$65 Bathroom Facelift

 

I'm trying to look around the house

and find little jobs that I can do 

that won't break the bank, but will update

and keep our home in good repair.

This little bathroom sign is hanging

on the door to the bathroom

it was a gift many years ago from 

Carol of "Art & Sand"

Carol's blog was one of the first 

blogs that I ever starting following.

She doesn't blog anymore, but you can

visit this link to her blog and

right under her profile there is a 

button to find her on Instagram. 

 

 

Today I'm going to share how I spent

$65 and gave my bathroom a facelift :) 

 

This was our bathroom when we 

bought the house.

Pretty Ugly right . . .

 

 

Then Steve did his magic and paneled,

put up a shower wall, new toilet, 

and new sink top and faucet and I painted.

That would have been 8 years ago this April.

 

 

 

 I liked it as it was . . .

but after eight years it needed 

refreshing. 

The gray paint was $37 and that was 

only because they didn't have 

the right base paint in a quart,

so I had to buy a gallon.

 

 

That little ring towel holder

was the whole reason for this 

facelift.

We had never put a hand-towel holder 

in this room, so I always just had

one laying on the sink.

It's was $15 at Lowes.

 

The picture with the farm animals 

was a frame that I had boxed up ready

for a yard sale.  It had rose prints

that I covered over with these farm prints.

 I printed them on my computer, $0.

 

 

The little wire basket was also headed for 

a yard sale, I rescued it from a box in the shop.

The little duck container is one I

purchased years ago from Goodwill . . .

I keep my ponytail bands in it :) $0.

 

 

 

That little piece of 2X4 

(I use it to prop the window open)

did have a red & white  check fabric

on it . . . so with a little fabric, 

buttons and hot glue, it is refreshed, too.  

$0.

 

I keep bottles and boxes on

the bottom shelves so I purchased a 

$3 curtain rod and had this gray fabic

in my stash.  

It looks so much better under cover :)

 

This is a sign that I painted years ago

on an old scrap of plywood. $0.

 

 

Last but not least . . .

I found this rug for $10

at Ross For Less. 

 

It's nice to have a change.

 

 

Now if only the snow would

melt away . . .

 

 

That would be a welcoming change.

I have to admit that it is pretty. 

Well that's my post . . .

 

I hope that I can inspire you

by showing you it doesn't have 

to break the back to make a change.

We will all be so busy outside 

after Spring comes . . .

so this is the perfect time of the year 

for inside jobs :)

 

I'm looking forward to reading 

your comments.

 

Have a lovely day . . .

and God bless you all.

 

Your blogging sister,
