Kid's Bath:

Here are a couple of pics of the kid's bath before. The top one shows that the cabinetry originally was dark wood and the bottom photo lets you see up close, the very old linoleum!

My Husband was quick to change out the floor and installed new ceramic tile and replaced the ceiling fan/ light unit with help from his Dad. The walls are now beige and the cabinetry has been refinished with a bright white. We added pipe style towel hangers (Husband is a pipefitter 😎) and I picked up the shelving at a yard sale. A few accessories later and this room had been restyled!

Master Bath:

At the time of purchase the master bath had the same yucky flooring and needed new paint.

Similar to the kid's bath, the master received the same flooring and wall color update.

The shelf is a yard sale find that I picked up for $5 and repainted, then filled with baskets for storage and shells/ photos from vacations.

Here you can see the cabinetry, I painted it out white of course!

More shells are on the counter. I love lidded jars because it eliminates dusting!

I covered the window with privacy cling (tutorial here) and hanging from the frame is a stained glass piece that my father in law made himself.

Half Bath:

Though in a different style, the half bath also featured old linoleum and dark cabinetry.

I refinished the cabinets in white, painted the walls beige and painted the floor using Kilz Garage Floor Paint. I love that stuff! We purchased it so that my Husband could refinish the concrete floors in both the garage and back porch. Since we had some left over -and it was going to be awhile before my Husband could resume with the tile- I decided to experiment using the Kilz. It went on easily and I love how the texture of the linoleum still shows through. It has held up so well that I went ahead and used it in the breakfast room too (post coming soon)!
