Simple Pleasure

My bathroom was tiny and the space was not very attractive or functional. There was empty space behind the wall in back of the toilet so we used that space to install custom cabinets. We splurged on some must haves and accessorized with great bargain items. The pictures on the wall were photos which I put into frames that I had stored away for years and the accent tiles in the shower area were a bargain at the tile store. To keep it cohesive I went with a square theme from the ceiling tile design to the knobs on the cabinets and stuck to all matching fixtures in an antique bronze finish. My favorite splurge was the countertop which I fell in love with because of it's unique quality and design. My son did all of the work, so of course it makes my little spa-like retreat even more appreciated. It is still small but at least the space I do have is being used more efficiently and everything can be neatly put away. It is truly my Simple Little Pleasure.

This is a guest bathroom redo that was done for UNDER $1000.00. It was a 50's style bathroom that was never updated. Redo includes painted tile on vanity and shower, added feature wall in shower, seperated toilet from vanity with fabric, faux beams on ceiling, unique mirror and light fixture, new accents and new tile on floor with a personal design created by me!
UPDATE: WOW thanks for the response. It IS greatly appreciated!!! To answer some questions, I'm not sure what the wall color was called but its BEHR paint from Home Depot....I'll check and post later, as for water damage to the mirror in the shower, I simply sealed it with the same sealer I used on my deck. Everyone can find great deals if you just look for them and have some imagination. Clearance sections and discount stores like Home Goods, Ross, Marshals, etc. can be your best friend when decorating on a budget. Again I really appreciate all the response.

My 1920 house has one bath, small and utilitarian. I knew when I bought the house six years ago it had to be renovated. I wanted to retain the integrity of the bungalow style, but add modern and "green" elements, including the luxury of a hydro-electric tub, with a low-flow shower head and toilet, CFBs for lighting. I couldn't make the space bigger, so I concentrated on creating the best wow factor I could create. I added travertine tile, bought on sale, for the tub surround, made my own tryptic ceraminc loon tile (I live in Minnesota and had it inset as a feature in the classic subway tile, and took the tile all the way to the ceiling. I splurged on Epro handmade tile in an Arts & Crafts matt green which flows around the bath, tying it all together. I used brush nickel fixtures--for a timeless look which won't go out of style. To add space for towels, I picked a double bar towel rack. I had six years to pour over books on bungalow design, during which I carefully noted design tips on HGTV and DIY, providing more than sufficient time to make design decisions. Working on a tight budget, the I searched carefully for affordable fixtures, including a pick up an interesting light fixture at a good price, and reasonably priced craftsman style medicine cabinet (note that the contractor installed it upside down, but that will be an easy fix! I was also able to save money by repairing the original hexagonal tile floor and keeping the pedestal sink. The whole rennovation cost less than $9,000. My contractor ripped everything out of the old bath down to the studs, and built me a whole new bath, based on my design, in exactly two weeks.
