Who wants to see a makeover!!

So its reveal time for the bathroom. I do have to say that I'm really impressed with myself! I think it came out awesome!!(if I do say so myself). More importantly it took me about 4 hours of work and I was well below budget. So lets see the before again to give you a reminder of what I was up against.


As you saw with my prior post the bathroom was plain and white, with the wonderful pink tile floors! I was going for a more soothing feeling in the bath reminiscent to the Cape Cod Style.


I know you probably cant tell what paint I used because I'm not the cleanest when It come to this sort of thing, but if you are looking for a No VOC paint then look no further Than The Freshaire Choice from Home Depot. There is no smell at all and they use a dye pack to color the paint. It can be a little pricey at around 45 Dollars a can but well worth the investment for the environment as well as the no smell feeling. Now I already had this paint left over from another project so I did not have to include it in my total cost for the makeover. This color is called tranquil pond.


First up was the taping and the painting. Which took me all of 2 hours from start to finish!



I found these knobs at Target. I was originally going to get some wooden knobs and then spray paint them a chrome color, but these where actually a little cheaper and I think look better.



And of course the best part is the accessorising! I had these green pots in my dinning room but little hands kept touching so i figured they would like there new home here better.


Remember how everything was being bounced off this color pallet. So are you ready!!



How great does this look! I cant wait for my kids to go to bed, put on some music have a glass of merlot and sit in the tub!

Isn't that fabulous!! It is also one of my key points to making this blog. As a military family we always have extra stuff on hand most of the time from all of our moving around. It doesn't take allot to make a room beautiful!
