25 the bathroom: before and after.

Guess what friends!  The bathroom is finally finished.  To be honest, it's been finished for awhile, I just had to find a few small touches before I could call it complete.

Here's what it looked like before.  Hello 1990's.

They had a border up on the ceiling, and the walls were a taupe color.

The fixtures were really dated, and the toilet was always running.  And don't even get me started on that disgusting rusty heating vent.

The holes above the mirror weren't there when we moved in.  We had to drill those to find the live wire that was hanging out behind the wall with no cap on it.

We removed all of the fixtures, cut (and then repaired) a giant hole in the wall to get to the wire and make the wall straight again (it was bowed out where the pipes were for the faucet), and added tile where the old vanity was (since the new cabinet hangs on the wall up off the floor).  Then we painted (Behr paint, color matched to Martha Stewart Heavy Goose) and installed the new toilet, vanity cabinet, mirror, lighting/exhaust fan, and towel bar.  We also replaced all of the outlet covers, the floor vent, and trim and painted the door.

The rug and Marrimekko towels (discontinued) are from Crate & Barrel.  The Kohler toilet is from Home Depot.

The towel rod and toilet paper holder are from Lowes.  The garbage can is from Crate & Barrel.  After looking at this picture, we need to replace the door knob!

The ceiling light/exhaust fan is from Home Depot.  The vanity light is from Lowe's.

The vanity set is this one from CSN Stores.  It came with the cabinet, faucet, sink, and mirror.  The bottom drawer pulls open for storage.

I was having a hard time finding artwork I liked for this room so I framed some fabric from Patricia Bravo's Modern Affair.

I picked up some pretty faux ranunculus at Meijer this weekend.  They were just what I needed to brighten up the corner.

So what do you think of our new bathroom?  I love it!
