Befores and Afters

I realize that it's just as important to remember where we came from as much as where we are. The same applies to a room makeover, so I've dug up some befores of rooms that I have previously posted.



Let's start with this lovely eternally 80's powder blue bathroom. I gutted this bath down to the studs so there was no trace of any blue tile or cheap vinyl floor. I also opened up the small space by removing the shower wall and installing a jetted tub with shower. You'll also notice classic white subway tile, but the new floor is marble-as well as the vanity counter top. I wanted a vanity that looked more like furniture and was pleased with this piece. The final touch was the toile wallpaper, which I consider very neutral, actually. Toile can work well if you break it up with large pieces of solid colors such as the vanity, shower, and even the toilet.
