bathroom detail...

Hello! Thank you so much for all of your kind words about the makeover~isn't that the great thing about blogging? If y'all didn't like it, you just move right on to the next blog, leaving compliments only. I don't think I could ever handle the rate my space stuff. You made my day :)

Okay, I promised you the details! You know I love to go on and on, so brace yourself.
Here is the other area of the bathroom~I found the shower curtain last year on clearance at Target for $6.24. We painted the cabinets black. I still need to add something to the window...I'll let you know when I do...it's on the never-ending "list..."




The saving grace of this bathroom was the white tile in the tub/shower. They may have chosen hideous wallpaper, scalloped sinks with sparkly gold glitter:
and carpet in the bathroom (ewww), but for the tub and tile they chose white. That saved us a lot of $$. The cabinets were ugly, but were in pretty good shape, and just a classic design, so we were also able to just paint those which also saved a lot.

The light fixture is the same one that is in our other bathroom, I just spray painted it black. We got all of our light fixtures at a big lighting clearance last year on Amazon ~this one was $7.50.

A few little accessories:
This is just an apothecary jar filled with white Dove soap. Walgreens had a promotion a few months ago where if you bought 8 dove soaps for .99 each, you got $10 back in their store. I stocked up and thought they would be a great filler.
(sorry about bad lighting in the next pics)

These little ones I found at a yard sale for .10 and .25 and just put some cotton and a loofah in them

We just did a strip of subway tile around the edge of the countertop for a backsplash, picking up the white from the shower. At 22 cents each, they are a cost effective way to get a classic look.

The paint color we used is Benjamin Moore Lenox Tan. I was going to use it in the kitchen, but it didn't look great it there, so I used it in here.

I know a lot of people don't like Wal-mart, but I have found some great deals there:

towel holders $6 each:
toilet paper holder: $7
mirrors $29 each

I'll talk about how we did the counters, cabinets, little planter thing in the middle, and paint in another post, but here is the cost breakdown so far:

new shower curtain: 6.25
black paint for cabinets: $18
simple brushed nickel knobs from Ebay: (.80 X 7) 5.60
brushed nickel spray paint for all of the hinges: $2.99
light fixture above mirrors: $7.50

black framed mirrors from Wal-mart ($29 X 2) $58
white subway tile backsplash: $25

accessories:
