The Bathroom Reveal!

Hey all! I've got a finished bathroom to show you! I'll leave a source list at the bottom of this post, but if I miss something and you have a question about something, just leave me a comment. On to the pictures!


As you can see these are the in progress pictures.














Annnnnddd all finished! Well finished ish. I'll still need to put a final coat of paint on the doors, and change the lightbulbs to clear ones. So it's 95% finished.



The vanity is from Ikea. I knew that I wanted drawers instead of cabinet doors. I find drawers to be more functional storage and since this is primarily my kids' bathroom, I wanted something that they could easily keep organized. I didn't want to see their toothbrushes, and hair brushes, and the like, always sitting out on the counter. This system makes it much easier to open a drawer and drop their things in. As a matter of fact, if I were to redo my kitchen again I would only have drawers, not cabinet doors, on the bottom.










The sink didn't come with the vanity but, it too, came from Ikea. It comes in different sizes and without the lip around the outside, if maybe you were installing it right up against tile. I also knew I wanted a one hole faucet. And I left off the plate that comes with the faucet. I prefer the cleaner look without it.




These vanity lights are actually exterior lights from Home Depot. The link that I included is not the exact lights that I used, but they are almost identical. I couldn't find the ones I bought. Dang I wish had some clear bulbs on hand!


As you can see in the picture, I chose to use hooks to hang the bath towels instead of a towel bar. Again, this was more about functionality than anything else. My kids aren't great at hanging up their towels yet, so in an effort to keep wet towels off the floor, I gave them each a hook and bought towels with a fabric loop so they would be easier for them to hang. Some of you might be questioning my white towels in a kids' bathroom. But fear not! I always wash my towels with bleach, so that's why the white.




And a little coral artwork. I always need a little something decorative in every room, no matter how small. These prints were actually the jumping off point for the room, and actually help inspire the wall color. Sorry about the terrible photo. The dark frames tie in to the dark framed mirror, and the dark knobs on the vanity, and provide a nice contrast to the lighter walls and all the white. And there you have it! I hope you enjoyed the pictures. My kids are loving their new spaces, and I'm very satisfied with the way things are functioning so far. If I missed any details you want to know leave a comment and I'll answer the best I can. Next time I'll show you some finished bedrooms!
