Fresh & {a little} Funky Bathroom

The past few weeks, I've been anxiously awaiting this post! For me, most projects hit 90-99% completion, and I call it good. With this one, I was determined to finish it COMPLETELY before posting. Well, I'm happy to say it's finally done! This was a week-long project that I managed to extend by blaming a bad saw (it really was a bad saw, though), thus taking three weeks. 

This bathroom has actually been in the works for several years (at least four). Back then, I installed IKEA cabinets for hidden storage. Last spring, on a whim, I had a solar tube with fan installed in place of the previous bath fan, which is what inspired me to finally finish the space. These photos were all taken without any lights on a clear but not-sunny day.

The colors were inspired by the existing beautiful YET HORRIBLY INSTALLED shower tile. Ironically, as I neared completion on this room, I came to the conclusion the tile will need to be removed sooner rather than later. 

Here's what this latest round of room refresh entailed, in order:

• Build & install a wall partition
• Cut & install boards to form faux board & batten
• Prime & paint all new trim
• Prime walls & install wallpaper
• Embellish shower curtain & move rod higher
• Install new vanity lights (hubby)
• Paint & hang new mirrors
• Connect, enclose & paint vanity
• Build, paint & install vanity doors & drawers
