Bathroom vanity update & bathroom cabinet painting
Comments (1)I would replace both counters and sinks. The sinks do not match so even if you do (sort of) match the brown counter they will not look like they go together....See Morehow would you paint this master bathroom??
Comments (23)We’d actually just finished renovating our prior house when I saw this house and felt like we needed to come see it. We walked in and instantly knew we had to buy. It just gave us the warm and fuzzies (well 3600sf of living space vs our prior 1500sf had a lot to do with it too! My laundry room here is even bigger than my son’s room at the old house!) There was so much pride and attention to detail that the prior owners clearly put in. I work from home and spend all day in my house so as vain as it may be, I really enjoy the beauty and fine aspects of it A LOT. We definitely need to update quite a few things though. Everything is a huge undertaking though - physically and financially - with this much space and our desire to do it RIGHT. My husband is a superintendent for a custom builder and he believes in using high quality materials, even if it means we have to wait a while to have the budget for it. We’ve done a lot in 4 months - replaced an AC unit, pool equipment, re insulated the attic, all new double pane windows, plantation shutters (except this bathroom) and furnished the dining room, my office and our pool area. Next up is floor, paint and countertops in the kitchen. I imagine sometime in the next year (or two) we’ll be done. I HOPE! Anyways I really appreciate all of your input! I think I’ll head to SW this week and finally start painting!...See MoreHow would you modernize bathroom?
Comments (17)I think I'd start with just painting the walls a soft white or very pale taupe maybe. To me it's too much peachy beige going on. Is the wood trim consistent throughout the house? If so, I'd leave it (unless you want to tackle the whole house) and the vanity. If not, then you could consider painting the trim, vanity, door, etc. Assuming you don't want to re-do the flooring, I'd want to know if the tile runs under the vanity before considering replacing it with a single sink model. The mirror situation is tricky. I'd be tempted to just leave them or maybe just remove the one on the angled wall and have a single mirror on the flat wall, even though the second sink isn't centered on it. I think no matter what you do, if you keep the two sinks on this vanity, the mirror situation is going to be a little weird, but that's ok....See MoreHow would you update my bathroom?
Comments (10)I would paint the vanity a deep blue/gray or a deep green/gray. White countertop. Artwork above the toilet. Walls white with a hint of either the blue or green you chose for the vanity. And yes, replace the shower doors. If you prefer a more contemporary look, I'd also consider replacing the sink faucet...See More- 5 years ago
