A Budget Bath Makeover-before and After

By Kerrysteele @kerrysteeleart
Between the multiple visitors coming this Fall and selling our house, we decided it was time to give the ugly second bath a facelift. You will see no marble or high-end finishes here this is a budget makeover. I'll let you in on the jaw dropping cost at the end. First some before shots that were taken before we moved in.

 This small bath is separated into two rooms and is accessed from both the hall and my daughter's room. I would have liked  to change that but the time involved is just not worth it unless we stay here.

The view from what is now my daughter's room. Check out that awful floor.


The junky medicine cabinet was replaced with a towel ring and new towel bars were added.

All of the doors in our house have been painted black. The walls are SW Repose gray at 75%.
A new shower curtain  and curved rod helped freshen the look too.

We re-grouted and caulked the tub and replaced the hideous vinyl floor with a wood look vinyl. A light fixture next to the shower was also changed because the old one had corroded as did the previous shower curtain rod.
We did not replace the vanity, faucets or light above the vanity. I think the faucets might be switched out in the future but this was enough of an upgrade for the moment.
The cost was $350 for the new hardware, flooring, paint and shower curtain!
