A NEW & IMPROVED GUEST BATHROOM

Let me start this post by saying thank you to everyone that linked this week to Tuesdays at Our Home.
I appreciate your support very much. :)

Today, I am sharing the changes I have made to our guest bathroom. 
I got a little tired of the darker colors and went a lighter this time around.

Here is the before picture.

To be truthful, I didn't want to spend a bunch of money changing things in this space, so I gave myself a $50.00 budget. Let me show you what I did.

First, I emptied the whole bathroom, cleaned it from top to bottom and I patched and spot painted 
all the little nail holes on the wall.
The next day I went to Ross and I purchased a new set of drapes in a neutral color that will allow me 
to make changes later on without having to replace them again. 
To save some money, I used the existing bar.

 Meanwhile, my husband built me some new ledge shelves.
I tried shopping on line for these, but they were quite expensive. 
Thanks to my husband, they were free for me since he used leftover wood and paint we already had.
I painted them rubbed bronze first and when that was dried, gave them a light coat of of sating Heirloom White.

 
To finish them off, we added a little Fleur de Lis embellishment.

And soon after that, my very empty bathroom was ready to get dressed up. :)

To decorate the bathroom and shelves, I just "shopped" my storage and linen closets.
Using some old frames I had and the Silhouette Cameo, I made a few decor items which I paired with a little greenery and some orange accents for the Fall season.

Underneath, I placed another old frame I made with a glass knob from Hobby Lobby and a basket 
with a few extra hand towels.

On the vanity, I just added the vase I found at Ross on clearance, a few orange branches I already had from last Fall and the old candle holder I had in the kitchen over the Summer.

On the opposite wall, I used the old frame I fixed last month, a few towels and I used the old metal basket I bought at Kirklands a few years ago to store at hand a few more bathroom supplies.

I finished the bathroom with a new creamy rug, also from Ross.
It came with two pieces, but I only used the larger one.

Here is a before and after.

Lets see how I did on my budget.

 And that is my $50.00 bathroom remodel. 
Hope this post gives you the inspiration to make changes in your home on a budget. 
With a little shopping around and using old things you already have in your homes, you can make changes without spending a lot money.

Thank you all so much for your visit.
See you soon!
