When we moved into our current home, I was very pregnant and very sick and couldn't have cared less about our basement bathroom. I told my mom to paint it the same off-white that we used in the foyer (which has also since been repainted) just to get it in working order. Since, we have made few changes and have actually had three different tenants use it over the last two years! After Linda, our latest tenant, moved out in May, I have been itching to make that bathroom more welcoming for our future renters and guests. Here is my project, done! It is SO gratifying and I now just LOVE it down there, a room that I used to avoid! And, might I add, this amazing transformation cost us a total of only $55!
BEFORE
AFTER
Wall color: Wal-Mart's Color Place paint in Pale Spruce $12. Since this isn't our main bathroom, using a cheaper all-purpose indoor paint will still last for a few years without chipping or bubbling.
Shower Curtain: Bed Bath and Beyond, though I saved $10 by buying on Ebay! Cost $30 after shipping.
Wall shelf: Target $14.99
I couldn't be happier with how it turned out, especially on such a low budget. I was motivated to finish it before our next renter moves in in August, now on to painting our upstairs bathroom and all my other projects... :)
it looks fantastic, Kathryn! I love it. Well done with the price, too!
