About This Project

I so wish I had taken a before picture! Last summer we did a lot to make over this bathroom. Previously the cabinets were a birch color with a white door (gross). The faucet was one that came with the house, cheapo builder's grade, a tacky medicine cabinet, and that oh so attractive Hollywood lighting. So we painted the cabinet black, replaced the medicine cabinet with a nicer black mirror, replaced the faucet and lights. That had it looking pretty decent, but the wall above the toilet had 3 small pictures hung rather oddly to hide some poor patch jobs from a busted towel bar. So when I saw the plan for the bathroom shelf I was thrilled! I made a few adjustments to the size to meet what I wanted and got started. I also had an extra 30 minutes before a birthday party we were leaving for and had some scraps already the right size for a simple step stool.

All in all it looks quite

All in all it looks quite nice but it would have looked even nicer if you put a different lighting system. Some interesting bathroom accessories wold also make it look more interesting. You did a really nice job.

bathroom renovation

I've recently renovated my bathroom and I wanted to make something elegant and modern. I've seen on a magazine some mirror fine finishes on Stainless Steel created by the Maine metal fabrication company and I chose one of them. Also I bought some nice bathroom accessories.

I think it is a really good

I think it is a really good idea that they are helping with loans for home repair. We recently received a warehouse lighting from ProLighting.com as a donation and it really helps our community! We are humans and we should help each other in need shouldn't we?

We sometimes do need to freshen up

We sometimes do need to freshen up our house or some of its parts. If we first plan well what part of our house needs renovation then it would be easier for us to do it well and within your budget. Always do the designing beforehand for your house or for a room or for staircase.

It would have been better

It would have been better to get a glimpse of the bathroom before the change. The look it has now is simply superb. When we look for interior solutions, we sometimes focus solely on looks, however, we need to keep functionality in mind too, only then we would be able to come up with a perfect design for our home.

Oh! Your bathroom re-do

Oh! Your bathroom re-do projects sounds cool and abrupt. Myself being a bathroom lover usually spend times in Bathrooms. Besides always avid to observe the interiors. As you have done up with the black fixtures and cabinet, I guess it looks pretty stunning. Your ideas and the layout looks good to me and for sure I'm going to utilize my next afternoon.
