Water Closet Makeover

Well, I am happy to say that I have finished the update of the water closet. I forced myself to focus on only one project and it worked. I don’t know about you, but once I do get the project bug my mind goes crazy with ideas. For instance a walk to the garage to grab a tool turns into 20 minutes because I get sidetracked by all the other projects I want to do. But this time was different. Any time I felt myself going in that direction I gave my self a quick reminder, and bam back on track.

So here are the results. Of course styled terrible because that is not my strong suit. I can get the bones, but the rest is a real struggle.

This room is very hard to photograph. I am standing in the shower with my back against the wall. When I say it is small I mean, IT IS SMALL.

Also, the lack of natural light gives the color a weird look, but I don’t care. It look so much better.

So lets talk budget:

• Paint-$10 ( I used sample size from Sherwin Williams. It says not to but I have before and so far so good so I went for it. If they don’t want you to use them why are they so big?)
• Towel Hangers-$18
• Caulk-$3

That is a total of $31

I will never stop being amazed at the trans formative power of paint.

I already had the trim (Habitat Resale) and cabinet (which I got last summer for $5 at a yard sale).

Lets compare

That isn’t not a true before. The true before had no trim and a cheap laminate standing cabinet thing. The floor still needs help, but that will have to be done later.

The paint on the top and bottom of the molding do look almost the same in the photo, but in person there is a nice difference.

The paint on the top of the molding is Sherwin Williams Chatroom 6171. It is a grey/green

For the bottom, I had Sherwin Williams lighten the Chatroom by 50%.
