My new bathroom is finished!
It is so nice to have a “non-creepy” bathroom that constantly gets used now!
This basement bathroom is bright, crisp, clean, and we absolutely love how it turned out.
Let’s get started with the before and after pictures…
…the old medicine cabinet? Gone. I used some pallet wood to frame a plain mirror, and it looks so much better!
I made a DIY Pallet shelf and put it on the blank wall above the toilet…
…more storage and the pallet wood matches the mirror pallet border! So I’m still not 100% happy with the old shower but it looks way better with the lighter walls.
I can’t believe how paint can make such a difference!
The cabinets! We painted them white with Sherwin-Williams SW 7005 Pure White, added new hardware and they are as good as new!
The paint for the wall is SW 6211 Rainwashed from Sherwin-Williams. I don’t think we could have picked a better paint color for this bathroom. It’s peaceful, calm, and we are crazy about the light blue-ish, green color.
Do you have a home improvement project that needs some paint?!

I actually like the shower! I love the whole redo! We are moving and I know there will be plenty of painting to do!
Mary Beth says
I would like to makeover the bedroom of my two youngest son’s ~ it has 1970’s paneling and needs to be updated.
I love ‘your creepy bathroom remodel’ ~ the title made me laugh and the after is lovely!
Jennie Larsen says
WOW- much better. Love the colors and the cute pallet shelf. Great job. Hugs, jen
Pam says
Love that color. Very peaceful. I would paint my living room/dining room! Nothing better than a fresh coat of paint to lift your spirits. :)Pam

My bedroom!
Catherine says
Our bathroom in the lower level needs some love. It’s “beachy”, but in a 1990s dolphin wallpaper sort of way. Yuck.
Serena says
What a pretty color! I’d like to re-do the kids’ bedroom.
NaDell Ransom says
My bedroom needs a makeover. But then again one of these days I need to paint over the marker on my son’s walls and the bathroom and just about every other room in the house…
Marilyn Snow says
I love how you changed to look of your bathroom remodel. It really is amazing what a new color of paint can do to a room.
I want to do something in the master bedroom for starters.
Unknown says
I would love to redo the basement …it is so dark and gloomy …would like to move the kids and their toys down there so the playroom can become my library…hehe
Cyndi says

Anna says
I’m working on so many rooms in my house right now! I’ll be needing more paint for our living room, and even more for the window bench and built-ins that I’m going to make for our “formal” room. It’s needin’ some love.
Sharleen says
I would love to redo the kitchen, I love my cabinets but the counter top and walls need to go!
CarrieM says
I wondered how a bathroom could be creepy, now I know! I’d like to redo my room!
Susan says
It’s time to paint the kitchen. After 12 years in this house, I’m ready for an update!!

Meliss says
I would LOVE to paint my living room. It is this awful peachy color. I would love a nice gray or greige color.
Lara Trottier says
My 7 yr old daughter’s room desperately needs a makeover. I moved in 14 years ago and it was raspberry from floor to ceiling. I painted the ceiling white, then sponged the walls the same color to tone it down. It looks better but it needs more of a solid color and one that she picks.
Debbie says
Love that color-so beachy!! I need to make over my kitchen! Still saving up for it, so this gift card would come in handy!
roxanne says
I would love to paint my whole house! Ha. I guess I would start with the living room.
Wendy says
I’m in the process of doing our bathroom right now! I used Sherwin Williams “Mariner” and we love it. Now I need to redo the vanity and I’m loving yours. Can you tell me how many coats of the pure white you used on your vanity? Thanks.

I really (really!) need to paint our play room. It’s lovely flat white paint, and though we’ve only lived here six months, my kids have thrashed it! (and since it’s flat, I can’t clean it!)
Candee Jenkins says
We close on our house in 3 weeks and every room needs love. Still trying to find that perfect look for the living room though.
ER says
Beautiful color!! I’d love to redo my kitchen, I’ve done every room in the house except for that, it keeps getting pushed off because I’m not sure what to do with my olive green counter tops!! Maybe that app will help me with my color matching!
Kathy@DandelionsandDustBunnies says
The bathroom does look like a much happier place. Great job. I am hoping to get my bathroom done too. I love the wall color.
Tricia says
I would love to repaint our bathroom as well. It needs a whole lot of love, from the walls to the cabinet and trim.

We’re getting ready to move into a home where the master bedroom has been used as a kids’ room, and the wall color screams “baby boy!” We need some more mature-looking paint colors on those walls!

Gottabead2002 says
I’d love to redo my whole house, but I think I would start with my Kitchen/Dining Room. I want to make it one big room by knocking out the wall between. So there would be plenty to repaint when I get that done and remove the 1980’s wallpaper.
Tina says

Well, I think the master bedroom is important. The King and Queen have to be happy. But realistically, I think it will b e the front entryway that gets a makeover first.
