Making Spaces

Hello Reader,

How we're so close to Christmas I do not know - however, I'm looking ahead to the new year and hoping to *finally* tackle some projects. To keep inspired, I've been looking back at some of my past Before & Afters for this series (list at the bottom) and this little bathroom goes down as one of my all time favorites!

While it was a complete remodel, it also included lots of quick updates that could be done separately (mirror, light fixture, tile, shelves). Check it out below & let me know what you think!

Also, keep reading to the end and see a bookshelf interview I did (wheeee!!!)

BEFORE:

There was nothing really *wrong* with this bathroom seen here as we moved in. It was ok. Well, the vanity was a leftover kitchen cabinet - resourceful, but way too tall for a bathroom! Plus, I had visions of light, high contrast, wood, and more natural vibes.

Since we were remodeling other areas, I folded this space into the mix (which usually saves money in the end).

There's a full article with details and sources but here are the highlights:

• Painted walls neutral white (Chantilly Lace)
• Painted Accent Wall Black (Iron Ore)
• Replaced Vanity
• Add Half Wall Tile a neutral white
• Replaced Mirror
• Changed Light Fixture
• Added Shelves Above Toilet
• Replaced blinds with woven wood shades
• Changed Toilet (the old one was incredibly low)
• Updated Bathroom Hardware

Part of whole house remodel info:

• Installed new white oak wood floors
• Updated trim work
