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.
Click HERE to see a tips on how I painted these stripes on these heavily textured walls. That’s what made this makeover easy(ish) instead of just easy. But it is possible.
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.

I too love to hang plates on the wall. I especially love your black and white!
It turned out beautiful. I love those plates on the wall.
Luxurious indeed :) Really pretty, you've done a great job. Hugs, Erika
Jaw-dropping awesomeness! What a beautiful bathroom. The counters blend in nicely to me. I know the itch to change stuff though :)

Very Elegant!
There are SO many things I love about this bathroom! It's fantastic! The mirror turned out amazing! I actually don't mind the counter...it's not too bad. But, I know you can paint countertops...
Great job. It's just stunning.
Looks great. Very French romantic..
This is such a unique and classy re-do!
Love it!
Can't wait for the tutorial..all of our bathroom walls are textured. = /
Looking good...luv that awesome chandelier and the stripes! You have a great blog and a new friend...me:)
Blessings,

Wow! Thank you friend for sharing the light fixture huh? Your bathroom makeover looks nice and I have considered painting tile myself. Would love to her your thoughts.
Painting Tile-
Yeah, well we did it twice. The first time I think we used the wrong primer and it was peeling. So, we peeled the whole floor up (luckily it's not that big) and re-painted it with a different primer. It will scratch if we are too rough on it but for the most part- it's good. I wish we had tried to sand the tile a little bit before we painted. The tile wasn't super smooth so I didn't think we needed to but I'm wondering now if it would have helped.
Great redo. But leave your vanity cabinet. I think it would be too dark if you paint it black. Love the stripes. I have tried it myself and I have the same texture type walls. It is, as you say, easy(ish).
Good job.
Looks Great. I became a follower to see what else you do! Keep it up!
Very fun makeover - the stripes are a great addition.
