Roomspiration-Bathrooms

Hi Y'all!

Are you ready for another party!? Today the party is moving over to Homemaker on a Dime.


This one is all about bathrooms, so head on over (after you read my post of course) and link up a new or old post about your bathroom.

You'll have to use your imagination a little when picturing the "before" of our bathroom, it was BB (before blogging) and I didn't take photos. We made over our bathroom in a weekend.

When we moved in it was a typical 1950's bathroom with what looked like maybe a small renovation in the 1980's...definitely not what I would call fabulous.

We stuck to the cosmetic changes, as we have with the majority of our home.

We're military so we don't plan on living here very long, actually it's been longer than expected ...but it's definitely not our forever home, so I try to improve without over improving for the area or the amount of time we will be here.

So back to our bathroom. My mom and grandmother were flying in for a visit and I decided that our bathroom had to be nice when they arrived...so my hubby and I busted it over the weekend to remodel the bathroom before they arrived on Tuesday.

This is where your imagination comes in....

The tile was mint green and pink (you can still see the floor, we didn't change it). The walls were white, typical 1950's medicine cabinet...you get the idea.

We started with the tile, painting it with Tub & Tile epoxy finish. It smells AWFUL, but it is an epoxy so it has a hard, gloss finish and looks like tile, not painted tile.

I can't remember if we brushed or rolled it on, but it worked great! There are a couple places that have chipped over the past couple years, but they sell a touch up.

After it is painted on, it has to "cure" for a couple of days.

After the curing process we changed the lighting, replaced the vanity, tore out the old medicine cabinet and shower door and framed in the mirror over the make-up counter...and

VOILA!

Originally we planned to re-tile the floors, but we have not yet...the original mosaics don't bother me now that the whole room isn't mint green and pink.

Now head on over to Homemaker on a Dime to show off your bathroom...see you over there!
