Bathroom Makeover #1
I did a quick makeover on our upstairs guest bathroom. It all started with a towel bar…and it spiraled out of control from there!
I was changing out the ugly oak and brass towel bars in our upstairs bathroom when I discovered that the previous homeowners didn’t remove one of the towel bars before painting their bathroom. Seriously. All I was going to do was update the hardware in the bathroom. But, when I came across a giant white spot on the wall, I had to take matters into my own hands! I removed their medicine cabinet, as well.
I painted the ceiling, walls, (Mom did the) trim, and the cabinets. Take a look!
The closest I have to a "before" photo. You can see the color of the vanity.
Here you can see the awesome paint I used. It’s Valspar from Lowe’s in Satin Java. This type of paint is made for things like cabinets and furniture painting.

The first coat of paint
And….drumroll, please….here is the finished product!!!
The "new" cabinets look great!!
This is just a close-up so you can see the wall color.
Ah…all in a hard day’s work. Pretty soon, we’ll have pictures of bathroom makeovers numbers 2 and 3. We’re moving right along with some of the updates. Many more are on our “someday” wishlist.
Love,
