Wow, Erin, your bathroom looks awesome!! I love the color you painted the vanity...and the curtains above your tub. Your bathroom looks bigger now!
ReplyDeleteIt looks great. I love the color of the vanity. I am going to paint my kids' bathroom soon and I was looking for a good gray.
ReplyDeleteOh dear, that candle chandelier is just lovely! Who knew bathrooms can be just as classy as that! :) Do you have radiators in there?
ReplyDeleteThis is a great budget makeover! I agree with your assessment with your old bathroom and I’m glad with how your new one turned out. Since taking down those tiles is expensive, it’s a good thing that your choice of color worked well with them. And in spite of your dollar shortage, I tip my hat to you by getting that metal chandelier. That’s money well spent!

The contrasting elegance of the candle chandelier and metallic accessories brought out a vintage feel to your bathroom. It looks so rustic and postmodern, that all I can say is, “I want something like that too!” That bathroom makeover doesn’t seem like a product of dollar shortage!
ReplyDeleteWow! What a wonderful transformation you had there in your bathroom. I like the bath tub area. Those white sheer curtains look nice too! It goes well with the wooden window and with the candleholder chandelier. Where did you get your inspiration? Did someone help you to come up with this beautiful makeover?
