    Bathroom Reveal!!!

    By Stacy 117 Comments

    This bathroom has had some water damage in the tub area and is halfway demolished at this point. We are hoping to have the final bathroom makeover done in the next couple of months!

    Here is what the bathroom has looked like from 2011 until now:

    I am so happy with how it turned out!

    This clock may look familliar. It usually hangs in my dining room. I just didn't have it in me to put the $5 plastic clock back up that was in here before. This one looks so much better. I guess I need to come up with something for the dining room wall!!!

    These door knobs are from this house. There were so many doors when we moved in! There was a door to the kitchen, a door to the stairs, a door to the hallway. Pretty much everything had a door! We took a lot of them down so the flow was easier and more open. That left me with extra doors AND extra knobs. Now they are hooks for towels!! Door knob how to's

    This medicine cabinet was my dad's.  It was already old when he got it. He used it out in our barn. It had all the horse medicine in it :) I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE using things that have deep personal meaning when I decorate. This would have been a cool find anyway but it is even more awesome because of the history.

    I didn't do anything to the vanity this time around. I fixed it up a couple of years ago and you can read about how I added molding and new hardware to the original 1938 vanity and how I cut a hole in the floor for a laundry shoot.

    The mirror!!! I am so in love with my mirror :) I had a plain Jane, builder's grade mirror. I did love that it had oodles of storage and that I could fold the side one a little and see the back of my head when curling my hair. So I didn't want to get rid of it.  I just wanted to dress it up! Check out the full tutorial.

    I love the rounded ceiling of the shower/bath tub! It is so fun and unique. But I didn't love the way my shower curtain was attached to the rod. So I cut off the grommits and sewed (yes, I SEWED) a pocket for the rod. It is basically like a regular window curtain. I just thought it made for a cleaner look. And it is less. . . industrial?

    The only thing I am not in live with are the glass shades on the light fixture above the mirror. They are yellowish and come off as dingy. I found some fabulous seeded glass shades online but that will have to wait until I have more money.

     

    And here is what it looked like before:

I think that milkglass shades (is that what you call beaded glass?0 on the lights will be a perfect complement and final touch to the room!!! I will be using some of these ideas when ready to remodel my small narrow bathroom!

      Making bathrroms pretty is one of the things I struggle with. I've put off redoing my bathroom because it is pretty bad. It has those horrible orange cabinets from the 90s, brass fixtures, and a very odd layout and some funky angles. Not a lot I will be able to tackle this time around except paint and accessories, so it will be interesting what I come up with.

      Loving what you did with the medicine cabinet and the door knobs. Makes me think of my 100+ year old childhood home because it had the crystal doorknobs like that in the older part of the house. Makes me wish my family had taken one of them when we moved, especially considering the last time we drove by "the house", we learned it had been torn down.

      Have a great weekend!

      just stumbled across your blog and saw that you have the same vanity mirror that we have. Mine was also just mounted on the wall, until I got crazy with the sledgehammer. Yep. The sledgehammer. Those vanities are designed to set flush with the drywall. Before removing the mirror, I traced the outline of the cabinet with a pencil. Then I removed the mirror. I used a sledgehammer to break the drywall (actually plaster, because it's an older house also). After I marked where the electrical line was at that ran to the light above the mirror, I cut out the penciled opening with my jigsaw. I had to use a handsaw to finish cutting through the studs since the jigsaw blade didn't go that deep. Just the way a window is framed out with studs, I cut 2" x 4"s to go in between the studs horizontally right below the cut out - like a ledge for the vanity to sit on. I inserted the vanity and anchored it with 2" wood screws to the studs on the top and the bottom. It made a HUGE difference not sticking out from the wall the way it did before - it really opened up the bathroom! Since you seem to be pretty fearless like I am with powertools - go for it!

I am doing a bar room with an english theme and have the exact wood for the lower half of my walls. The top is a Brittish Racing Green paint and will set the stain off perfectly.

      Hi again,

      I just posted something scheduled for Wednesday morning. I included a photo of your bathroom doorknob towel rack. I also just checked my gmail, and 75 people have already re-pinned it!

      Again, KUDOS!

      OK I love the shower curtain. I wish i would have thought of that for my last Bathroom remodel. Anywho I also love the creativity of using the door knobs for towel holders.

      Question on the wainscoting - Is that a stain for the color or paint? We are moving into an old farmhouse that has wainscoting (a salmon color), and I love the look of your bathroom (in particular the color of the wainscoting). Just curious what you used for the color.

      Thank you,
      JT

      I love your Dad's little cabinet it's so cute. I makes me wish I had taken my husbands cabinet that was in the milk house at our dairy. Too bad I didn't read this about 8 years ago when we retired and sold our dairy. I also wish I had taken the doornobs from the dairy they had pretty glass nobs.
      I think it would look really cute to have a small shelf under the beautiful clack with a trailing plant sitting on it and maybe a clear glass or two in interesting shapes to put q-tips in and cotton balls. Just a thought.
      I love what you did to your bathroom. I like what you did with the wood around your mirror very nice. I have and old medicine cabinet in my bathroom and it is ugly. I have thought of framing it somehow. Maybe with decorative molding. Then I would need to buy a miter box. Years ago I had a miter box and one of my sons wanted to use it. He thought there was something wrong with it and tried to fix what he thought was wrong. LOL It went in the trash and I never bought another one. Thank you for sharing your beautifuly decorated bathroom pictures : )

      I too would like to know more about your wainscoating as I have it in my bathroom in a lighter color. I redid our bath last year and one of the things we did was install an antique claw foot tub and the wainscoating has never looked right to me. I wanted to paint it but hubby nixed that idea; however I'm thinking he might go for the darker chocolate brown and I love yours! Is it stain or paint? I'm hoping paint since mine already has a stain on it and I don't really want to strip it.

      I love the door knobs as a towel rack. I am going to copy them to use as a place to hang my dogs' leashes inside the back door. I think the seeded glass shades will be perfect!

      hey, i don't know if you have splurged on new light shades yet; but another idea may be to simply color in the silver part with an antique gold color; or a dark brown. If you aren't sold on the idea, it could be an in-between idea till you save up for the new shades :)

      Stacy I'm interested in putting some door knobs such as yours in our guest bathroom. What holds the actual knob on the rod? And are the plates behind the knobs screwed on the wall?

      [...] Charming and functional, these vintage doorknobs are a lovely complementing piece to this dark wainscoted and scallop-mirrored bathroom. The vintage back plates (look at those keyholes! marvelous) paired with each knob add a huge stylistic factor, and they also serve functionally to keep the damp towel off the wall paint. I like how these knobs aren’t identical but are patterned in a way that works with the overall bathroom scheme.{found on notjustahousewife}. [...]

      […] Do you have spots in your house that just make you tired just looking at them? I do. Master bath is number one on that list. I did what I do when I am stuck. I went to Pinterest, and I went shopping. On my weekend adventure to Canton, we picked up a few things for my bathroom. They are probably not things you would think of as bathroom items, but they are to me. I recently discovered that we do not have a towel bar in our bathroom. How did I miss that? I mean how did I miss that for two months? I was constantly frustrated that towels wer on the floor, but it never hit me that Hubby did not have a place for his towel. I hang my towel across the edge of the tub to dry, but let’s just say not everyone who uses the master bath takes care of their wet towels. I found  two door knob assemblies for $10.00 each and knew immediately that they would become my towel knobs. No pictures yet because I couldn’t dig them out of the truck  They are buried under a headboard and four chairs.  My Pinnspiration  for this project comes from Not Just a Housewife […]
