Around the House: Guest/Kid Bathroom

Finally, posting a little bit about making our house our home.

First up, the guest/kid bathroom upstairs.  A few weeks ago I was finally able to put some paint on the walls (BM: Gray Owl), and I think it freshens the room right up.

Before:

Progress:

The previous owners were nice and update some of the hardware in the bathroom, so one less thing we have to do/purchase.  Most of the fixtures in the house are the original builder grade stuff - not my 

favorite!  I did buy a new shower curtain (Target) and put some artwork up (my grandmother painted the canvases/plate from anthropologie/small painting from etsy).  What's left to do:

Soon: Paint the cabinets

Someday: Replace the light fixture and faucets

I think this is a great bathroom makeover. A lot of the houses that we are looking at have similar bathrooms, generic builder blah. I'm always trying to think of inexpensive ways to update and bring character to these types of bathrooms. I always new I would probably have to paint the cabinetry, but never thought of removing the drawers and doors. I love how they brought in a fun fabric to liven things up. Then just update the lights, mirrors and faucets and you have a builder basic bathroom with some character.
