A Little Updating

Back in January I made up my mind I was updating my bathroom.  Boy was that a job!  It took me two weeks to finish the main things, then along the way finishing touches were completed.  The bathroom originally had wallpaper, which I didn't think was horrible, but it was not applied well at all and it was coming off in several places.  Along with that the faucets were looking horrible!  Here is a pick of the old look right after we moved in 6 years ago.

So wallpaper came down, and textured was applied.  In the end I was not very pleased with my texture job, as the style changed as I kept going, lol!  Once I got things on the wall it's not too noticeable and still looks better than the wallpaper.  
         
After looking at various bathroom color combinations I decided I wanted to go with a burnt orange color, bronze for faucets, and ivory for bath decor.  It seemed so bold and different at first, but I really like it!


Something else I found I could do is change my tile grout color.  This was needed so badly!  It was stained, dark, and dirty looking along with being gray. This didn't match what I was doing, and I never thought it matched the color scheme before either.  It was really neat to use the Sherman Williams app to find a color paint to match the tile, and pull out the tan color that is in our tile.  I painted the grout and sealed it, and it worked great!

This Belize Memory Foam bath rug is AWESOME!!!
                                                                                  


I was able to use my old bath caddy by spray painting it with oil rubbed bronze.  It has some flaws, but it still worked and saved some money!
Even painted the soap cover

                                               
After doing this bathroom I am really dreading getting the other one done.  It was more work and money than I had suspected.  I think I've decided to freshen up Breann's room for my next project since it will be simple!

                                                                                
A Scentsy Plug was a perfect finish to the bathroom
