Meet: Gemma from
She shares our love of thrift shop hunting, interior design and DIY. The Sweetest Digs is a blog about Gemma’s adventures in transforming her first house from boring to beautiful on a shoestring budget.
Gemma’s bathroom before was pretty non-descript, totally storage-deprived with a danky old tub.
Goodbye boring beige bathroom. Hello classic, bright, and fresh. She’s a whole new woman.
Love the white with beautiful shower curtain and spa blue glass tile accent.
Gorgeous floating vanity/sink…
Let’s throw in a little side-by-side comparison for good measure. She’s come a long way!
Budget breakdown {goal was under $5k}…
- tile (marble, subway tile, accent glass tile): $601.23 (originally $900, but we returned some unused tile)
- bathtub and fan: $364.45
- accessories (shower rod, towel bar, shower curtain, toilet paper holder, etc): $155.46
- drywall: $115.98
- mirror: $30
- vanity (wood, track system, legs, handles): $176.50
- vanity sink: $100
- paint: $64.85
- supplies (tiling supplies, plumbing, trim, tools, etc): $900.26
- gift card purchased for friend who helped out with plumbing: $100
Grand total: $2608.73!!!
And after using some wedding gift cards, actual out of our pocket expense was only $1527.67. Not bad for a complete bathroom renovation!

This is a very pretty bathroom. We are in the midst of a bathroom remodel and I’m just envious of a working toilet but this is extra nice.
What a grand feel for such a small space. I have a small bathroom and they often times are harder to redo than a large space. Well done. I’m off to visit Gemma now.
What a wonderful redo. I love how the narrow sink adds extra space to the room…and the tiling is wonderful. GREAT job- xo Diana
It looks very sleek and chic now! So pretty and fresh =) Love the glass tile, the flooring… and that SINK. Divine!!
Thank you so much for the feature!! I’m totally giddy 🙂
Glad you guys like the space. It’s SUCH an improvement from what it was. I still can’t really believe it’s ours to keep!
xo,
gemma
I love the sink! Where did you find it?!
Hi Jenny! I’m not sure where Gemma purchased the bathroom sink, but here’s a link that might have more information from her blog where you can ask her specifically for more details! Good luck!

Great for a small space. Where’d you get the narrow trough sink & vanity? Ikea? For $100+ $176.50? Oh and model numbers, please. Thanks! 🙂

I absolutely loved the makeover. You did a great job, very tastefully and unique!!!
I have a small space at home and searching for a good vanity on the budget. Can I ask if you built it from scrach or got parts together and where?

I realize this post is old, but I just cam across it. I am having the toughest time finding my daughter a narrow vanity for her bathroom. Would you mind sharing more specifics about the materials used? And where purchased?
