One Week Bathroom Makeover with The Home Depot

The first step in the process was brightening up our space with a new coat of white paint. I chose to go with Behr Premium Plus in Swiss Coffee because it is more of a creamy white with warm undertones. I painted one full wall and left another half painted because I knew we would eventually be adding a board and batten feature to cover up the old paint.

I knew the wallpaper was going to be the star of this makeover, and I wanted to go with a pattern that was timeless. I chose this pattern because I knew it would look incredible in any house, no matter the design choices, and would never go out of style. This pattern can work with a variety of decor pieces and would stand the test of time through ever-changing home decor trends. This wallpaper was very easy to apply, repositionable, and 100% removable without any sticky residue left behind.

Instead of purchasing a new vanity, I wanted to give our old one a facelift by changing the outdated hardware and going with a bold paint color. This is a super easy way to not only save money but drastically upgrade your existing space. I wanted to pull from the darker blues in Wallpaper, so I went with Behr Marquee in Champlain Blue. I primed the entire vanity using one coat of Bullseye 1-2-3 primerand 2-3 coats of Behr Champlain Blue. Once dried, I changed out the old hardware and replaced the entire faucet to add in some gold elements.

I replaced both the mirrorand vanity lighting. Instead of going with your traditional square or round mirror, I wanted a piece that was modern, sleek, and stylish and that would tie in the gold elements. When picking out vanity lighting, I also wanted to make sure it was gold and that it wouldn’t clash with the remainder of the space, but enhance it. The glass cylinders were a perfect touch as they provided another timeless element.

This was my first time creating a board and batten wall, and it was incredibly easy and gave the space a whole new look. We started by measuring to determine how high and wide we wanted the board and batten wall to be. Then it was a quick trip to The Home Depot to pick up 4x1 wood boards. To save time we had The Home Depot staff cut our wood to our measurements. After we had our boards cut to size, it was as simple as using our RYOBI nail gun to secure the boards. 2 horizontal and 4 vertical boards. Apply caulk to keep out moisture from behind the wood. Then apply wood filler to the nails, sand, and paint.

I replaced all of the old bronze fixtures and shower bar with gold to continue with the theme. The existing shower curtain was round and I wanted to keep that unique feature with this remodel. I was so pleased when I found a rod that was not only round but came in gold! I also needed to make sure all of my fixturesmatched the gold elements already installed so I made sure that each fixture matched by taking a small piece of gold hardware with me to my local Home Depot store.

For a quick and easy upgrade, I decided to go with peel-and-stick floor tiles. These tiles are super heavy, durable, and water-resistant! I wanted to tie in colors from the wallpaper, and when I saw this beautiful grey wood tone, I was smitten. I started by laying out all of the full pieces of tile that didn’t need to be cut. I then measured and cut various planks until the floor was completed.

Time to bring it all together and add a few fun decor items to finish the space. When picking out decor items, I wanted to focus on neutral elements that would enhance the “casual escape” theme. I again pulled from the wallpaper and used pieces that were rustic and provided a balance of the country cottage style combined with fresh contemporary touches. These muted, natural colors help create spaces that feel calm, inviting, and clean.
