Master Bathroom Before & After

We weren't really intending to do too much in the master bathroom (like lipstick on a pig), but just a little paint made such a huge difference! It's the quirkiest room in the house to be sure, with all the textured glass partitions and steps up to the commode, but it's not lacking character. Right? To refresh your memory, here is the before...


The only thing I really wanted to do was paint those nasty, boring cabinets white and remove all the weird textured glass. As soon as we took the one by the sink down it instantly felt better! All the yellow was covered by pretty avocado green; the cabinets, mirror frame, and ceiling got semi-gloss white (two to three coats!); and most of the brassy fixtures got sanded down and painted with oil-rubbed bronze.

Now, some after shots! They are from my phone, so hopefully they are sharp enough to see the awesome difference. Just ignore the mess and the blue rug, I was too excited to about taking pictures to clean up first.





More pictures to come after it's cleaned up. Still on our to-do list in here is:
  • Add some handles to the cabinet drawers and doors
  • Paint the rest of the brass (shower stall, sink faucet, tub faucet)
  • Find a reasonable color for rugs that won't compete with the rest of the colors in here
  • Figure out what to do about the wobbly glass toilet partition

Paint colors:
Purple is Sherwin Williams HGTV Home in Dewberry (Flat)
Green is Sherwin Williams HGTV Home in Gleeful (Satin)
White is Sherwin Williams HGTV Home in Extra White (Semi-Gloss)
Bronze is Rust-oleum Universal Metallic in Oil-Rubbed Bronze
