We completely remodeled this very beige and boring toilet into a colourful and delightful area. We used some artistic options to keep away from spending a fortune ($8,100 is the pure common for a loo renovation) and demo!
Y’all, we survived but ANOTHER toilet makeover/renovation! That is removed from the primary toilet makeover/renovation we have carried out. We utterly gutted and reworked our ladies’ toilet and the powder room in our final home ourselves. After which we gave our major toilet a brilliant inexpensive makeover shortly earlier than shifting out a 12 months in the past. Then a few months in the past, we completely up to date Avery’s toilet in our present home.
In the event you learn the publish the place I laid out the plans for Attley’s budget-friendly toilet makeover, you realize that I had loads of work to do in right here and that was BEFORE we determined to re-tile her bathe. THANK YOU to everybody who adopted alongside on my Instagram tales and cheered me on the entire time–that made it tremendous enjoyable!
Initially, we had deliberate to work with all the prevailing supplies in Attley’s toilet as a result of although it was outdated, there was completely nothing “mistaken” together with her toilet. As with Avery’s toilet, the format was nice and there have been no leaks, cracks or some other issues. The tub, sink and self-importance have been all in nice form. So once more, I simply could not wrap my head round ripping all the pieces out and ranging from scratch. It felt wasteful from a cloth standpoint AND from a funds standpoint. And we managed to provide Avery’s toilet a completely new look with out altering any of the tile, so I used to be prepared to only go for it once more.
This was the unique plan for Attley’s toilet. We have been primarily going to “disguise” her ugly bathe tile behind curtains like we did in Avery’s toilet.
However then I remembered that my pal Bre from Brepurposed tiled over present tile in one in all her loos (and her father-in-law is a tile professional, so I used to be satisfied it may very well be carried out effectively). She did not do it in a bathe, but it surely made me surprise if I might. So I began googling. And that is what I discovered! An in depth tutorial video from a extremely respected contractor.

Attley’s Finances-Pleasant Toilet Makeover Reveal

A Recap of the Work
I painted the brown partitions white (Pure White by Sherwin-Williams). And I swapped out the outdated mirror for this one. I additionally up to date the sunshine fixture with this lovely and trendy gentle fixture and swapped out the tap for this extra trendy possibility.

We need not disguise Attley’s attractive new bathe tile, BUT I at all times desire curtains hung as excessive as potential no matter how fairly the tile could also be.
To replace the self-importance, I painted the cupboard base utilizing this technique AND I painted the granite countertop utilizing this technique. I additionally changed the {hardware}. I discovered these cheap drawer pulls that look nice and these lovely ceramic knobs for the doorways that Attley completely loves.

There are additionally a couple of different enjoyable touches in her toilet, together with this cute ceramic hook for hanging her tub towel.
Final however not least, I hung the felt ball A that I made for her a number of years in the past above some cheap boho cabinets that I discovered for $5 every a few 12 months in the past. Attley loves little touches like this essentially the most 🙂
What do you suppose?! Attley actually bounced up and down after I revealed the completed area to her. That made each bit of labor completely value it.
Although we spent a bit extra on this toilet due to the bathe tile, I hope this exhibits you that you may dramatically remodel a rest room in a budget-friendly means by working with the weather you have already got.
