Guest Bath Makeover

After making over my moms middle floor half bath, I decided to tackle another one of the bathrooms in her house. The walls and the ceiling were painted with a orange beige color which made the room look small and gave off a nasty yellow light.

I decided to paint the walls and the ceiling white to make the bathroom feel larger and to eliminate the awful yellow lighting. I also painted the baseboards and molding with a fresh coat of paint.

I painted the walls Behr Marquee Ultra Pure White. Literally I just picked a can of the Behr Marquee paint in a Satin finish up off the shelf, no color mixing necessary. I did the same thing with the Semi Gloss paint which I also got in Ultra Pure White.

For the cabinet I got Behr Celtic Gray. I only needed a tester size to fully paint the cabinets which was awesome and saved me a lot of money.

It’s amazing what a little paint can do.

Here is the before picture of the cabinet

And here is the after

Painting the walls and the ceiling a bright white really had a huge impact on the feel of the room. It looks much cleaner and larger than before and I couldn’t be more pleased with out it turned out!

The shower curtain is Cynthia Rowley and was purchased from Home Goods for only $16.99!

The next step to finish up this bathroom makeover will be to add a little color to the bathroom with some coral towels.

My Bedroom Updates

So, recently I have been doing some shopping and have come across some much needed things for my room, and for a pretty great price!! Marshalls, Home Goods, and Walmart are some of my favorite places to get things for my room and at a great price!

Lamp Shade —-> $12.95 Walmart

I had the lamp base from a bedroom when I was a kid, but it was some awful pink color. A while back I had spray painted it white and since the old lampshade had some weird embellishment on it {and I had lost it so I wasn’t even able to fix it up with a little DIY} I was using the lamp in my room without a lamp shade and it was AWFUL! Lamp shades can be expensive, so I had been putting off buying one but I decided to finally bite the bullet and when I found one for only $13 I had to get it!

Isaac Mizrahi Comforter —> $59.99 Marshalls

The comforter set was something I had been looking at buying for a while {not this one specifically} but a comforter in general.

Rug —> $200.00 at HomeGoods

I also recently purchased this awesome rug from Home Goods for only $200!! Finding a rug large enough to fit nicely in my large room at a decent price  is a challenge so I was lucky to have found this gem at such a great price!

Some of the other awesome pieces I have in my room {but I have had for a while} include this beautiful side table that I got for FREE from Jake. I simply repainted the side table with a little leftover paint and it looks amazing now!

Since I currently live with two other people, there isn’t exactly enough room for me to have my own office space. Luckily, my room is large enough for me to incorporate my office space into my room. I have a deal that used to be in my little brothers room that I repainted to give it a fresh clean look and a file cabinet that I purchased to keep all of my misc paperwork in.

Desk—>FREE!!

See Jane Work File Cabinet —>$79.99 at Office Depot

Now, I know that $79.99 seems like a lot for a file cabinet, but I cannot tell you how worth it purchasing this file cabinet was!

There is also this lamp that I spray painted Krylon Brushed Nickel and use as a desk lamp. It used to be this awful redish orange color that didn’t go with any decor. Now it matches the decor of my room perfectly!

Table Lamp —>FREE!!

And then there is my dresser, which my aunt wasn’t using at her house anymore, so she offered to give it to me which I gladly accepted!! It was originally cherry wood, but it was beat up and needed some TLC. I repainted it and spray painted the original hardware to give it the upgrade it needed to match the decor of my room. It wasn’t easy deciding what the upgraded it needed was, and I tried a lot of different combinations before finally settling on this…

 I will make sure to post I continue to update my bedroom. I am hoping to have my dream bedroom soon. There is still a lot of work that needs to be done, but it is coming along!
