We have been in our house for nine months now! It's crazy to think that it has almost been a year since we started this journey of being homeowners. There have been ups & downs along the way (more on that another time) & we are still working away at making it the perfect home for us! One major thing to check off our list was the downstairs powder room. Eventually, I would like to change out the gold doorknobs on all of our doors & replace the window blinds to wooden or bamboo shades, but for now it's perfect! I'm really happy with how it turned out. Have a look! :)
The first room I painted in our house was this bathroom, I actually started painting the day after we got our keys! I used the color Polar Star by Valspar. Another thing I wanted to do from the start was get a new mirror. Turns out, the current mirror was glued to the wall & it wasn't coming down. It was crooked & driving me crazy! We decided to buy some wood & stain it, that way we could frame the mirror instead of buying a new one. I think it turned out great!
Something else that we did early on (before moving in) was add some tile backsplash behind the sink. This is one of my favorite things we did to this room! It really helped transform it & add a little something extra to a boring bathroom. We used this tile backsplash from Home Depot. I love the look of the mixed glass & stainless steel tiles...I think it matches our paint color perfectly.
When we moved in, this bathroom (& the whole house) had gold fixtures everywhere. The faucet, light & towel ring/toilet paper holder were all that brassy gold color. We quickly switched those out to brushed nickel & it looks so much better!
I'm excited to share the rest of our house with you soon! Thank you for reading about our little bathroom makeover! :) XOXO
