We finally fixed up our bathroom!

 Image and video hosting by TinyPic

I have to brag! The before pic is when we moved in 2 years ago bathroom was full of black mold and just disgusting. We had the current bath mats and the shower curtain before but decided to splurge and paint, tile, and make things look nicer! We set $125 for the whole thing. The tile was at the Dollar Tree and ran us $22, the paint wasn't the grey we had wanted but it was available at home depot premixed for $6. Must have been a screw up! The shelf was from kohls originally $70 but with Kohl's cash and coupons it was $18. The glass display jars were a splurge for $22. The picture came out of storage and the mirror was left behind in one of the girls dorm rooms(we originally had a rusty metal framed mirror with a medicine cabinet). The towel rack was a Christmas tree shop find at $12 and the towel hook by the sink was $2

We did it all our selves with the generous help from my family for a grand total of $82! It was so cheap we splurged and re-tiled the kitchen floor for $35 and we still came under budget. I love being MM!

    Love it!  It looks so much more inviting!

    I'm a huge fan of that shower curtain, btw.  Yellow/grey were major colors in our wedding... and now I'm decorating with leftover wedding material because I love that color combo so much :)

    Grey and yellow is incredible! Obviously I used it on the bathroom but if we didn't have gorgeous brown hand me down bedroom furniture I would use it in the bedroom as well!

  • I am impressed at your MM makeover!  Great job!

  • So pretty! I love how a few little changes can give a space a whole new feel 

     I'm thinking about a grey and yellow theme for the entertainment room in the basement...if this project ever gets moving!

    yes! We have always gotten it there for my moms house so we figured it was worth a shot. it isnt the best quality. My mom re does hers every two to three years. For twenty bucks we are comfortable doing that honestly.

    I go to dollar tree so many times and never have seen it there.  I need to check it out next time.

    The ones here are all set up the same but I am not sure if it applies to you. The central aisle has tile on the shelves with red tags informing you to find a store clerk first. It was near some smaller area rugs which stood out to me right away when I got the instructions to go to one from my mom.
