One of our DIY goals this year is to work on some DIY bathroom updates:
- Main floor half bathroom is complete although I’d like to work on a few additional details such as a plantation shutter for the huge window and a little freshening up with some new decorative accents.
- We’ve shared a budget friendly main floor guest bathroom makeover in the past with details including painting the floor and walls, new light fixtures and spray painting the faucets but the shower needs an update as well.
This old farmhouse has 3 more bathrooms. All of our bathrooms are small in size. There’s a really creepy basement half bathroom which is rarely used, an upstairs main bathroom (we call it the “girl’s bathroom” – it’s the one filled with my things) and the teeniest tiniest master bathroom you’ve ever seen (old house = someone added on a master bathroom). Each one needs a LOT of work. And it’s our goal to complete at least ONE…preferably the girls’, i.e. “mine”. 😉
Update: Another bathroom checked off the DIY to-do list!
My first step when it comes to a room makeover is looking for inspiration to gather ideas of things that I like, things that I’d love to incorporate. There are so many sources to gather inspiration: magazines, blogs {via Google, Pinterest, Houzz}, past DIY Show Off bathroom features and home websites including HomeTalk, where I’ve started collecting small bathroom ideas {clips can be made from other HomeTalk users’ posts or from all around the www}. I can also ask questions and get help from professionals and homeowners. Take a look at my small bathroom inspiration clipboard…
Do you have a small bathroom begging some DIY attention? Any space saving or budget friendly makeover advice? Do you collect ideas to create your own design and plan?
