Hello and welcome to The DIY Home Planner Bathroom Week 2. Last week we talked about Space Planning and Paint Colors.
Last Week’s Progress
In terms of Space Planning, the wimpy old crown molding was removed.
The transformation of the overhead cabinet began…
…think molding and corbels.
Throughout the space holes were patched, doors were removed…
…and everything was well sanded.
We then moved on to the arduous task of painting EVERYTHING.
Walls, crown molding, baseboards, door frames, door, the vanity, and cabinet.
The DIY Home Planner Bathroom Week 2
We are now ready to move on to the Flooring Options, Wall Treatments, and Window Treatments sections found in The DIY Home Planner.
Flooring Options
While the 12″ x 12″ size of the current tile is somewhat dated it is a nice neutral color and it is in really good condition. For budgets reasons, the tile will remain but it will receive a makeover.
I’m also on the hunt for just the right rug.
It will be blue and it will have a pattern.
Wall Treatments
We are definitely doing something with the mirror that involves crown molding and trims.
This is our inspiration. I know this is a kitchen shot but put on your rose-colored glasses and imagine.
Window Treatments
The plans for this space do not involve any sort of window treatments but I will be using ready made curtains to create a floor to ceiling shower curtain.
Like this…
It will be blue and white. Will it be floral, striped or geometric? Stay tuned.
Congratulations to Jeanie of The Marmelade Gypsy. She won last week’s FB contest for a copy of The DIY Home Planner. More giveaways will be held soon.
Come back on Wednesday for the 2nd installment of my Spring Home Tour.

The bathroom is looking good, can’t wait to see it all done.
I love the bathroom with the teal walk-in shower. I wish I’d done that with mine.
It will be beautiful, Laura!
I cannot wait to see the makeover of your tile! I have similar tile in my mud room and I want to update it but it would be a waste of money as there is nothing wrong with it. Looking forward to seeing more of your bathroom.
If you have TJMAXX and MArshalls near you they have had a lot of rugs, many blue lately.
I’m curious to see what you do with the tile. personally I like square tile better than subway tile – the latter seems too busy to me. But I know that’s the trend now. Looking forward to seeing the next installment!
Major task, are you doing it yourselves? We’ve redone endless bathrooms, so worth it when you’re finished! Love that blue herringbone shower curtain!
Its so nice when you get past the demolition part of the renovations. The dust and sometimes the ‘unexpected surprises’ are done with so you can get on with the good stuff. Your tiles actually look good so no sense replacing what isn’t broke!
Can’t wait to see the finished rooms. I am sure it will look as amazing as the rest of your home. 🙂
Isn’t it wonderful to have a dear hubby who is handyman? They never fail to come through when we come up with an idea <3
The changes are looking good!
All that prep and hard work will pay off! Can’t wait to see the rest. Great start.
This is such fun watching your bathroom’s transformation. Enjoy! mary in Az
Laura, just wanted to let you know I linked your Victorian Tea Party in 10 Minutes post, and borrowed one of your pictures, in my tea post today. Please let me know if that’s a problem. xo, Sharon
