Well the master bathroom makeover is now officially underway. I spent Monday night painting and last night we hung the new valance. And can I say… what a difference a coat of paint makes!
Check out the before again…
And here’s the after with just paint and a valance.
Much warmer in here!
Here’s another angle. Yeah, lots of white before.
I’m completely in love with the new window treatment from RLF Home (the Cerque Empire valance). I wanted the newly finished master bedroom to flow into the adjoining bath, and this valance had the perfect color scheme to make it work.
I did find a vanity stool as well this past week from Amazon. I’m hoping to find some rugs and towels in the same golden color. Then I also need to find some artwork to fill up these walls.
And the mirror. Yeah, I need to finish that. I’m trying to decide if I should frame it out like I did in our powder room or remove it completely and hang some gold framed mirrors. I’m taking suggestions.
So if you don’t remember, here’s what the mood board looked like. I’m inching towards the finish line folks. I can feel it. We’re really trucking along now.
I might be putting the rest of this makeover on hold for a week or two while I get some Easter crafts out of the way (well at least to you; I’ll be working behind the scenes to finish). But can you believe next week is March already? I’m ready though… ready for warmer weather, leaves on the trees, and Daylight Savings time!

Huge improvement! If you frame out the mirror, will you do it in gold? Love your mood board ideas. Good luck on finding all the rest. It’s much more relaxing looking now.

Yes, I think I will try to do it in gold, right? I think that will really pop off the gray walls and looks classy with the espresso cabinets.
Jenny says
It looks great! How much do you charge to paint? LOL! I need the whole house painted. I think the mirror would look better framed, plus it would be cheaper than buying 2 mirrors.
howtonestforless says
HA! Is it weird that I find it therapeutic to paint? I’ve painted 3 rooms in the past 2 weeks! And thanks for the input. Going to frame it out now 😉

I would frame the mirror…taking it down looks like it would be dangerous and a pain in the rear.. ..also u have one vanity chair…so with the big mirror u can see to put on make up or styling hair as well as a mirror over both sinks..with one big mirror u cover all the basis
Michelle says
Jamie,
You and I are thinking along the same lines…keep the big mirror so the vanity chair is useable for hair and makeup.
Erin, you are a renovating rock star!
howtonestforless says
HA, thanks Michelle! And thanks for the suggestion. I totally didn’t think about that part. What is up with me?!
krista says
Glad you gals mentioned the make up chair needing the mirror in front of it…..I was going to say that too 🙂
Erin~~ do your magic and distress the frame you put around the mirror and have gold in the layers.
You’ll figure it out perfectly!
Could also add some pre-fab medallions on the frame at the top or on the corners, something fancy….
howtonestforless says
Thanks for the ideas Krista!!
howtonestforless says
Thanks for the input Jamie. You are so right!! I didn’t even think about the vanity part. DOH!
Lisa says
I love it! I love white, too, but the gray just warmed it right up. As for the mirror, I would frame it out.
howtonestforless says
Thanks Lisa! OK, gonna frame it out now 😉
Elizabeth @ Pineapples and Polka Dots says
What a beautiful space! I love the new paint color. If this is a bathroom you use to get ready each day, I’d choose to frame the existing large mirror. I like to have a large mirror in our upstairs bath so I can look at my outfit. Smaller, hung mirrors are tougher for that. Either way, it will be classy for sure!
Sarah says
Looks great! Agree with everyone about framing the mirror. What type of countertops do you have?
howtonestforless says
Nothing fancy for the countertops. Just builder grade stuff 🙁
