When we first bought our home in 2007 the very first thing I did was to paint the master bath. I remember that day vividly. I was the only one in the house and I was so eager to add a personal touch to our new home. I had never painted walls in my life so this was a first for me. Seeing it now I think I did a pretty good job painting that bathroom. It took me all day and all night. I remember it was so tedious and time consuming to paint such a small space. I had to squeeze my brush into every little nook and cranny while making sure I wouldn't get paint where there shouldn't be any. We went bold and chose a beautiful turquoise color that at that time complimented the color scheme in our master bedroom. Since that day, the master bathroom hasn't changed.
I kept putting off making any changes to our master bath because 1, bathroom remodels are expensive and 2, I didn't want to invest any time or money into that bathroom if it wasn't going to end up looking like my "dream bathroom".
Now, 13 years later we finally got sick of that turquoise paint and builder grade fixtures that we decided to not wait any longer and thought that even making only cosmetic changes to our bathroom -even if we just painted the damn walls a different color; that that alone would be a huge upgrade!
I think that we really got motivated to change the bathroom after completing our master bedroom refresh. A few months ago I made some small but VERY impactful changes to our master bedroom that really pumped up the style in there. Now when I step in to our refreshed bedroom, that fugly bathroom sticks out like a sore thumb. Even MORE than before!

We are taking the same principle we used to update our bedroom to give our master bath a mini makeover. Changing only cosmetic things without having to knock anything down or tearing anything out will keep costs low while still managing to meet our goal of having a decent-looking master bathroom that also speaks to my style.
My goals for this bathroom are to:
Paint walls
Replace flooring
Replace or frame mirror
Replace light fixtures
Replace faucets
Add wallpaper or tile backsplash
Add new bathroom hardware
Replace shower & tub fixtures
Haven't you heard paint is the easiest change you can make??Lol!! Can't wait to see it. I'm sure it's going to be beautiful!
ReplyDeleteLol right!? And I know this too! I think part of it is that I hate painting bathrooms. So many little details
DeleteStarting on updating my master bath with a similar scope...no walls or fixtures moving. Waiting on bids and hoping this "small" update will fit into my budget.
ReplyDeleteCool! I'm hoping for the same thing. I might have to DIY a couple things which I'm a bit nervous about because I'm not that handy 😅
DeleteCan’t wait to see how it turns out!
ReplyDeleteMe too Brian! It's about time I did something about that bathroom 😅
