Low-budget Bathroom Makeover

[fjordtjie]

That is FANTASTIC news!  Congratulations!  You'll have to take before/after pics and post it.   I am so flattered that I was able to play a part in convincing your boyfriend to liven up the place.  What color(s) will you guys paint?

well, we're probably going to go with a color similar to yours...the boy is terrified of bright colors, so we'll definitely end up with some kind of neutral.  i think he can't visualize how colors will look on a wall--i picked out tons of samples when he bought it, but he just kind of recoiled with fear.  yours is an example of a color that works, so that's not scary!  i'll pm you if i end up posting pics, so you can see the room you inspired!

That looks fresh!  How about painting the cabinets a semi-gloss black?!!  And paint the medicine cabinet the same color as the walls.

Now you just need a concrete countertop

The little "seats" in your sinks kind of confuse me though.

They're for bars of soap. At least, in my bathroom they are.

I love your new bathroom. And I'm definitely voting for the dark brown cabinets.

I literally cringed when I saw the carpet. HAHA. But seriously though, what a GORGEOUS job you did. I showed my boyfriend (we're getting a house in August) and he approves as well. We both particularly love the Mississippi mud paint!

I love your floor!! So much better than carpet, who puts carpet in the bathroom anyway? I would not paint the cabinets white but that's just because I think white isn't a color its a base.
