Modern Boho Budget Bathroom Makeover

modern boho bathroom makeover

  I’ve been teasing you all about a bathroom makeover since I moved into my 1970’s house. The vanilla color on the walls..cabinets, countertops..paired with the grey floors made for a horrific sight. Plus the faded green curtain on the rusty metal rod? So cute, right? I know, I know, it could’ve been worse. I wasn’t dealing with yellow or pink tile or some horrific peeling wallpaper, but still, it was uninspired for lack of a better word. Last week I shared my inspiration for my bathroom and the elements I loved from each picture. You can check that post out here.  There were elements I knew I wanted in my bathroom, like brushed gold (DUH) and high contrast design. I also always loved the idea of a Vintage/Persian style rug in a bathroom space, so I made it my mission to find one. Just like my thrifty kitchen makeover [if you haven’t checked that out yet, you don’t want to miss it] I didn’t want to spend an arm and a leg – I capped my budget at $200, and ended up spending $170!

My Boho Bathroom (Progress) & Inspiration

Lately I’ve been showcasing my bathroom on my Instagram stories (peep them here!) The hallway bathroom in my 1970’s split-level home was a blank canvas when I moved in a few months ago. Blank = boring as hell! Not only are the walls a creamy white, but the trim and vanity are painted the same..it’s like they just threw a bucket of paint in this bathroom and that was that. I guess the 70’s were an odd time… I love bathrooms. Is that a weird thing to say? I always find myself snapping a quick photo of them at restaurants and hotels (I got over the awkwardness of this years ago. My excuse? “Oh I’m a designer..”) I love tile, lighting, and the bold design choices that are nestled into one space! So when it came to my bathroom in my new house, I knew I wanted it to be my little sanctuary, because i’m a glass of wine and bubble bath kinda gal. So far, I’ve added a new shower curtain, hung shelfs above the toilet, and changed the mirror out. Once this space is complete, I am going to do a feature blog post, listing all the items I used and such, but for now i’m just going to showcase what we started with (brace yourself) and show you some of my FAVORITE bathrooms I found on Pinterest. 1974 called..and they want their bathroom back.   As you already know, I love to challenge myself and create the […]
