One Room Challenge Week 8 // Reveal Part 2
We made it! Another One Room Challenge in the books! I am just so happy with how this bright and modern kids bath turned out! Started from a dated 80’s bathroom with a blue formica countertop and carpet and gave her a major glow-up in the form of a complete renovation. Now - classic selections with a special layer to make it a happy, updated space for my kiddos. You can read lots more in the previous weeks. A BIG thank you to Colette of The Lipstick Lens for capturing the space.

BEFORE
Here’s what it looked like in last week’s post.
AFTER
What we did -
demoed everything
repaired and painted walls
installed tub and tile surround
replaced carpet and tile with classic mosaic tile
installed pre-built vanity
new lighting
novelty paint details
fun accessories
What We Saved on -
We demoed everything ourselves. While the vanity wasn’t cheap, I purchased almost a year ago on sale, and included the marble top and sinks. I repaired and painted walls myself. Also installed light myself. Using sample paint jars at a few dollars per color saved hundreds over wallpaper or other novelty install.
What We Splurged on -
For the first time ever I hired out tub and tile installation and all the plumbing. The tub needed a specialty drain that I had not accounted for in my budget. Lighting was on the higher side, but it was exactly what I was looking for. I also splurged on really bringing in color and fun with accessories.
