bathroom reno for $500

we started out with this idea of redoing the bathroom downstairs

kinda on a whim.

we always knew we wanted to overhaul it... but that wouldn't be for awhile.

BUT... bethany and stephen would be staying with us for a month,

and we thought, hey, what a perfect time to do this!

-

i had painted it this pretty blue color (plumage by martha) when we moved in.

but the countertop was pink, and the toilet was made for a midget little person.

 i was just gonna swap out the counter top (for $2 i found one at habitat restore, but it didn't fit)

(then i was gonna just get a new faucet and paint the top, too expensive)

 once I (yes all by myself for the reals) got the vanity out

there was an obvious lack of linoleum on the footprint.

i had always wanted to try my hand at painting linoleum.

so that's what i did.

 i also had to paint the walls 

 so i primed with no voc primer

 then i painted with floor and concrete paint

it was a really light grey color, but i held up swatches of all the colors

and honestly lighter was better

 new toilet!

from home depot, i think $125?

we have the same one upstairs and love it

it has an elongated bowl

and it taller

and is water saving with a dual flush.

cam did this part

 new vanity!

cam did this part too

and had to finagle sink parts

so it would all fit.

 the vanity was around $225

and the faucet $90

both from homedepot

 etsy find $25

 urban outfitters $14

overall i think it looks great!

so far the floor has held up great, minus where we scooted the vanity and a small piece of painted ripped off... but honestly it is doing awesome!
