Cottage Bathroom Makeover



                                                                            Hello everyone,

                                                          We are still enjoying warm weather here
                                                           so we have been enjoying some relaxing
                                                           time at the cottage.

     The bath room was very small at
   the cottage when we bought it last
year so we have extended it a bit
so we could add an antique cast
iron claw foot bathtub.
I like the old rusty look of the
tub but will probably give it
        a fresh coat of paint in the spring.



                                                                 We put shiplap on the walls
                                                                  and the ceiling. I left the ceiling
                                                                  natural for now but put a wash of
                                                                  white on the walls. The small
                                                                  chandelier was a thrift store find.

                                                               
                                                                    The door was an old pine door that I
                                                                     bought at the Restore a few years ago.
                                                                     I gave it a wash of white as well.
                                                                      We put down an easy care vinyl floor
                                                                      that looks like a board floor.

                                                        The windows also came from the Restore
                                                        and the pedestal sink was a $25 yard sale find.
                                                         On the other end of the room will have shelves
                                                         built for storage.



                                                                   The before .....a small shower
                                                                   was behind the door.

                                                      I am loving the changes in our little
                                                                 cottage bathroom! Although there is still some
                                                                 work to be done to it, it will wait until
                                                                 spring. I have enjoyed the process of
                                                                 giving the bathroom a new look and
                                                                  love that we were able to do it on the
                                                                  cheap!
                                                                             Hope you have a great week and
                                                                         thank you for visiting me.

                                                                                                     Carolyn

I think this is about the sweetest bathroom I've ever seen. I can't believe you found that sink at a yard sale!

Its great that you could enlarge the bathroom. The original was functional but way too small. I like what you've done with it!

VJ said...

Wow! It's gorgeous!!! I love all of the windows. And, is that the Souris lighthouse painted onto your little blue stool?

Carolyn said...

Hi VJ,
Thank you! No, that isn't the Souris lighthouse.

You are so good at what you do! I could just stare at this bath all day long! Do you rent your cottage? I'd be interested if you do! Sandi from Cape Cod

Carolyn said...

Hi Sandi,
Thank you for kind words. We don't rent out our cottage as we are enjoying it as much as we can with our family but thanks for your interest!
Take care,
Carolyn

What a lovely transformation! And even nicer to know that careful planning meant you didn't need to spend a fortune to do it. Thanks for sharing the Before and After (those are always so satisfying to see, you know). Best, -Beth
