Guest Bath

I'm finally getting around to updating a few of the house projects. The guest bedroom and bathroom needed to get done pretty quickly because we wanted everyone to be able to come visit but the rooms needed serious updating first! The bedroom was easy - just painted the trim bright white, the walls are a pale green\blue - moved in the furniture, added a small television and it's complete.

The guest bath was started when we did the kitchen - we weren't living in the house yet so we decided to do the messiest projects before we arrived.

We started with this:

What a mess!

We took out the vanity and replaced it with a 35" tall one - no bending over the sink to brush! We also installed the comfort height, elongated bowl toilet. I really wanted wallpaper - but the one I loved was $200 a roll!! Yikes! I'm going to change my mind and want different in probably a year and then I'd have to tear it out - I couldn't bring myself to spend that much money. So I found a company online that sells large stencils - and like magic - I had made my own wallpaper!!

Really easy - took about 6 hours start to finish! 

The entire project cost about $40

Now, when I change my mind and want a different color - I'm not gonna feel guilty of the waste of money I would have spent on wallpaper!

We also replaced the old mirror with a framed one, added new lighting, a shelf for storing towels over the toilet and the cutest knobs! Bam! One weekend and we're ready for company!

I love the bright spots of coral in an otherwise calm blue room - it adds a little pizzazz! And the knobs are probably my favorite part!
