We had an issue with mold on one of the walls so since it had to be replaced, we decided it was time to give this room a facelift. We took the doors off and Mike used them as templates to cut and router some new doors. We painted everything and got some new hardware. We also replaced the fan/vent that didn't work very well and the ugly light fixture.
Before: the new wall is supposed to be mold inhibitive
After: painting the ceiling actually made it look worse because every knothole and crack became visible. I am in the process of filling all those spaces with joint compound and will repaint it later.
Before: I love the amount of storage and display area on this cabinet
After: It's hard to tell in these photos, but the walls are sage green and the cabinets and ceiling are cream.
New light fixture-much prettier than the exposed-bulb one we had before.
A view of the behind the door, the only place we have to hang towels in this room besides the one over the toilet.
There's still some work to do in here. I really don't like the color of the counter top, but unfortunately, it is actually built into the side cabinet (it makes one of the shelves inside it). So replacing it would be difficult. We might try some special paint they have for counters later. We want to replace the faucet, frame out the mirror and make some art work for the space. But, these things will have to wait till time and money allow.
What do you think? Looking at these pictures, I like the contrast of the wood against my shells in the before pictures, but in real life, the bathroom is so much brighter and clean looking now.
Well, tomorrow is our anniversary and I don't want to think about having to clean house, so Michelle and I are going to spend this afternoon cleaning things up and putting things away.
Till next time...
God's love and blessings!
