Easy(ish) Bathroom Makeover

I HAD to get something done… Something… anything!  So, I picked the smallest room in the house and worked until it was finished.  Is anything ever finished?

We have no money for new countertops- so those stay and my friend gave me that amazing light fixture so that was my inspiration for the makeover (not the one over the mirror- the cool one over the toilet.  oh yeah, it's flocked!).  We started by painting the tile floor black.  Use porch and floor paint and a good primer… one that will stick to anything. 
 
Then I painted the black stripes.  Now it’s really coming together.  A coat of black paint on the mirror frame- it started out gold- NOT going to work. 
There was carpet in the front part of the bathroom.  I would probably prefer tile but sometimes you have to take what you can get.  I replaced the carpet with a commercial carpet tile.  I’ll tell you more about carpet tile later but it’s great.  I think it really makes the room.


I got the plates from Target and the candle holders I used scrapbook rub-ons to add some flair.

So I’m done!
Not quite- I still would love to paint the cabinets black, change the hardware, and replace the countertop.  But those things will have to wait.
