When we first bought this home, we knew that we had many renovations to do in order for this home to be updated to the 21st Century. Added to the top of all renovations was this guest bathroom.
Nothing spectacular at all.
Sorry I didn’t take many photos of the guest bathroom BEFORE the renovation. This bathroom home DIY project was actually done BEFORE the blogging idea came along, but because I have been so preoccupied the last few weeks, I am just now getting to this bathroom makeover project that my husband and I did.
I KNOW this before picture is NOT a great example at all, but I just want you to look at the vanity and the counter top! Ok I know it only shows the corner of the vanity and counter top, (I know, I know, I MUST get better, remember I am still a newbie!)
You should be able to tell how cheap and OUTDATED it is.
The counter top was laminate with a mauvy blueish finish, and the vanity was covered in laminate also.
In other words it was NOT even close to being in the 21st Century.
IT HAD TO GO, and it had to go FAST!
The only problem was this whole bathroom needed to be totally redone and I did not have the time and really did not want to put a lot of money in a guest bathroom that is hardly ever used.
Especially when I am planning renovations for the entire house.
WHAT was I to do?
So I thought about it a few days, figured why not just change the vanity out for now and wait until I can completely gut the bathroom and just do the whole thing over!
I already had this shower curtain. I bought it at Tuesday Morning. So I knew this shade of blue was what I was going with.
I went to Home Depot and found this bathroom (Glacier Bay) vanity.
Did you see that price?
$88.00 for the bathroom vanity AND cultured marble counter top!!!
What a steal!
it’s solid wood ya’ll.
AND it has a 4 star review!
It is actually much better quality than what we had. I bought that bad boy and home we went.
Because I wanted to dazzel this vanity and bathroom up, I chose to paint it. 
Steps we took to paint this vanity
- First, we sanded the entire vanity with 120 grit sand paper
- we then primed it with primer, using a small roller and applied one coat.
- After it had completely dried, I then I painted it, using a small roller and applied two coats of paint.
I used Sherwin Williams Moody Blue paint.
Oops! Yes I see the doors are not even.
That’s ok, I never claimed to be a perfectionist, in fact I embrace little imperfections like that because they keep me grounded. I’m sure my husband will fix it when he sees this though! 
Check out the white cultured marble countertop. It is a solid white countertop and I love it! It looks so current and in style.
We added a brushed nickel faucet, brushed nickel lighting, and an oval mirror, (all Glacier Bay brand) from Home Depot. Because this bathroom partial renovation was inexpensive, I don’t have to feel guilty when I want to change it!
We painted the walls Ashwood by Benjamin Moore, but was color matched using Sherwin Williams HGTV paint.
Anyway David did all of the renovations himself.
He even replaced the toilet with a brand new Glacier Bay toilet from Home Depot.
BONUS!!
I hope you are inspired from this home DIY budget friendly bathroom renovation.
If you already have a contractor grade vanity in your bathroom, then try to dazzel it with your favorite color of paint!
What do you think? Don’t you just love it!!
*update: Months later as I was looking through pinterest, I found this bath renovation that looks a lot like mine!
I guess Bower Power and I have the same taste! 
Of course her bath lighting is much better than mine, and her layout is better for taking pictures.
I will be the first to admit, lighting in this home is awful for pictures.
What renovations are you working on?

Is it weird that I see faces in damask? I can’t have it in my house. We have one lampshade that has a damask pattern and all I see is an eagle and a wolf LOOKING AT ME when I see it. Creeeepy.
Sharon, is it weird that you ask if it is weird for you to see faces in damask?!? LOL
You are weird! Miss you!
No I am just kidding! I have NEVER seen faces in Damask! now I am going to go see if I see an eagle or wolf looking at me!! Thanks for the laugh!
Hey Wanda! Ashley Marie here peeking in from SITS! Gorgeous blog & bathroom! Woo! Job well done! I wouldn’t fret over uneven cabinet doors either
who cares?! I LOVE your damask shower curtain! If you don’t mind me asking, where did you find it? My decor in my bathroom is a dark purple. If i could find a dark purple damask shower curtain I’d be one happy camper! Or commode user ;p
Thanks! The shower curtain came from Tuesday Morning.
Found you through the SITS girls. Love your decorating style! Your home is beautiful! I’m following you and looking orward to enjoying your blog.

I do love it! And I’ve been meaning to redo my bathroom. This may be just the kick in the pants I needed. Thanks for the inspiration.
Happy Sharefest. I hope you have a lovely weekend.
Thank you! hope you have a great weekend as well!
Great job, Wanda! I am loving that color blue these days. Blues and grays make me happy. Is that an oxymoron?
