampshades.

And that is what I have done.

Here is a before photo, showing the same cabinet and the floor.

The cabinet had a cherry finish and the floor was a press and stick tile.  The flooring really needed to be removed.  There was 3 layers of flooring above the sub-floor, which meant I was unable to use a rug to cover up the not so good tile job.

Again, I chose to paint the sub-floor.  And again, it is a temporary solution until we get around to purchasing hardwood flooring.  But I don't believe in living with uglies, so out it went.

I also painted the cabinet, I wanted a lighter feeling in the room.  I went with Sea Salt from Sherwin Williams, which is the same color as the dressers.

The other major issue with our bathroom is lack of storage.  Yes, we have under the sink space, but I like to have things out, and easy to get to, and easy to put away.  Hence the wall of shelves.

I have used these shelves in all of our bathrooms, I love them.  And the best part is they were free.  I just had to remove them from the basement.  I did sand them and aged them with some stain and touched up the bright brass brackets with some oil rubbed bronze spray.

The other money saving solution I used was for the window.  After making new curtains for the bedroom, I was able to recycle the old curtains for the bathroom.

All I had to do was shorten them a bit, to allow light to come in the top and add a small garland to pop in some of the coral.

So from a dark little bath to a lighter, more colorful spot to start the our mornings.  And all of this cost me $15 (most everything was leftovers or up-cycled).
