Our $62 Mini Bathroom Makeover

The master bathroom in our new home had just been completely renovated, so although we will be adding some personal touches it is nice not to have to tackle that project. However, the other two bathrooms we plan on doing some remodeling to. One of them we plan on remodeling in February or March and then will probably hold off a little while before tackling the second one. I had originally been planning on doing this downstairs bathroom first because it's the one that everyone sees, but after giving it a quick mini makeover it has made a big difference so now I am leaning towards doing the girls' bathroom upstairs.

(Sorry in advance for the not so great photos - this room gets zero natural light so it makes photographing it  pretty tricky.)

While I am deciding on whether we first tackle the girls' bathroom upstairs or this one downstairs I decided to give this bathroom a quick mini makeover because the flowery tile mural kind of drove me crazy every time I walked by it, plus it's the bathroom everyone uses when they visit. Because we will eventually be remodeling this bathroom I didn't want to spend much money. My goal was to spend under $100 so I was excited to end up at $62! 

First I bought a inexpensive shower tension rod for around $10. Then I found some 96" curtain panels at HomeGoods. They were $19.99 for a pack of two panels. I could have gotten away with just two but I wanted it to look nice and full so I ended up buying two packs. I hung it high - right up to the ceiling to help completely hide the shower. Then the only other item I purchased was the little rug. I loved the navy and gray colors in it and it was just $12. Once I had the curtains and the rug, even though it looked fine with the blue walls I thought it would be prettier against a really dark wall. I had some Nightfall on hand so used that (obviously if I had to buy paint it would have brought my cost up a bit more but I still would have come in under $100). I have to say, painting a bathroom is my least favorite! Ha, every time I paint one I cringe the whole time. But the nice thing is it usually goes really quickly! 

For the finishing touches I just used things we already owned and hadn't found a spot for yet in our new house. I love the mirror in here!

Peonies and Some New Nightstands in our Guest Room

I hope you all had a lovely weekend! We've got a busy week ahead with lots of guest coming so I thought today I would share a couple more things we have switched around in our guest room. I am still working on some finishing touches for the bedding and the desk wall and will share the full room once I do those but for today wanted to share the nightstands that we added to room. I really wanted to add some wood to the room because I feel like just about every space needs at least a little bit of wood to add warmth and personality. When I saw these side tables at Birch Lane I knew they would be absolutely perfect! It can be hard to tell sometimes in photos, but they are quite large which I LOVE. It gives so much surface space for lamps, books, and any other accessories that you or your guests might want to be able to put on the nightstand each night.

I love the shape of the base and the color of the wood. We have a matching on the other side of the bed as well and when I share full room shots once it's finished you'll be able to see that one as well.

We also love the cozy factor that the buffalo check curtains from Country Curtains add to the room. 

And the chandelier is another one of my favorite additions to the room. I like the smaller more dainty size of it for this space.

The bag is from Mark and Graham and was a gift from my aunt a couple of years ago and it has been one of my favorite gifts ever!

Our peony season is officially over here so I think this is probably the last set of peony pictures I'll be sharing this year. (Unless I have some on my camera that I've forgotten about - ha!)
