Today I want to show you the 5th room in our Re-Fabbed home tour~The Master Bath! This room was in desperate need of some attention. It was outdated, run down and just plain dirty. Cobwebs were hanging in corners, the linoleum flooring was coming apart, and the list could go on. I knew this space could be awesome, though. As I have said many times before, it is simply looking past the ugly/outdated and seeing what could be!
Here are a couple of聽pictures of our bathroom before:
So, what do you think? Pretty snazzy huh?!
Did you spot some of the cobwebs?!
I did love the fact that this bathroom was HUGE…and that it had a large walk-in closet in it (no pictures- that is NOT an area that I have re-fabbed yet!), lots of cabinet space and double sinks.
*I really think the key to seeing past what it is at the time is simply looking at all that you DO like. Sometimes that is hard, but soooo worth it in the end.*
Here is the bathroom NOW:
What a major difference!!!
Don’t you just love my tea cart? (That was a fun make-over too!)
I LOVE my counter-tops! They are a solid surface gray speckled…and they were a bit of a splurge, but totally worth it. I DO think I need something in between the 2 sinks, but I am not sure what exactly. I have played with a few things, but I am not in love with anything yet. Any ideas?!
The oval mirrors came from Kirklands, and I thought they added the perfect touch right above the sinks. The paper flower wreath is from TJ Maxx, and it has made its rounds in my home 馃檪 It is an awesome piece of decor (It has even hung on my front door for a few months!).
The canvas painting, which I ADORE, is from Hobby Lobby! I got it half off for $40, and it totally brings life to this room. I love the colors and the vibrancy.
Our white ruffle shower curtain is the perfect accent, bringing light and airy with a touch of feminine into the space. I have always loved ruffle curtains, so I knew before we ever moved that I wanted to incorporate one into a bathroom somewhere. It happened to work perfectly in THIS one 馃檪
The bathtime fun canvas is one I have had for a few years now, and I am not even totally sure where I got it. I believe it came from Hobby 聽Lobby. If you can’t tell, that is one of my very favorite stores!
The little vase in the corner was a dollar store find, and the artificial flowers are left from a wedding I was in a couple of years ago. I thought it looked great paired together, and I loved the shade of green~plus, very little money! (You can even see a little hint of our master bedroom!)
All in all, this bathroom is just a very simple space. There isn’t a whole lot going on in here as far as design, which is what I wanted. I do love the way it turned out! It is very neutral, but has pops of color (which I cannot live without! If you have seen the rest of my house~you know that is true, especially the kitchen.)
Here is a list of the changes we made:
New tile flooring
New solid surface counter-tops
New sinks and faucets
Painted cabinets/Changed hardware
Removed border and large glass mirror
Painted all trim (white) and walls (Valspar~Madeline Steps)
New toilet
Lots of new accessories!
This renovation came in at around $1100 when it was said and done. For the drastic change that was made, not too shabby!
Well, what do you think? I love feedback!
Pin it for later!

Looks great just like everything you do!
Brooke Riley says
Aw Sherrie 馃檪 You are too sweet! Thank you!
Katie says
Um, STUNNING. I’m surprised you didn’t keep that old valance:-) I love what you did with it and that canvas looks amazing against the gray. Gorgeous!
Brooke Riley says
Katie, Thank you!!! You are kind of ruining my surprise…but I actually did save it as a gift for your living room reveal 馃榾 HA! Yes, major difference in that room…and that artwork is my FAVE!
Ted Wood says
Our bathroom is very similar… love what you did! How hard was it to get the giant mirror off the wall? I’m almost afraid to tackle that.
Brooke Riley says
Thank you! All our mirror had on the back was double sided tape, so it was a very easy job. If liquid nails or something of that sort was used, it would be a much harder job because it would more than likely tear the Sheetrock. So, to answer your question- mine was easy but it totally depends on how it is attached to your wall!
Ted Wood says
Thank you!

Beautiful transformation and I love the pop of color in the art print that’s reflecting same colors off the bedroom. Thanks for sharing.
Brooke Riley says
Thank so much! 馃檪 I love gray…but I HAVE to have some color!!!

Brooke –
Your bathroom makeover is beautiful! I love the painted cabinets and bright pops of color! I want to paint all our cabinets white too! I hate the 80’s orange oak they are now. One day I will be brave enough to tackle this! Thank you for sharing at Dream. Create. Inspire. Link! I hope we’ll see you again this week!

Condo Blues says
I have a standing hand towel holder in between the double sinks in my master bath. It’s part of a 3 item display that includes the soap dish.
Brooke Riley says
I think I have figured out what I am going to do there…but I haven’t gotten everything yet. I hope to share soon! Thank you for sharing!
Aspen Jay says
Can I just applaud you Brooke? Your bathroom looks night and day better! Love the light colors you choose with the pop of color from the painting. So pretty! Such a lovely space in your house and its just the bathroom! 馃檪

Dale says
In between the sinks maybe you can put a round tray to coral items & a stand alone hand towel holder since I don’t see any in these pics. Or I picked up some over the cabinet door hand towel holders from the dollar store that I use in the kitchen but would also work in your bathroom.
Everything looks awesome in your home. You sure do have the knack.
Jeri says
I love your style…colorful and pretty and happy! I would love to know the paint color on the walls!!!
Brooke Riley says
Thank you very much! It is Madeline Steps by Valspar I believe. I got it at Lowes.
Brooke Riley says
Thank you so much, Jeri! The color on the walls is Madeline Steps by Valspar.
