So last week I showed you my mother’s kitchen cabinet makeover that I completed while my parents were on vacation. Well, that wasn’t the only project I tackled while they were having some fun in the sun… here’s their Guest Bathroom Makeover.

guest bathroom makeover on a budgetMy parents’ guest bathroom was quite bare. Just some Paper Illusions wallpaper and nothing else. Time to refresh, right? My mom gave me a $200 budget and I got to work.

The hard part of designing around this room was the gold plumbing fixtures: the faucet, shower surround, towel hangers, toilet paper holder, etc.

I hung one on the shower door and one on the towel rack behind the door, then tied each one back with large gold tassels.

Overall the bathroom cost me less than $200 to freshen up.
Not too shabby, right?

    So pretty! Good thing brass is coming back!!! Isn’t it fabulous when you find exactly the piece to pull a room together – a pattern in the right colours does the trick every time. Great job!
