We've been wanting to redo our main floor powder room since the day we bought this house - 3 years ago - and finally got around to it this fall. We had a great guy come in and do all the work for us - I'd be happy to give out his name & number - and I just got the painting finished over the weekend.
BEFORE:
The main problems were - well, basically everything - but specifically:
The main problems were - well, basically everything - but specifically:
- the lid on the toilet tank wasn't the same shape as the tank
- the sink would fall off the wall if any pressure was put on it
- the tiles were spider-web cracked all over
- no storage
- horrible placement of the light fixtures (i didn't get a picture of this, but it was dumb)
- the toilet and sink were 'bisque' colored, which didn't go well with the white trim
- all the hardware/fixtures were ugly
AFTER:
Now we have an awesome sink cabinet with drawers and a shelf for storage, beautiful travertine tile that makes the room look a lot bigger (essential for a room that's only 5x6 to start with!), a light fixture that's centered above the mirror, a (white) toilet with a lid that actually fits, and all new hardware. And the new cheery yellow makes it look 10 times bigger, too! It's a little brighter than we pictured, but it's growing on us. Eric and I have both mistakenly thought the lights were on in there, went in to turn them off, only to find that it was just the walls glowing!
It's obviously still lacking in the accessories department, but I'll get to that... someday!
