I recently gave my bathroom a complete makeover. It was much

easier than I expected, and only took a few days to complete.

For less than $200 I gave my bathroom a completely new look that

I love.

The first thing I did was choose some paint. I started out with

bare white walls. I chose Kilz brand paint. The color is called

“Garden Glove” (a cheerful spring green), and a gallon cost about

$15 at Walmart. One gallon was plenty to paint the entire

bathroom. Just painting the bathroom gave it whole new look. I

also bought a small can of white paint to touch up the paint

around the doorways.

Because our master bathroom is not very well lit, we decided to

change the light fixture. For only $40 (including bulbs) at

Home Depot, we installed a vanity light fixture over the mirror

behind the sinks. It only took a few minutes to install, and it

looks great. The bathroom is much brighter now than it was

before.

To gain some extra storage space, we purchased a white cabinet

that stands over the toilet. It has four shelves and a cupboard

and cost about $100 at Home Depot. I recently saw that Walmart

had some similar cabinets for between $50 and $75.

We have two windows in our bathroom so I thought plants would

really brighten up the room. I bought some pretty solid color

flower pots from Walmart for a couple of dollars and some

matching spring primroses (less than $2 each). I set the pots on

top of the new cabinet. The finishing touch will be a couple of

ferns to hang above the garden bathtub, in front of the windows.

I love my new bathroom. It looks like a completely different

room. Just a few simple changes can update and rejuvenate your

bathroom too!
