Main Bathroom Face Lift on a Budget

Excuse me while I go back to my blogging roots and write a "love to junk" post.

My favorite bloggers are creative, thrifty, and love before and after photos.  I mentioned in a post last week that I have been busy decorating our neglected, teeny tiny main bath.  I am proud to share that this project is complete. After getting creative and shopping the house, I only spent $63.00.  Score!

Main bathroom before (Did I mention that it is really small?)...

 After...






Believe it or not, I purchased this lovely shower curtain at a garage sale last summer for $1.  I repurposed frames that I had stashed in the basement and used vintage wooden yard sticks along with repurposed canvases to create the wall art above the toilet.  A few boards, paint, and a little creative work was all it took to make the other art.

How I spent the $63:
-$50 on new linens including a small green rug (The rug makes my family feel rich.)
-$3 for a pack of 3 small frames on clearance at Target (I only used two in this space.)
-$2 (garage sale)  for the 3 boards that were used to create the "Speak Life, Show Love, Serve Faithfully" signs
-$8 for the long board used to make the "WASH UP" sign

I also touched up the walls and repainted all the white trim.  Did I mention that I scrubbed it from top to bottom?  I can now walk by this room without wanting to scream.
