As I said in my last post, I am so pleased with how the bathroom turned out. Huge transformation. It makes me wish we hadn't waited so long to start work on it!
Before
After
The vessel sink, faucet and tiles all came from Home Depot. The total cost ended up being more than I anticipated, with a majority of it being the sink and faucet. I've been wanting a sink like this for ages, so I'm not complaining!
My inspiration for the black vanity came from Layla at The Lettered Cottage. LOVE her. We primed the vanity with Kilz before putting on two coats of black paint. Once it was dry, I took my handsander to the edges. Just a bit of white paint and the original wood now show through.
While we splurged on the vanity, we saved on the decor. This frame is from the Goodwill. I got it for $1 and spray painted it black.
The starfish is from Hawaii, where Jeff and I got married. Look familiar? We used it for this photo of our wedding rings.
The framed photos are from a trip we took to Destin.
My shabby oar finally found the perfect home! I picked it up from The White Rabbit a couple of years ago for $35. The vase was previously in the kitchen, but fits perfectly here now!
I think my favorite part is the color. It is Tropical Lagoon from Glidden. It is like a Tiffany/Robin's Egg blue. Simply perfect!
All the details in your bath are stunning. The vanity, sink, faucet look like a million bucks, but my favorite is the oar, so unexpected.
ReplyDeleteoh i love it! u did a great job! similar to my bathroom colours and tiles i might add :)
ReplyDeleteI love it! We're looking to do an inexpensive makeover for our dated bathroom and I love the mosaic tile top vanity. If it's not too much trouble, could you pls email me or post on your excellent blog your technique and cost for doing the vanity top? Was buying the sink mount separately a real hassle and expensive? Thanks! newbiedoob.doo@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteOh yes, could you please blog about the counter top? I would love to try that. The whole room looks amazing...you did a great job!
ReplyDeleteDitto on the countertop! I love it!! I would love to know how you did it :)
ReplyDeleteYour bathroom is lovely! I love your sink. I chose a similar color for our half bath and an almost matching faucet! You can check it out at: http://robertapm28.blogspot.com/2008/10/housekeeping-half-bath-remodel.html
ReplyDeleteI have become a follower and invite you to do the same!
Thanks everyone! I am working on a post now that will detail the countertop and will get it up soon.
ReplyDeleteJust saw your bathroom over at the DIY Show off. Love the color! And the rustic oar (I'm a huge fan of them) is just perfect.
ReplyDeleteBEAUTIMOUS!!!!
ReplyDeleteI love everything you have done!

Hey it's Lindsay from The White Rabbit. So fun to see our oar in your bathroom! I love it. Thanks for sharing. The whole room is great and the color is great. I love when people mix a modern feel with shabby pieces like the oar. Two thumbs up!

Looks terrific! Love the vanity. Great job!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful transformation! I love the colors and the mosaic tile, the vessel sink, oh heck, all of it! Simply lovely! (visiting from Kate's linky party). Happy New Year! - Kim
ReplyDeleteInteresting choice for a vanity top. How did you seal the mosaic tile so it does not leak?
