The REVEAL of Our Colorful DIY Bathroom Remodel
Last Updated on June 5, 2022
It's REVEAL DAY! Check out how our DIY bathroom remodel turned out! It's modern, colorful and happy and we are in LOVE with it!
Y'all, I could almost cry I'm so happy. Now that we've finished our powder room renovation, THE ENTIRE FIRST FLOOR OF OUR HOME IS FULLY RENOVATED! It has taken us nearly 7 years to get to this point and it feels oh so good!
The Bathroom Remodel VIDEO
If you want to see how we completed this DIY bathroom remodel in 7 (yes, only SEVEN) days of work, just watch the video below!
The Bathroom “Before”
Let's take a peek at what it looked like when we bought our house over 6 years ago. It was outdated and very basic, beige and boring.
About 5 years ago we gave it a little refresh by giving the sink and countertop this DIY concrete overlay and painting the cabinet. We also added a cool DIY wood frame with concrete inlay to the builder grade mirror and updated the outdated lighting with spray paint and new lightbulbs. This was the result.

The Bathroom REVEAL
Enough background. Let's take a look at how it turned out!
It's really hard for me to say what my favorite thing about this space is, so I'm just going to highlight the things that I think make this space so special. First, let's talk about the from Signature Hardware. It's so unique and feels like a piece of furniture, which I love! The herringbone pattern at the top is on point and the mid-century modern legs give me all the feels.
And then there's the cement tile. I have wanted cement tile forever. It's so smooth and chic. But most of the cement tiles you see out there right now have a real “farmhouse” vibe, which is not my jam. So one day I literally googled, “cement tile not farmhouse” and after sorting through all kinds of weird results, I found Saba Tile. It was love at first sight! I contacted the owner pretty much immediately and asked him if he'd like to collaborate and was thrilled when he said yes! This tile is everything, y'all!
Now, let's talk about the fixtures we chose. I fell in love with this vanity light pretty quickly. It's a beautiful satin brass finish.
Once that decision was made, we chose the towel bar and toilet paper holder in the same finish.
And then there's our sexy faucet. We chose this polished brass faucet from Peerless, and I'm loving it. It’s the perfect balance of style and functionality, all while remaining water-efficient. The gorgeous finish is shimmery and like added jewelry to the space, standing out against the white countertop and walls. The fact that I can see the colorful mural reflected on the shiny surface makes me very happy.
And then there is the wall mural I painted. I was terrified to go for it with a wall mural, but I'm so happy I did. I am OBSESSED with it. A tutorial for the mural will be coming soon :)
Then there are other small touches in the room, like this artwork I created for above the toilet!
Oh, and there is the new toilet. I love the fact that it has a square base. It just gives it a more modern feel.
Phew! What do you think? This room has come a long way! As usual, I have to finish it off with a side-by-side comparison.
