Welp, it only took us six months after ripping off the builder grade mirror in our guest/kids bathroom, but we finally finished this project! (And by “we”…I mean we called in an awesome handyman to finish the bulk. Raised the white flag and never looked back, ha! Usually, we opt for a good DIY…but then there are times when ya gotta just admit ya can’t do it ALL. 😉) We thought living with pockmarked sheet rock after the mirror came down would motivate us to buckle down, but alas…six months later, here we are! Meh. Better late than never, right….?!? 😉
What it looked like for 6 months post-mirror-removal.
What it looked like in progress this week.
For this guest bathroom refresh, we wanted to keep things relatively simple and budget-friendly, so we used leftover paint from other projects (SW Sea Salt on the cabinets and SW Alabaster on the shiplap, walls and ceilings), and instead of replacing the old cabinets, we simply added updated hardware and a coat of paint! The shelves, light fixtures and mirrors were all purchased on a budget, and we found the faucets on sale, too!
For the design, I wanted to mix my favorite blue/green color (SW Sea Salt) with whites, brass and black to create a modern farmhouse vibe with a little pop of color. The soft brass hardware and faucets [HERE] can also be found on the school house fixtures as well as the matte black. Loved the circular mirrors to add some soft edges to an otherwise sleek vibe, and the wood tones in the floating shelves help add back in some warmth to the space.
Moral of the story: when it comes to DIY projects, do as much as you can…and then ask for help. 😉 Since I have a home decor-focused social media platform, I felt kind of like I was failing to not have done all of this with my own two hands, but I’ll tell ya what: it was worth making room in the budget to ask for help in order to not feel as overwhelmed as I have in the past during projects. Maybe I didn’t get the new countertops I thought I wanted…but giving up control and a bit of the budget to a professional was well worth the trade off. Because…it is now actually FINISHED!! Ha! #worthit 🙂

Is this a special paint from SW for cabinets???
Oh my gosh! Gorgeous! The round mirrors look perfect!
I’m dying for some shiplap in my house. Seems people are using lots of ways to create a “shiplap” look. What product did you use?
I absolutely love it especially the round mirrors ! Job well done.
Absolutely gorgeous. You are so talented.
Goes to show you don’t have to spend a lot of money to make a big impact on a remodeling project. I’m so happy for the girls. They are going to love it!
Not sure if I missed the link, but where are the light fixtures from? Love the bathroom, it looks fabulous!
This looks so pretty and bright! I’m thankful for your real-ness — there’s so many DIY things on my list that get put off!
I love everything about this refresh!!! My girl’s bathroom needs some major attention. Their huge mirror FELL OFF the wall last week just after they had gotten in bed. Glass everywhere! PTL it didn’t happen while they were in there brushing their teeth! So, now it looks like yours did 😛 Is it ok if I just copy you? 🙂 Thanks for sharing your talent and ideas with all of us!
Looks fantastic!!!!
Can’t find the lighting source either?
Just perfect! Where are the light fixtures from? Thanks!
Gorgeous!! Love it!
Did you post a link to the new light fixtures??
I absolutely love it!! Quick question, where did you get your step stool from?
Love the shelves! Where are they from?
Where are the shelves from? I did not see them in your sources and we just did our bathroom and are looking for ones similar. Thanks
I love what you did in your bathroom. We just painted our Master bedroom and bathroom in the Sea Salt, which I love. I am looking for floating shelves that you used and am thinking I would like those in my bathroom as well. What ones did you use from Target? Or where they from somewhere else?
Love this! What finish is the paint you used?
Erin, you did an incredible job with this space!!
SO beautiful!! Seriously LOVE. I have been looking everywhere for floating shelves… and these are exactly what I’m looking for!! Can you please share where you got this? Or did you DIY them?
