Master Bathroom Makeover

When we first moved into our home, 

we knew we would be doing some work on the master bathroom.

The walls were painted a strange pink-periwinkle color that neither of us liked.

There was exposed piping beside the toilet from a bidet that had previously occupied the space.

I had tried various things to cover up the piping, 

but we really just needed a complete bathroom makeover.  

Are you ready for some before and after photos?

Gotta love this tile back splash, right?

I began by removing and staining all the cabinets and the trim. 

Then, while those dried I painted the walls a creamy ivory.

It was a lot of work, but SO worth it.

As far as color scheme goes, I went completely neutral. 

I wanted to give us some wiggle room in the future 

when we replace the toilet, sink and counter top.

Adding handles to the cupboards made a huge difference.

Hobby Lobby has so much to choose from, it took me a few weeks before I could even decide.

I was really nervous about painting the tile around the sink area, 

but I am in love with the way it turned out.

I couldn't be more pleased.

Since everything was so neutral, 

I built a little planter to fit in the windowsill for a pop of color.

A basket of good reading beside the toilet. :)

I am a candle fanatic.  

I know my mother is laughing as she reads this.

When I was a teenager, 

my bedroom looked like a shrine there were so many candles everywhere. :)

So I had to include just a cluster of candles in our bathroom.

So there you have it. 

I will write another post in the near future with details about how I built the table next to the toilet, and how I painted the counter top.

I hope you all have a wonderful day.
