Budget Bathroom Makeover Design Board

Here it is, another round of the One Room Challenge! Although this was not something I planned for in advance, I took the last minute to leap to join in this round! Basically, I grew tired of staring at our awkward, outdated downstairs bathroom and decided to tackle it. Initially, I dreamed of a full remodel but alas, this was not in the cards. Instead, I’m hoping to pretty up this space with a very budget bathroom makeover!

This bathroom is so bad, I’m almost too embarrassed to share it! 🙂

In case it’s not familiar, the One Room Challenge is a biannual event featuring designers (and regular folks, like me!) documenting their design of a single space over the course of 6 weeks.

It’s all shared online via blogs, social media and the ORC website and is so fun to follow along! You might recall I worked on our living room during the Spring ORC.

  2. ORO Art Print from Juniper Print Shop
  3. Bath Towel Bundle
  4. Wood Shelves (Read the full post on my bathroom shelves for this simple project)
  5. Black Bathroom Faucet
  6. Framed Mirror
  7. Black Towel Hooks (these are from my brother’s business where I work and the same ones I use in my office!)

If you’re thinking this is weird, depressing, awkward space you would not be alone in that.

Sooooo, how am I going to tackle all this? Well, in addition to a solid mood board, I like to also have rough plan.

    I just serendipitously stumbled on your blog. You have some wonderful ideas. You refer to your brother’s business…would live to purchase some hooks and brackets if I could get the name/website. Thank you!
