Bathroom Reno Revealed

I know you're probably all wondering about the Downstairs Bathroom Reno Pics that I promised you. Well here they are; was waiting for the mirror glass to arrive.

The first two pics are how the bathroom looked before. As you can see it was only a half bath with with the washer & dryer sharing the space.



 And here are the after pics. 

Let me give you a rundown about all that happened here. First we removed old washer & dryer and sold them so we could purchase a stacking washer/dryer unit for our utility room. And then removed pretty much everything else.
To cut costs we kept the original cabinet & just painted it & purchased new hardware for it.


An old picture frame we had kicking around was turned into a mirror by just purchasing a piece of mirrored glass. A few Ikea finds such as the light fixture above the vanity, the sink & the faucet were relatively inexpensive purchases.





 Toilet & tub & new window were purchased on sale. The wood looking wall & ceiling were made of an inexpensive but high grade of plywood & then stained. Shelving was created by using leftover plywood & re-using some of the laminate that was above the old washer & dryer. We kind a splurged a bit on the counter top & on the flooring but hey sometimes you just gotta splurge on something. What I love about the new counter most is that hubby moved the vanity over & extended the counter to create more surface as well as an open shelf below. And another thing he did which you can't actually see, is create a fully functional top drawer instead of a fake one.
Lovin my new space already!
