When we first looked at this house, the downstairs powder room was... well... hideous! They sponge painted the walls red, green, and gold and hung golf themed wall paper boarder. They used a golf club as a towel rack and had golf trophies and pictures on the wall, but that wasn't the worst part. They had green CARPET on the floor *gasp*! Who puts carpet in a bathroom? How unsanitary!!! What if someone has bad aim (and I know it's bound to happen)? There were other ugly features, the vanity, lights, mirror, wooden toilet seat... it was all ugly. We knew that if we bought this house, a bathroom reno was in store.
So first things first! Dave and I ripped out that carpet and replaced it with tile. After we decided on the tile it was time to pick out paint.
Next we were off to Home Depot to pick out a new toilet, light fixture, towel rack, and toilet paper holder.
Later, we went to Ikea to choose the sink, vanity, and mirror.
With the help of my father-in-law, and Dave's painter friend Jason, we were able to turn this bathroom into something great. For the final touches, I bought some accessories, towels, soap, pictures, and really brought some personality into the space. Finally the bathroom went from "ugly golf" to "clean and inviting".
