The Main Bathroom




I am simply giddy with excitement because today we put the final touch on the main bath. The last project on the to-do list for this room was to install the barnwood shelf. I'm loving how it this room turned out! It makes me (just slightly) more confident moving ahead on our other home improvement projects.

Here's a better view of the shelf. This was before I decorated the shelf. And the paint color doesn't show true in this photo. The main photo (above) is a closer to the actual color. And speaking of paint color we used "Grandma's Linen" by Valspar.


This is the medicine cabinet we found years ago while antiquing. I honestly cannot remember where we found it or how much we paid. I love the patina on the wood.

This pedestal sink we found for under $100 at Lowes. 
Rug from Through the Country Door

This egg basket was another find. I thought of staging it for the photo with cream colored towels but I decided to be honest. This is what we use it for - to hold the bath toys.

And finally the curtains are from Country Curtains. I've wanted them for a few years so I was shocked when I didn't immediately love them when they arrived. Fortunately they've grown on me but the picture does not do them justice.

So here's what we used for this bathroom makeover:

  • Walls - we installed a product called "ply bead". Lowes sells it under the name Plytanium Natural Sawn Plywood. It comes in 4' x 8' sheets and easy to install.
  • Paint - Grandma's Linen by Valspar 
  • Curtains - Macrame Medallion Tier and Valance in ecru by Country Curtains
  • Bath mat - Crochet border bath mat in ivory by Through the Country Door
  • An old medicine cabinet we found antiquing 
  • Barnwood shelf - cut from a board we took from an old house, with permission :)
  • A small claw foot tub - we found it for sale in the local classifieds and had it refinished
  • The fixtures for the tub - ebay
  • Knotty pine interior door - our local supplier is Southern Building Supply but they can also be special ordered at Lowe's. 
The budget for this makeover is just an estimate. This bathroom has been done a bit at a time over many years. My best guess would be about $2,000 which includes us hiring someone to install the walls and flooring.
