Remember, this wasn't a..."I'm going to change everything" kind of thing! It was a cheap makeover! Same vanity, faucet, counter, mirror, bathtub... The change came with paint, accessories and a little bit of doing this and that!
The old oak messy vanity ...
white plain bathtub...
yellow paint...
I began working on the vanity, you can read everything about it HERE.
Then my attention went to the bathtub, no more plain Jane! I built a paneled cover to take care of that problem. For that check HERE.
The curtain rod was changed for a curved one, now the shower feels more spacious. A shampoo rack helps keep the tub area clutter free!
The walls were painted the same gray color I've been using around the house, Sherwin Williams Requisite Gray - Flat.
But not happy by simply painting the wall, I created this design to proved my patience! I now know, that yes! it was all worth it! Check HERE to find out the how to.
Later on a shelf was created to utilize the space behind the door with storage and decorative accents. HERE.
I still need to tell you about framing the mirror, creating the art, and changing the towel bar, that will be next time for now here are the pictures:

| The Light fixture was changed! |
 I love how nice the bathroom smells with so many soaps around! |
A new area rug from Ross hides a bit that not so pretty floor.
Some new accessories changed the mood completely! I found the blue pail holding the toothbrushes at Michael's.
My very own fabric piece of art beneath the window.
The before and afters:
My kids are loving their new bathroom, so far they have kept it clean, lets hope for that to continue!

You blow me away!!! That looks fantastic!! The panel on the bathtub is divine. Great job. Thanks for sharing with us. Wishing you a grand evening. Toodles, Kathryn @TheDedicatedHouse
I thought your after pic was a magazine inspiration! It looks amazing.
Sigh... a girl after my own heart.
LOVIN' it!
Lovin' the color --- the creativity --- the artwork --- the efficiency of price vs. effect.
YOU GO GIRL!

your make-over is very impressive, the bathroom feels so modern and fresh, you are an inspiration!
It looks wonderful and you did a fantastic job on it, I'm loving the tub!
I agree with Micki- the after pic looks like a magazine inspiration photo! My favorite part is the paneled tub cover. It makes a huge {and beautiful} impact!

This is an incredible transformation without changing the entire structure of the bathroom! WOW!
I'm obsessed with your paneled tub - clicked over to the tutorial of that and I'm sold on the idea ;)
The stenciled wall is beautiful too!
Heck, I loved every detail you shared :)
Beautiful transformation!
Dee
Great job and love the retro vibe!
Wow - what an amazing transformation! The conversion of your oak vanity is genius. Great job!
Beautiful!
That is amazing! I love the open vanity shelving, and I love the paneled cover you created for the bath! The contrast in the bathroom is beautiful! :)

This makeover is gorgeous! You did an amazing job! I'm a new follower!
This is very creative! I've pinned the shelves because that is the most genius (imo). I really like what you did just taking off the doors of the vanity - makes such a big change. Good job!
Wow.Wow! Beautiful transformation! It's hard to believe it's the same space! I love all of your creative DIY in this room. Great job!
I too had to do a mostly paint bath makeover. I can totally appreciate yours! You did a great job. It looks like a completely new space!! Enjoy all your hard work. Bravo ;)
Wow! What a fabulous makeover. I have a similar looking bathroom and you have given me hope that it can look on a budget.
Beatiful transformation! Love the pops of color!
I love how bright and airy your makeover is! The pops of color are great, too!
Awesome makeover!
xo Becca
What a transformation. It looks so wonderful. Great job!!
Fabuloso! What an inspiration to me! I have a very similar bathroom in need of a redo now that my daughter is moving out. Thanks for sharing such a great project -- LOVE your blog!
Oh wow that's incredible! My absolute favorite part has got to be the orange shelves behind the door, genius! This gives me hope that you can redo a bathroom simply and still have it be fabulous!
This is so impressive! I love the colors you chose, your stencil and the paneled bathtub cover-I've never seen anything like that-I'm in the middle of my bath makeover right now and plan on using some of those pops of orange-and have the same stencil too. Thanks for the beautiful inspiration :)
Wow, the power of paint! Plus your brilliance and skills of course. This is gorgeous. The pop of color from the shelves is my favorite,
Gorgeous!! I'm in love with the orange shelf!! The pop of color is so pretty. And of course the stenciled wall is just amazing!! I would love it if you stopped by and linked up to my Throwback Thursday party {goes through Sunday night}! http://www.hubbymademe.com/throwback-thursday-no-2/
I really like your vanity with all the open-ness! The entire room is awesome!
Did you have to do anything special to the cabinet before you painted it? It looks beautiful!
Thank you so much, everyone! Anonymous, I didn't do anything special, first it was primed and then two coats of paint were applied, as I did with the kitchen cabinets here: http://www.remodelandolacasa.com/2012/01/painting-kitchen-cabinets.html
Fabulous! I love tub and the cabinet....well done!
Where did you get your "shampoo rack?" I've been looking for one to go over the towel rack in the tub.
Lauren, That rack is an over-the-door storage solution I found at Bed, Bath and Beyond. It didn't work that well for my kids, too high for them to reach those bottles, and just yesterday I saw little bits of rust on it! :(
Such a beautiful transformation! Love it all!
Thanks for your comment over on my blog!! I appreciate it so much, especially coming from you!! I love your blog, it is my greatest inspiration. And actually my bathroom redo was going to include the frame for the tub, but I had a really hard time figuring out how to get this started. My tub has a funky curve to it, can you assist me with that? Thanks in advance!!!
Christina! Wow is all I can say! Wow!
We are joining your lovely blog. Glad we found you! Please check us out.
