We will probably be remodeling Avery’s very beige and boring rest room right into a enjoyable and delightful house. Better of all, we will probably be working with all the present supplies to maintain it tremendous budget-friendly!
Hey pals! For those who’ve been right here some time, then you definitely in all probability know that we have been in our present home nearly precisely 1 12 months! I used to be not too long ago requested on Instagram if we have been operating out of areas to work on. I laughed out loud and defined that we nonetheless have PLENTY to work on. We have not touched a single rest room in our home. Each single one among them is beige, boring and outdated. Do not consider me? You may take the “earlier than” excursions of our home right here and right here.
We talked so much about demolishing the loos and ranging from scratch as a result of we actually do not look after the brown tile. However this is the factor… There’s completely nothing unsuitable with the loos. There are not any leaks. There are not any cracked tiles. The bathtubs, sinks and vanities are all in nice form. The loos are outdated, however that is actually the one factor “unsuitable” with them.
So in the long run, I simply could not wrap my head round ripping the whole lot out and ranging from scratch. It felt wasteful from a cloth standpoint AND from a funds standpoint. Particularly for our women’ loos. I imply they’re KIDS. I grew up in a home with just one rest room, so I really feel prefer it’s fairly wonderful that they’ve their very own loos. I undoubtedly do not feel like we ought to be spending many hundreds on {dollars} on children loos that are not damaged.
That is what Avery’s rest room at present appears like.
Nevertheless, y’all know me properly sufficient to know that simply because we determined in opposition to a full transform does NOT imply I made a decision to only settle for its outdated aesthetics. NOPE. As an alternative, I obtained artistic and got here up with a technique to give Avery’s rest room a very up to date look with out altering any of the most important parts. Let’s check out the design plan, after which I am going to clarify precisely what’s occurring in her rest room.

The Logistics
If you’re questioning how on the earth I will pull off a dramatic makeover with all that brown tile and outdated self-importance nonetheless in place, let me clarify.
I will be overlaying the ground tiles with these GORGEOUS tile stickers (chances are you’ll keep in mind that we used tile stickers in our laundry room a number of months again). Sadly, tile stickers cannot be utilized in a bathe, so we’re caught with the brown bathe tiles. I COULD paint them utilizing this technique, however I actually do not wish to as a result of it is time-consuming and I actually don’t need white tiles.
As an alternative, I will hold these 9-foot curtains on both sides of the bathe and this 9-foot bathe curtain (sure, you may get them that lengthy) within the center in order that we actually do not see the tile except we’re within the bathe. Let’s name it a intelligent disguise.
As for the self-importance, I will be portray the cupboard base utilizing this technique AND I will be portray the granite countertop utilizing this technique. I am going to even be changing the {hardware}. In spite of everything that’s achieved, you will not acknowledge it.
The opposite adjustments will probably be straightforward! I’m going to start out by portray the brown partitions white (that alone will probably be a welcome change). And I will be altering out the mirror, gentle fixture and sink faucet which is able to go a great distance in updating the house.
And I will be including paintings and equipment that mirror Avery’s love and obsession of turtles. Candy lady. Would I usually enhance with turtle objects? NOPE! However will I do it for my turtle-loving lady? Completely. It is her rest room and I would like her to like it. Talking of which, she was closely concerned within the design! She picked out the paint shade for the self-importance in addition to the towels. I stunned her with the paintings I picked out, however obtained her approval earlier than truly ordering it. She enthusiastically permitted of it, lol!
So that is the plan! I am hoping will probably be a fairly fast makeover, however you by no means know. Make sure to comply with alongside on Instagram since I will be sharing each step of the makeover in my tales!
