Master Bathroom Makeover Reveal

by 51 Comments

We did it! We completed our second One Room Challenge (along with over 180 other bloggers) and finished our master bathroom makeover in 6 weeks. As predicted, there were some bumps, but all in all we completed the vision and have been enjoying our completely made over space.

Let’s look at the before pictures.

Pretty builder grade standard which was actually perfect for my intentions of using the bones of what I had and sprucing it up with some paint and little additions!

Here was the process of our master bathroom makeover

  1. Remove backsplash and spray paint counters
  2. Paint gray walls and baseboards
  3. Paint vanity
  4. Spray paint light fixture and hardware
  5. Paint black wall
  6. Remove toilet, lay and grout floors and backsplash
  7. Caulk floors at the baseboards, around toilet, and caulk backsplash
  8. Build, stain and mount mirror trim. Stain towel rack
  9. Mount shelves, vanity hardware, and towel rack
  10. Decorate
  11. Use the glorious bathroom finally!!

And OF COURSE share with my wonderful friends and readers who have been so sweet to see it finished!

Even my little snuggle bug is loving the space.

Picture overload! Every angle is so different and fresh that I couldn’t resist. (And throwing a squishy baby in the mix was too tempting to pass up.) I’ll go into some of the decision points and product reviews in the next week. There’s just too much beauty to take in as well as text!

As promised here is a cost breakdown of what went into this makeover. My initial budget was $100, but that didn’t happen. Still, I was quite pleased with how much we did to this space with the dollar amounts below! I broke the costs between the actual items that made the makeover and the additional decor items I purchased per my taste. Anything not listed (paint, caulk, decor, extra hardware) we already had on hand!

So you see?! A fabulous bathroom makeover doesn’t have to cost you an arm and a leg or break your back. Never underestimate the power of paint and mirror trim in a bathroom. Oh and vinyl peel and stick floor! It’s so easy to install and requires no tile saws. And you can grout it which makes it look totally legit.

Leave any questions below and I’ll get to them. Thanks for following along friends!

    What a huge transformation! I’d be impressed at any budget, but pulling it off under $250? So impressive! I think all the copper accents are my fave. Those shelves above the toilet look especially awesome.

    Such a great transformation on such a low budget! Love the bold colour and the copper details! It looks so pretty and modern, and the baby is super, super cute!

    STUNNING AND INSPIRING!!
    Question- can you lay this peel+stick tile over existing tile (ours is the same size), or does it have to be layed on subfloor or the like? Thanks!

    I don’t know how I found this page but I did and my partner and I have fallen in love with the simple yet stylish design you pulled together. We’re intending to use it as the inspiration for redoing our master bath. We’ve the same ’80s base to work with (it’s eerie really). So thanks so much for sharing. How is everything holding up two months later? Anything you would have done differently?

      Hi Jessica! So funny, but I do think this type of bathroom is everywhere! I am about to do a post about how everything is is holding up! I think the only piece that I’m slightly concerned with is the spray painted counter. I’ll be taking some pictures and trying to explain my thoughts on it soon!
