I still have a major vanity project up my sleeve. Don't you worry, it'll knock your socks off. But, all in all, the hall bath I hated has come a long way.
The total "before." Before I switched out the shade for window film, which was huuuuge.
Then, the middle before. With the window film...but, oh so cold and stark and just somehow incohesive and blah.
The "after"? Oh, lala!
What did I do?
The window film ($14), taking out the trim on the top window ($0), the roman shade ($171), the frame for the mirror ($20), the paint ($20, it's Manchester Tan, btw), the light ($150), the shower curtain ($58). The day of repair ($0).
No, it's not the hall bath reno I dreamed of, but it's way more in line with the rest of the house now and I don't cringe when I'm in there.
Just wait till I show you the coup de grace on this whole shebang. It's in process, and it's why I did this whole thing anyway. A hint? The IKEA stool is going, going, gone!
*And yes, I know I have varied above from lights off to lights on and then back. But, really, the thing getting me all grill cheesed about this bathroom is how much brighter and warmer it is with the lights off - which is how I usually see it anyway. I'll do another post soon on the lighting switch to show y'all the difference that made.
This project was also a part of Thrifty Decor Chick's November Before and After Party. Hooray!
Wow, it looks way better now! And it looks very expensive! Our bathroom is pretty much a disaster right now. Maybe we should also renovate it before the year ends!

Nah, you can always start in li’l ways… This couldn’t be your dream bathroom, but at least, you’re close to it. What you did in your window film was good. Who thought about it?
